So, we keep getting all these apples from our CSA and now we have 3-4 bags of apples on backlog.  Tonight I took some initiative and just decided to take the oldest back and slice them all up.  Not sure what we are going to do with them or not, but I hope to figure it out within the next 20 minutes or so.  So for our second to last Vegan MoFo post I have something a little more interactive.  Leave a comment and let us know what you do with old, softening apples.  Do you make a crisp?  Bake a pie?  Whip up some sauce?  Make some jelly?  leave a note (and a link to a recipe!).

Before I start my post, let me state an awesome fact:

THE PHILLIES WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!

This is the first time that my favorite baseball team has won the world series. The Indians broke my heart when they lost the World Series in 1995 (not really close) and 1997 (they should have won!) but this makes up for it. They really had a great team this year and it showed. I can now die a happy man (assuming I die before the next World Series, that is ).

Now, on to our regularly scheduled vegan mofo post…

For Colleen’s birthday last year, I made her a peanut butter chocolate silk pie. She had been asking for one so I thought she would be excited to have it. Somehow our signals must have gotten crossed because she was pretty mad that I didn’t make something else for her. To add insult to injury, I didn’t think the pie was that good so I figured the recipe would be tossed aside and never see the light of day again. Fast forward a year or so and it was Colleen’s birthday again and, almost miraculously, she was asking me to make the pie again.
