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. :)

I'm really not a big fan of them, so I don't really know much about it. You know I've never been so much into country cooking! ;) They're okay, but nothing I'd crave. I believe that they prefer them mushy in my family. I kinda do, anyway. Mom was laughing at the ones she froze this week because she did them all together, and so when they get cooked, they're going to be some mushy, some firm.. hopefully the added texture will be a good thing! :)

I don't believe I've ever talked so much about apples in my life, but one more post!! It won't hurt to have them mixed up, I like it that way best, so you get some of the mush and some of the whole pieces (is that right? Can you have a whole piece of something?!!) it makes for a nice texture combo. :) I can live without them but they remind me of home, and are quite yummy. Though mom had them like, every day, so I kinda got bored with them and took them for granted.
