Am I the only one?

Any other friends out there blog? I know Erin Corcoran does but for some reason there is no way to subscribe to her blog on her page.

** HEY Erin, how's a girl supposed to subscribe to your blog if there isn't a subscribe button? **


So the past couple days have been a hustle and bustle of dealings with the post office and printers. Who knew printers could be such a pivotal device in life. Haha. The post office is awesome though. Helpful.

I got to speak with a really awesome woman today. She is a friend of mine and she's going through a difficult time in her life. Please be praying for her and her grandson who she is in the process of adopting. Her name is Stephanie and her grandson's name is Elijah. She's an encourager in my life, and such a blessing.

Last night I made Rhubarb Apple Crisp.

Here's what I did, it's all an estimation because I just dumped stuff in to a bowl and went at it.\

For the Filling:
3 large tart apples, peeled and sliced to about 1/8 inch
1/2 cup rhubarb (I was super lucky to score some rhubarb from my aforementioned friend's mother's garden at her house on Bainbridge Island, I had previously cut it to about 1/3" pieces and froze it.)
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place filling in an 8x8 glass baking dish.

For the Crisp Topping:
(these are approximate amounts)

1/3 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup oats, old fashioned or quick cook which ever you prefer, I used quick cooking since I only had those on hand
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix thoroughly together and spread somewhat evenly over the apples and rhubarb mixure.
Bake for 20 minutes, then test apples if still too firm when poked with a fork bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm alone or topped with ice cream or whipped cream.

Super delish!


On a side note, one of these days I will make a sour cream apple pie. And we can all thank Tracy Little for introducing that pie to me. As far as apple pies go, this one can not be beaten!

I still haven't found my digital camera and am getting worried that it is no longer in my possesion. :(

That's it for now!
