The Move!
I'm trying something different with the beats this week ... country. I'll explain that in a minute. BUT, I still really wanted to put a "normal" move up here, ya know, something like The Bernie or Jerkin or The Stanky Legg. But then you really couldn't put the move and the playlist together. At all. Siiiiigh, I guess I will put country moves on here (i'm whining if you can't tell). I get in trouble at just about every wedding I go to when they start playing country music. First I say "no", then I say "I don't country dance" and then finally "FINE! I warned you!" Then one minute later I hear, "Wait, you're from Wyoming? Why don't you know how to country dance? Wyoming girls always try to lead." Seriously dude, I don't want to be out here either. Annnyway, maybe someday I'll learn so I can avoid that conversation altogether.
The Tush Push?? Whaaaat?! ... HAHAHA.

The Beats!
Ummm, I don't really know what happened but for some reason I thought apple pie ... and I thought country music. This never happens. To be honest, I've never really had any interest in classic country. I like bluegrass, I like folk, I don't like depressing, whiny music. My roommate in college used to listen to country on Sundays and when I would come home and turn on the stereo ... I would realize what had happened. Sometimes I was forced into hearing a few lines before I could find the remote to change back to my thug station. Anyway, I'm making an exception today. But since I've never listened to country I asked a friend to come up with a list of his favorite songs. He sent me the names of 36 songs and I recognized 1 of them. I added a few of my own, one of which I'm not even sure qualifies as country, but it's close enough. Here goes:
The Treats!
Here's the apple pie, as promised. I collected the apples from a park down the street while my dad and step-mom were visiting ... Carolyn climbed up the tree to knock the best looking apples down to my father (attempting to catch them) while I jumped from below, snatching branches and shaking them until they pummeled me and the ground. I'm sure we made a scene, maybe more entertaining than the nearby cricket match. Anyway, the apples were tart and flavorful, and free. I don't dislike apple pie, but it's never been my favorite (which somehow seems un-American) but this recipe is ridiculously easy and it is pretty darn good served warm with vanilla icecream. And maybe with caramel sauce ...

Apple Pie
From Cooking Light Complete Cookbook
(makes 1 pie, 10 servings or 5 ramekin pies)
What you'll need ...
(makes 1 pie, 10 servings or 5 ramekin pies)
What you'll need ...1 crust (bought or homemade)
8 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
(about 8 medium apples, something tart like Braeburns)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon sugar
Well, after the blackberry pie, and now this you've probably guessed that I don't usually make my own pie crusts. My grandmother always made delicious pie crusts, but I just find it too tempting to pick up the pre-made crusts and within five minutes have a pie put together. If you prefer homemade crusts I'm all for it. Also, if you'd like, you can turn this recipe into "personal" pies, made with small ramekins. Follow the same instructions, cutting the crust into smaller circles. Check the pies before the full baking time, as they may not require the full time.
