HANSEL AND GRETEL's apples

It sounds like a fine breakfast to me. Milk, Pancakes, apples and nuts. I dont put apples in my pancakes incidently but am known to experiment with the occasional palmful of blueberries.

She took them both by the hand,and led them into her little house. Then good food was set before them, milk and pancakes, with sugar, apples, and nuts. Afterwards two pretty little beds were covered with clean white linen, and Hansel and Gretel lay down in them, and thought they were in heaven.

To the children pancakes and apples were heaven, see that word? Heaven. Of course the woman went to to try to cook and eat the children but not with apples.

Apple Pancakes are a wonderment, I am not skilled enough to produce one worthy of the apple. This below recepie copped from http://www.dicarlofood.com/. It seems overtly heavy but you jet the gist. The best I ever head were at http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/ but that receipie is a mystery.

Each watercolor... glows like the real thing. Apples with their smooth texture but irregular coloring come alive on the rough thick paper and the watery thin pigments.

There is a lesson here with a golden apple for a subject.

I like Mr. Yong's quote "If your apple is has speckles, make little dots of brown where the speckles appear."

As with all who have mastered their craft, it sounds so simple.

Apple Chips

I was on a long drive down the canadian coast and there was nothing there but abandoned farms and equally abandoned gas stations. When I saw a rest stop that sold these, I kew it was the closet thing to real food I'd see for another day. They were stunningly good, and then almost dissapointly good for me. They are sweet, crunchy and do not persist in the mouth longer than you want. Instead they leap from crunchy to dissolving in seconds.

The Apple Dumpling Gang

Who was the Apple Dumbling Gang? Aside from the Disney flicks starring Don Knotts, they are also a band of thuggish Seattle Grandmothers that know their way around a kitchen, Washington's Own Apple Dumpling Gang

The Apple Dumpling Gang 1975
Three orphaned siblings are forced upon confirmed bachelor Donovan (Bixby) in a 19th century boom town of Quake City, CA. After an earthquake shakes the area, the children find a large gold nugget worth tens of thousands of dollars. But their newfound wealth is causing more problems than it's solving, so they agree to "give" the gold to two bumbling outlaws (Knotts & Conway). But they only way they can get the gold is to steal it from the bank vault where it's being held for safe keeping.

The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again 1979
Amos and Theodore the two bumbling outlaw wannabees from The Apple Dumpling Gang are back. They are trying to make it on their own. When they arrive at the town they are going to, all sorts of things go awry. They accidentally subdue the town's legendary lawman, Wooly Bill Hitchcock thus enraging him into tracking them down. They also are accused of bank robbery. And they "enlist" in the army, and burn down the fort. Amid all this the army is beseiged by someone stealing their supplies.

Apple crates from paradise

Apple orchards are paradise. What else is there to say?

Crab Apples

defined not by taste, color, season or genetic marker a crab apple is any apple with a diameter of under 2 inches. It is one of the simplest segregations devised by man in pomology. No subjectivity, no feasance, no deliberation. It is sacrosanct in a universe of few such things.

Psychedelic Apple

Formed in London in 1968, Apple led by lead guitarist Rob Ingram and vocalist Denis Regan recorded only one album during their short tenure, but what an album it is. Repertoire Records has compiled all 12 tracks from the original lp along with both sides of the two singles the band released on Larry Page's Page One Records, a total of 16 tracks and 52 minutes playing time of pure, unadulterated classic British psychedelic rock. An apple tasted breifly...


Import reissue of the legendary psychedelic band's rare 1969 album includes the original sleeve & four bonus tracks, 'Let's Take A Trip Down The Rhine' (Single Mix), 'Buffalo Billycan' (Single Mix), 'Doctor Rock' (Single Mix) & 'The Otherside' (Single Mix). This is a lost treasure of psychedelia. Currently, the original vinyl is very, very rare and, of course, very expensive.
