Local apple grower has closed for the season, but not before we got a basket of mutsus or crispins.

If you haven't tried them, they are a little bit of heaven on earth...one of the best apples I've ever tasted.

Thanks for the tip, I love trying new apples!

Have you ever had winesaps? An old variety, but my fave.

3926. robertjayb - 1/2/2007 9:31:55 PM

I'll look for them. We've been going through honeycrisp and jazz.

Winesaps are goood! I like a tartish apple with the benchmark being Macouns at the top of their season.

Four recliners!

My 17 year old niece is crazy about Rachel Ray. Dinner sounds delicious.

It's so wonderful having a stay-at-home-hubby...he's busy cleaning the house and doing the food shopping today so tomorrow all I have to do is cook and arrange flowers.

3936. wonkers2 - 1/5/2007 10:05:27 PM

Don't lay the whip on him too hard!

3937. thoughtful - 1/5/2007 10:24:38 PM

Nah...every once in awhile, if he gets cranky, i go out and buy him a new blouse...

3938. judithathome - 1/5/2007 10:57:23 PM

Hahahahha! And schedule a pedicure for him at the salon?

3939. thoughtful - 1/5/2007 11:15:40 PM

He may be weary....hubbys do get weary

My wife is still working and I'm pretty well retired. Can you believe she actually expects me to make dinner 2-3 times a week? I get no credit for putting the garbage out, mowing the lawn, shoveling the snow, unstopping the drains, getting her car serviced, etc. Things are getting out of hand.

3941. arkymalarky - 1/6/2007 1:13:09 AM

Haha! Bob and I are having retirement competition. He's 8 years older than I am and thinks he should retire first, but I've taught a lot longer and will be eligible in two years. I'll go at least three more f/t and maybe switch to p/t after that.
