Culinary Adventures

We've made 4 apple cakes from my friend Margaret from Boston's amazing recipe. She gave me that recipe when I was pregnant with Benici. I disgraced myself with it at home group, slathering it with this custard that she served beside the cake, in a little ceramic pitcher that was still warm. We made two for folks who just had babes, one star-shaped one for our neighbors, and of course one for us to devour.

Also, we made chocolate chip cookies as a way of saying goodbye to our Halloween candy. Each kid had to offer their most chocolatey best pieces for the greater good. They turned out crazy chewy but yummy (especially with a mug of decaf.)
