Apple Cake


I remember the day I first had this cake.
It was many moons ago.
I asked Aunt Margie for the recipe.
The best recipes are written by the hand
of those that *own* it.
 


This isn't an easy cake to make.
I never know for sure when to cut up the apples....
before? then they may turn brown,
or during the process....
and sort of bring everything to a halt.
 
This is when it's nice to have
a designated stir person.
 


 
Out of the whole process,
this is my favorite part.
I love using the sifter,
because it makes me think of the
day I bought it.
That's why I like to buy practical
things on trips.....because when
the practical things are being put to use,
they remind me of things.
Things other than when to cut up
apples.
 
 
 

 


 
I used Honeycrisp.
I love to eat these, too,
but they were a little old,
so they were perfect for a cake.
I'm not eating a mushy apple.
 


 
The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of oil.
That is a LOT of oil.
 


 
The cake is yummy,
but maybe a little unpredictable..
Turns out a little different each time,
it's because of the apples.
They're not constant, and neither are bananas in a recipe.
 
But nuts are.
Nuts are constant.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
