Random stuff

I have to go to work in two hours. That feels so weird. I'm not so much in the mood, but I guess that's what working is all about. My parents are headed to Lexington to take a class about food stamps, so the other woman is there. She's nice enough, but we have nothing in common and I'm not good with small talk.

carrieb and ozswede asked about the fried apples, so I thought I'd elaborate on them. I had to call my mother to ask about it, since I've never made them for myself. The apples are really not so much fried as cooked. I don't know if I added the fried part or if that's what they call them, but stewlis seemed to know what I meant, unless she fixes them some other way. I don't know. Anyway. Peel the apples, quarter them and cut into pretty thin slices. (1/16 inch or thereabouts, maybe) and put into a pot. Add just enough water to keep them from sticking (but not too much, especially if they're frozen, cause they'll make their own juice.) Cook with a little oil (sounds to me like butter would be better, but what do I know?) and possibly some sugar until they're tender and the water cooks out of them. (Depends on the apple as to the amount of sugar. To taste. It's supposed to a be a kind of sweet dish, though.) They're often kinda mushy. Eat with biscuits and other breakfast food.

I can't think of what else I was going to write about, so might as well go fix myself some lunch and get ready to leave. But first, a cheery hello to shornshort. :)
