The entry's title is, of course, ironic. I came back from Spain with "only" 140 or so pictures, a total of about 1/3 GB, but the old laptop where I manage all of that is touch-and-go with free space. With a long weekend, I picked up the long neglected project of getting XP installed on the workstation I purchased after Intrusic cratered last January.
After putting in more time than it really should have, I now have sufficient functionality on the new PC to load the pics and start to sort through things.
That does mean that other things are late. This note is being written on the 27th, but the pie was made on the 22nd, and that's where I will set the posting date.
This recipe is one of sixteen apple pie recipes from my company's internal web site. It is a traditional apple pie with a twist: a tablespoon of hot green peppers. The recipe originates from Señor Pie, an Albuquerque company. The recipe was featured on Weekend Edition on Saturday, January 8, 2005. Less amusing, it appears the company's owner has gotten himself in serious criminal legal trouble (non-pie-related).
The verdict on this pie was mixed. Jen says "no". I find the gimmick to be a nice break from the onslaught of holiday treats. It goes well with a melted slab of cheddar cheese.
There should be more postings over the upcoming long weekend on my trip and the holidays.
