I don’t have a thing for red velvet cake or cupcakes but I saw this picture and damn do I ever want one.

The jammies over at Magnolia are pretty slammin’.

During the storm The Wife and I tried to make an apple pie. Well, we made one, all right, but our dumb asses–and I’m not assigning blame, here–forgot one whole cup of flower and the result was apple gloop. Over the weekend I tried again and yup, this time it worked, even though I undercooked it slightly so that the granny smith apples were still al dente.

Now, the only trouble with making a pie for two is that, well, you’ve got a ton of pie leftover. We were both too lazy to bring it to work so I packed some of it in a plastic container and have been nibbling away ever since, diet be damned.

We didn’t get much sleep last night but we were happy this morning. And you know what I had for breakfast as I watched the election results?

Yo got that right: All-American Apple Pie.

Recipe from Smitten Kitchen.

Christopher Boffili’s Big Appetites.

Over at Food 52, dig into this:  Cardamom Honey Caramel Apples and Pears from Ashley Rodriguez.

Sure. I’m down for this. Smitten Kitchen wins again. And so do we.

I haven’t had a bagel in a minute but every once in a while I really get a craving for one. Know what I mean?

I like mine with butter, plain or a sesame, though I could get nuts and do onion or one of them crazy “everything” bagels. Sometimes with a few slices of tomato.

How do you like ’em?

Out in New Mexico…

it’s harvest time for chilies.

I’ve never been out there at this time of year but the air is filled with that roasting smell.

Man, sounds heavenly, doesn’t it?

I had ravioli last weekend. Man, it’s an indulgence but they’s just so damn good. And this picture by Bags reminded me of how much I enjoy peas.

What’s your favorite cut of French Fry? I like ’em all though I’m not crazy about Waffle Fries.

Here’s where you can get some good fries in America.
