So I don’t know if you can tell, but IT’S FALL! Well in Southern California where I am. For some of you it is probably already winter or has been cold for a while. Either way, I am in Temecula, so I am going to talk about Temecula. Let me start by saying in the summer and up to about a week ago, it was hotter than the devil’s ass-crack. I wish I was being facetious, but I have electric bills which can validate my claim from my attempts to keep it under 80 degrees in my house. Moot point, but I am just leading into my excitement that I am sitting here in my all-tim- favorite outfit typing away slightly chilly. Any guesses on my favorite outfit? I have talked about it before…….Yep, that’s right. Hollister baggy sweat pants with an oversized Barbells for Boobs hoodie I won last year. This hoodie is the shiznit. I swear I could wear it in the arctic, but I am not going to try. You should support the boobies. I sure do. It’s the right thing to do, so go check out their site.
I apologize if you are reading this second paragraph. Why you ask, because I subjected you to my random rants in the first one that have absolutely nothing to do with this recipe, or do they? That’s right, I am going to try and tie them together. Here goes my logic……I opened up with talking about the crappy heat and I exaggerated to make you feel all hot. Did it work? Probably not, but then I brought it back and talked about being all cozy in my sweats and how I could use my ridiculously comfortable hoodie in the arctic. Did you get cold? If not, you should have, so humor me and pretend you did. Pretending is good for us, it keeps us young and our imagination sharp. Off-topic but I think I just made a very important statement about life. Let go of some of the superficial crap we let get to us everyday, and just get back to being jovial and free spirited for a minute. Do you remember when we were kids? We had no cares in the world except climbing a tree, or when the next game of dodge-ball or red rover was. It was such a happier time.
I realize that I just threw a mind maze at your with the spaztastic topics I covered in one paragraph that made no sense in any language. Sorry but that is just how my brain works when I am typing. I will try and tie them together here. Ready? So I mentioned the arctic to make you cold, you pretended you were cold (’cause we are awesome and pretending is fun) and now you are going to go make this recipe to warm you up or to fill your house with the rich and smooth aroma of baking apples. So if it all works correctly, you went on a non-climate-controlled rollercoaster to make you want this recipe. If it didn’t work, you are just laughing your ass off trying to figure out how my brain works, which is ok too. Either way I made you smile. Now, go pay it forward. While I am at it too, once you are done reading and you are making this recipe, while it’s cooking, DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. Shut your phone off, close your email, forget about Facebook, and go outside and do something you haven’t in 10 years. Go climb a tree, skip up and down the block or just go for a walk in the park. You will be surprised at how amazing it feels, I promise. Then come back and tell me what you did and how this recipe made you happy when you were done. Please.
