Today's applepie

[Guest guest]

OMGoddess Amy! That is so pretty! Almost too pretty to

eat, eh? i am going to put it up on the frontpage pic for

the remainder of the month, if that is okay with you.

You do a very good job photographing your food, too.

Amy, that is gorgeous. Looks very good too (nicely browned crust).

That must have been a whole lot o' slicing!

 

Oh btw, you have the most wonderfully organized pantry. I see your

kitty helped you with that. What kind of tubs are those - are they

microwave safe? Thanks.

Thanks, pt! It was fun to make... and I took it to DH's office and

let them all eat it! :-) Thanks for photo compliment too... I do love

taking pictures. Oh, and yes, you can use it on the front page if you

like.

Thanks, Shawn! The slicing was the easy part; arranging them in the

pie took some time though! :-) The crust has sour cream in it, and

you brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar just before baking, so it

always browns nicely (knock on wood; at least every time so farfor the

last 6 or 7 years!).

Here's a link to one site that sells them:

http://www.organize-everything.com/lolofostco.html

 

I know Target has a few sizes as well. When we lived in SC, the

Winn-Dixie had them and if you had their customer card, you could get

them really cheaply. I went back many times for more! Oh, and when

you use these in the fridge, they are airtight - food lasts much

longer than a normal rubbermaid type thing. My washed lettuces last

at least a week usually longer. They are microwave safe, but as with

everything plastic, I would not nuke anything fatty or acidic

(tomatoes) etc., or you'll end up with pits and stains (well, I assume

you would with these, I rarely use the microwave and stopped nuking in

plastic before I had these).

 

Oh, and kitty definitely likes to get in anywhere she can! I think

that was Chloe; her sister looks much the same though so I can't tell

without seeing the face.
