MARY at WORKS OF THE POET is hosting this very RED day...Thanks so much!!
***
Remember the bright red, perfect little PINK LADY apples we picked at the orchard this week ?
So perfect that everyone just KNOWS they are fake...until they take a bite, that is...
Ummmm
**
I wanted to make a cake for my friend that is having a few health problems right now...
Thought an apple cake would just make her feel better !
***
apple cake..
**
....and, I DID find a good sounding one in my ISN'T LIFE DELICIOUS cookbook...
**
I love this old gym locker basket with the number 65 on it....it's perfect to hold some of my
favorite cookbooks...and looks good sitting on the bakers rack.
I bought two of these little wire baskets at a garage sale about 10 years ago for 50 cents a piece.
These were the only two she had....I would have bought 50 if I could!! :O)
****
OF COURSE, I had to put my beautiful black and white apron on before I started cooking !!
Sweet PENNY had KATHY make this for me and I have never been so surprised in my entire
loooong life....and so delighted !!
***
I gathered all the ingredients together ....
**
I have tried, all my life, to peel an apple without the skin breaking...just one long apple skin !
I never have been able to do it...
O, and the grating of the apples....I didn't like that one bit. Afraid I was going to skin my fingers and nearly did !
I am pretty sure they make better graters than I have !! ??
***
AND...if this apple cake is really good....I'll post the recipe a little later...
AFTER MARTHA and I give it the TASTE TEST !!
There's an apple cake recipe, made in a cast iron skillet, over at THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS..
I am going to try it next....
:o)
I hope you are having a wonderful day...
I love all of you and I thank you so much for coming by to see me.
Ummmm

Hello BJ! I haven't stopped by in awhile...but I have lurked! As always I enjoy your blog. You make me want to bake with that cake idea of yours. Here in Michigan we are having very cold windy weather, the perfect kind to bake in and make the our homes smell wonderful. Hope you enjoy your time with your friend and I hope she is on the mend soon!

Yummy! I bet your friend was a happy camper! You are so sweet.
How luscious! I'll be right over! There's something that says home and warm and safe about all of this. Beautiful!

Hugs and blessings,
Ohh I love apple cake!
Red is my mother's favorite color and always reminds me of her :)
Love your fall heading photo!
BJ, every time I go to Home Goods or Marshall's, I think of you! Every time I see black and white or red, I do, too! And speaking of seeing, I miss seeing you... my computer is still away from me, and I'm on Adelaide's right now trying to visit some of my blogging buddies.
That last photograph looks like it came straight from the pages of a magazine. Girl, that one is a definite keeper. Love all of your cute things in this post... that apron is the bee's knees.
Sending you much love...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi BJ, love those Pink Lady apples. I brought apples home from MI. My favorites are Macintosh. I didn't have the fun of picking them though. On our farm in MI many years ago my dad planted an apple orchard. Did I tell you this? The orchard is still there but there are homes built in between the apple trees. I guess the property was sold off but many of the trees survived. I wanted to walk through the orchard but it is all private property now. Sigh. Our farm house is still there and in great shape for being over one hundred years old. Someone loves the old homestead as much as we did.
I know your apple cake was delicious. I have never grated apples. I did have an awesome apple peeler but my daughter begged it away from me. Darn, I could use it right now. LOL. I think our children rule more all the time. That's ok I know when to put my foot down. Laughing here!!!
Have a wonderful day BJ. I love your header. Darn, mine will never change. It is way too much trouble.
Hugs xoxo, Jeanne
Very nice shots! Looks so tasty! I love the baskets, I'd have bought a few myself too ;)
Mmmm, you can send one of those to me anytime you'd like! :) LOL! Thanks for stopping by the blog yesterday bj! I can't wait to see what you do with those little birds! :) Oh - and the door, (leaning against the wall in the living room) that's from a Victorian garage door. I found it at an antique store in Ellicotville, NY and paid about $10 for it I think. I thought it was painted brown, but when I started to clean it up preparing to sand it down, I noticed that it was just a thick layer of dirt over the natural wood. So I kept cleaning and then propped it against the wall to balance out the cabinet on the otherside of the doors. It's been there ever since. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of the whole house! I'm glad you liked it too!
Oh yum, what a wonderful series of Ruby Tuesday photos. That cake looks delicious and the apples so red! :)
What a beautiful post. So good to be back from our travels and able to read my favorite blogs again. Yours always make me smile. :)
Blessings.
Whoa that looks and sounds wonderful! I am so happy you are happy with your apron!! You are such a sweety.
xo
Penny
That looks delicious! I have to go back and look to see if you put some PEA CANS on top..:)
You don't need any apple recipes from me..look at those neat bins filled with cookbooks!
I love your entire post ending with that cake that I just know would be good with a cup of coffee. AND, it was that terrific photo of the red apples with that black and white tile that pulled me in and made me go AH!
Lovely post!
Well, I just now at almost 3:00 AM and a day late got to look at your blog. Just wanted everybody to know that your apple cake was soooo good and made me feel a lot better. Of course, the visit helped considerably as well. I tell you those apples are just beautiful; so perfect. Everybody should have a precious friend like you. Beautiful blog!
Love,
Martha
