Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Apple peeler, corer, slicer...

As long as there are paring knives and other 'sharp things' with which to give an apple a good trimmin', a gadget like this isn't on a "HAVE TO HAVE" list! But, for me, it's in my list of gadgets that I "LIKE TO HAVE"!

With this, I can get a pile of apples ready for a pie or a crisp in a real hurry. I'm sure every one of you have already seen one, and many of you probably have one.

Below: When the apple has gone 'all the way through', like this, I carefully pull it off and chop it up as seen in the bottom photo.

Below: If I want slices for an apple pie, I cut the slices in half or thirds. For a recipe that calls for chopped apples, I make 1/2" cuts all the way around. This works so SLICK. SLICK and QUICK!!!!!
