Idea for the weekend: Smitten Kitchen’s apple pancakes.

Nicole Franzen goes apple picking and then makes a pie. Indeed.

Over at a cool site called Forty-Sixth at Grace, check out the “For the Love of Pie” series.

I made this over the weekend and loved it.

This version of the recipe is slightly different from the one in her cookbook but it’ll do the trick (in her book she calls for two tablespoons of maldon salt and I think one, as it is listed here, is fine). I added some hot pepper flakes at the end, too. Dag, it was tasty.

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’.

I know I’ve shared this with you before but in case you missed it, here’s a sure shot: David Chang’s brussels sprouts (via Food 52).

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.
