All Treats!

My talented, handsome, fun-loving nephews, 

Brett (left) and Bryce (right), recently came over 

for an evening of pumpkin carving and seed roasting!

 Nothing but laughs as Jeff pretended to be Martha Stewart  

waxing poetic about each pumpkin's carving potential.

 Getting down to brass tacks, Brett and I opted for simple faces, 

while Bryce took time for detailed expression....

 Guess which one is Bryce's?

With faces glowing and seeds roasting, 
our evening wound down with (burn-our-mouths) hot apple crisp!  

Here's Ina Garten's Old Fashioned Apple Crisp, 

and as our burnt mouths can attest, it's a keeper!

  

Serving as September's contribution to my 
year-long Personal Pie Challenge, 

this crisp is everything you want a crisp to be. 

Adding pears, cranberries and walnuts would  
likely create crisp bliss.

If you follow this blog you may know 
I'm a long time fan of Alabama Chanin / Natalie Chanin 
and have steadily been hand sewing my own wardrobe 
in the AC style.

 Organic, cotton jersey, stenciled and reverse appliqued.

If you're in the Cortland area and want to learn 
the simple pleasure of hand sewing 
your own basic fingerless gloves (advanced shown above),
