The Wonders of Non-Electronic Apple Gizmology

Posted on 2006-Jul-17 at 08:06 - Post Comment

I've never been a very good cooker, so when all of a sudden our apple tree started bursting at the seams I began developing a nervous twitch.  I feel guilty if things go to waste, and all of a sudden I had about a hundred billion shiney apples just hanging there expecting me to do something with them..  So Gena, being the best sister that she is, gave me her Super Duper DeLux Apple/Peeler/Corer Gadget and *poof* -- I'm now in Apple Heaven.   If you ever find yourself up to your eyeballs in apples, you should get one of these.


Here's BoBo and Julia (gena's kid) in action with the wizardly thing


We could peel, core and slice the apples in about twenty seconds.  No Joke.



Ta Dah!  Is that not the prettiest pie ever assembled by an Igarashi?  I hate apple pie, but I actually found this one one rather tasty.  I also threw a bunch of apple slices in the dehydrator that gena bought me for Christmas, and my kids *loved* those. Everybody was amazed -- me most of all.

My next trick will involve learning what to do with tomatoes.  I hate tomatoes. I would have never planted them if I would have known they'd actually grow.

Yep, yep, yep! We love our apple, peeler, corer thingee, too. It was the perfect gadget years ago that converted my boys into eating apples - especially my pickiest one who I won't mention his name being the oldest one or anything....

Beautiful pie - so when do you start shipping Igarashi Pie Company Pies?

I stopped over here *knowing* you haven't had time nor reason to update...
I guess I thought maybe Geoff the Great might have taken over this blog and renamed it to something utterly creative about goats and all he is learning on his webring!
C'mon, Geoff - you have so much knowledge to offer us here... hint, hint.
Yes, I know you aren't the *blogging type*!!

Take care friends...
