At Least a Candy Apple

I think the peak of fall foliage is over. Or, it's almost over. I haven't gone apple picking yet. We always go apple picking. I love going apple picking. We go to this orchard that sits on top of a hill and you look out over a lake and mountains. It's always sunny there and I just love it. We haven't had time to go yet this year and I'm very much afraid it will pass us by.

So, I made these the other night. Store bought apples - completely lame - but so delicious and beautiful anyway.

Have you ever made candy apples? It's so easy. I was very surpised how easy. And, it's too much fun to play with the leftover candy-lava afterwards. If you drizzle it into cold water, it hardens instantly creating the most amazing swirlies and spikes and drip castles in the bowl. Glittering red - like melted ruby slippers. I had way too much fun with this. I kept thinking, "I should call the kids down to share in this fun with me. They would love it." But, I was bitten by the ultra-selfish bug and wanted all the fun to myself.

Try it sometime. It's lovely play.
