Every year I make a point of taking the monkeys to this event just to get an apple donut, so yummy and cinnamon-y, this time Tasha treated us to this delectable small wonder... I myself did not indulge in one... but did have a nibble of my Hammy's... just a little taste, that's all I needed ;)
So we walked the festival and checked out all that was there, the boys all crammed into the hydro truck bucket and headed for a ride in the sky, hot dogs and pop were had, and cider and apples were bought... then we headed for a cup of tea at Tasha's Mom and Dad's place...
Such a fun morning with friends, the only downfall was that Daddy had to work... and was pretty upset that we didn't bring him home a candy apple... but in our defense, we didn't have one either... I opted for treating the boys to a hot dog lunch (I know, the nutritional value of that lunch was somewhat lacking, but every now and then as a treat it's worth it)...
As I said earlier, I did buy apples... a big bag, and this is what has become of a great number of them...
...apple butter, actually canned properly and not just being thrown in the freezer... and a huge jar of applesauce, I could eat that whole jar in one sitting :O
I'll still take the kids to pick apples in a week or so and we'll make more applesauce to store for winter... I really like the idea of preserving food... it's very satisfying and I feel like I'm doing something good for my family... the only drawback for me, is the lack of storage space for preserves, I don't have a cold cellar and every square inch of our basement has been planned for already...
Anyway, enough, time to go enjoy this beautiful day... have a fantastically sunny Sunday everyone ;)
YUM in my tum! You're such an over-achiever to have already "sauced-up" your pommes! And, since presentation is (almost) everything - look at those c-u-t-e little jars! Love 'em!
