Well, I've been lazy and unmotivated, and I didn't even alert you to the Honeycrisp apple season, come and gone for the year. It should be about time for the Northern Spys (Spies?), though- my favorite pie apple for American style pies.
I do like those Golden Delicious for the frenchified ones, though. A recent tarte tatin from some farmbox organically raised and very fresh G. D. apples was demolished before I thought to take a picture. I learned to make tarte tatin from a Patricia Wells recipe, which had a very useful hint for arranging the apples when you start. I'm going to make another one soon, and plan to tell you all about it. When I get back.
I'm off to New England to visit friend C., and we're going to Nantucket for a weekend while I'm there. Ocean. autumn leaves, the lot. So. I'm thinking I should be energized by my holiday, and get back to posting a little more often.
Have a great time! I've been quiet lately also. Will be gone a few days as well and hope to be blogging more soon.

God bless ya - we share tastes in apples. Honeycrisp are the best for out of hand eating, Northern Spies for pies. In fact, I'm hoping to make a pie this weekend...
