We were cat sitting while J & J were away. They left behind a bag of apples from an apple picking outing and invited us to take 'em. What better use of apples then, than to make a pie?

As a guest in someone else's kitchen, I kept it simple. Store bought crusts and just the basics: apples and a bit of sugar, molasses, spice, and egg whites to glaze the top. With no ham in the list of ingredients, there was no company for me during the preparations.

I'll backdate this post to reflect when the pie was made. Pic snapped with the cell phone.

Back in February, we lost our living room as the kitchen was torn out and relocated. The new kitchen came together in May and June, and we then lost our bedrooms, swapping the living room into our nightly sleeping quarters. Then in July, it morphed into the post-knee-replacement rehab center.

This weekend past, we started getting the master bedroom back into shape. Today, a closet system was installed in the new added on space. Maybe this will all come to an end after all.

We threw together a couple of pizza pies for tonight's "watch the Angels vs the Red Sox" game. "Hey!", I says to myself, "a pizza is a pie". The sauce and dough was store bought, but still give us an above average grade for effort. Tasty, too.

Best of all, Josh Beckett tosses a shutout and the Red Sox start the series with a win.
