Spending my Saturday night watching historic home restoration shows and dreaming up new story ideas.
If you're interested in hearing what else I loved about this week, check out my substack:

Foodie Hot Take: Corn kernels do NOT belong in cornbread.
That is all.
Is it just me, or does starting a new book give you the same feeling as when you start a new season of a reality show and the entire cast is different? All the characters are different, and it takes 2-3 chapters/episodes to get into it and be comfortable with the characters.
Maybe it's just me.
Would love to be added as an author! @ashtosch.bsky.social

28.11.2023 15:24 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0You're right! I tend to slice my apples pretty thin so they aren't super crunchy. I have also pre-cooked the apples, so it's basically an apple jelly before going into the pies.
Experimental baking is so fun... but it can be so expensive π«
Yeah, the crust is the best part. Lots of crust with a little cinnamon/apple jelly part of the filling... soooo good!
