rainy feelings are here again. it rained all day yesterday. all night last night, too. today light showers and a very cold santa ana wind took over.   

It was recital night last night. Older Sis and I went. It was her birthday, too! I made two of her favorite dishes for dinner. We ate before we left for the faculty piano recital. 

Thank God this one was much organized than the last one we went to. It started late and lasted for over two hours. We didn’t get home until almost 11 o’clock. By then I was tired and sleepy but managed to stay up until way past midnight to finish the report required for this morning’s class. You see, we are required to attend 3 concerts for the semester and with that, a report of the night’s performance with the show’s program and purchased ticket stapled to it - grade and attendance security.     

Class is at 9. I was up at 815. Got to school late – 920. Found out the teacher was not around yet – great! I also found out that the report was not due until next Saturday. Darn! Oh well. One more concert, one more report and fine! Finals is December 15. I don’t know yet which musical piece I will be asked to perform. We find out next Saturday.

We were dismissed earlier today. It was really cold outside. Walking to the parking lot I thought to myself that I am going to have some hot vanilla chai tea when I get home.

Walking up the front door, I heard Lucy bark. Foooofeeee! She was up last night waiting for me when I got home from the concert. She was upset last night. She had that “where are you goin?” look on her face. Older Sis being there upset her even more because it told her we were definitely going somewhere! Ahhh, if only they allow Foofees at concerts! 

I picked her up as soon as I opened the door. It was nice to get inside where it’s warm. I told Lucy I’m having some vanilla chai tea. Would she like some? She wagged her tail.

Apple Cobbler October 25, 2007

3057262135.jpgGirls, here’s the recipe for Apple Cobbler. I must’ve combined 2-3 other recipes…so basic, really!… to come up with my own! Thanks to Chris who baked some and made me fall in love with it! I had to bake one the very next day! 

My Apple Cobbler Recipe

2 Comstock More Fruit Apples & Cinnamon (geez! these things are kinda expensive!!! but I gotta have them… one other thing to tune myself out on when it’s time to pay hahaha :)  

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix, store brand is fine ( I use Stater’s)

1 cup chopped walnuts (get the big bag from Costco, it comes out cheaper that way!)

1 stick butter (for that extra yumminess!)

Preheat oven to 375.

Pour apple filling into a 9 1/2  x  9 1/2 dish

Combine cake mix and walnut. Pour over apple filling.

Cut butter into several serving sizes and dot cake mix with walnut.

Place in oven for 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown.

Serve warm.

For extra goodness and yumminess, serve with vanilla ice cream and drizzle chocolate syrup over.     

Add some more chopped walnuts, whipped cream, some cherries………start tuning out!
