Blue skies after the morning flurries. So far, a disappointing snowstorm. It was late to arrive. It brought lower-than-predicted amounts of precipitation. There continue to be changes in the forecast. And discrepancies. Big ones. Question: Will it snow this afternoon? Answer(s): Weather.gov predicts a 30% chance. Weather Underground? It's 100% certain. If I check Weather.com, there won't be any afternoon snow.
I am making applesauce. An experiment for spike (a.k.a. something I can bring along to eat while spike camping during my next work project). Potentially cheaper (and tastier) than buying sauce in containers... though if I'm going for cheap I shouldn't have bought apples at the natural food store. Whoops.
I am reading Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle [website includes recipes]. I suppose the book contributed slightly to the apple chunk experiment currently simmering/steaming in a pot on my stove. As it turns out, after peeling/cutting/coring (which, by the way, takes forever) and cooking 6 apples, I ended with but a small bowl's worth of steaming apple mash.
If inspiration and motivation don't abandon me, my spring and summer should be full of farmer's market trips and locally-grown culinary concoctions... do apples grow in Southwest Colorado?
