Six Word Saturday -- Apple pie and _____________ (you fill in the blank)
My Ruby Red is dated September 15, above. click here!
Apple pie and cheese my favorite
I'd have a slice of American Cheese
over a large slice of still warm apple pie.
What could be better than that?

What is to follow here will be my quick and easy apple pie recipe.
This apple pie will be really good once I get it baked.
.
But first I have to get dressed.
My Saturday morning rule,
be dressed by noon.

Okay, I didn't dress. Instead I typed up my recipe:
Ingredients:
1 Box pastry shells for two 9-inch two-crust pies
(Kroger frozen Pie Crusts-unroll & bake or equivalent)
6 cups sliced pared tart apples
1 can prepared Apple Pie Filling (Comstock or equivalent)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon – optional*
¼ teaspoon nutmeg – optional*
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Heat oven to 425°. Prepare pastry using directions on the box.
Stir together optional spices, sliced apples, and prepared pie filling mix.
Turn into pastry-lined pans; dot with butter
Cover with top crust using fluting and design of your choice. Be sure
there are a few opening slits for the steam to escape.
Place strip of aluminum foil covering the edges. Otherwise the crusts
will bake first and may even burn.
Remove foil for the last 15 minutes.
Bake 45 minutes, more or less. Pie is done when crust is brown and
the pie liquids begin to ease or bubble through the crust openings.
* I generally do not add additional spices. Remember the seasoning
in the prepared mix is for one pie in the eyes of the manufacturer. This
may not be strong enough flavor for two pies to suit your taste.
I hope you try making this, it really is quick and easy. And good!

Happy Birthday Ben!
From your family, Mr. and Mrs. Ben and Little Ben.
Big Ben is 150 years old today, it doesn't seem possible, does it? And he's still going strong! (link)

I've been to see Big Ben quite a few times but all were before I graduated to a digital camera. If anyone has a picture posted for me to 'borrow' for this post I will use it and give you credit.
Just let me know it's okay and where to find it.

This week is Egg Salad Week. (link for low cal egg salad recipe) (click on picture for bigger view)
You can see I like my eggs in an omelet. This is a three egg omelet with the works that Mrs. Jim and I shared the other day.
Oh yes, there were potatoes and fruit besides the sausage and biscuits and jelly. Plus a few other goodies.
or how about making some Crystal Light frozen pops?
or buy some?

I wish I could -- Why I can't and never will
Wishes that won't come true:
I wish I could paint -- I don't like to paint rooms or houses, that's all I can paint. I am not artistic
I wish I could sing -- After being kicked out (asked to leave) a church choir (Methodist Church in New Hampshire) I knew that was the end of my public singing. The choir director said I had a bad ear. Before that in El Paso I sang in the choir and in a men's chorus group. I was having a ball.
I wish I could be young again -- This just doesn't work, to make it work would be violating the laws of Mother Nature (i.e. a miracle that only God can perform)
I wish I could go to the South Pole -- This is possible only as a team member in a scientific expedition. I am too old to get hired for even a volunteer position.
I wish I could eat peanuts and all the other good nuts, Peanut M&Ms, pecan pie, and foods containing seeds -- Dr. Said No (colonoscopy doctor) told me not to do this anymore.
I wish I could be an astronaut -- answer similar to why I can't visit the South Pole. I did volunteer once when I was working at NASA Houston Manned Space Center.
I wish I could drive a car 200 miles per hour or higher -- I am afraid to put my trust in the metal and rubber parts of the car. The fastest I have been is 150 mph (240 kilometers per hour) on the Autobahn. And 140 plus just a little bit on the U.S. highways.
I wish I could tell you all the other things I can never do even if I wished I could -- You are bored to tears if you got this far in the blog and I won't bore you any more. If you ask real nice and say you aren't bored I can make a part two for you.
So leave a comment for me and the rest of us. You might even wish to tell me of your unfilled wishes, attainable or not.
You can see this list is pretty silly. That is because I've done everything in life that I really needed to do and have done most of the things I've wanted to do.
So I don't complain (much) for me. However there are a lot of injustices in this world, a few of which affect me, and a lot of hurting people who do need things yet in their lives.
Also, God has been very good to me. But I realize that He is good to ALL his children so I didn't want to boast about that in the post. I don't feel I am any more blessed or loved than any other child of His. Mostly I was in the right place at the right times in my life and choose the right door to open.
Of course I did choose the wrong door occasionally but fortunately then somehow I listened for God's loving voice in time*** and found my way out of the wrong places. So far that is, I am not perfect at all, I have a lot of flaws and do get in a lot of hot water.
