Pecking order revisited
Mid has appropriated Ernie's throne. Poor Clovis - he always wanted to be the feudal overlord...

Apple crisp
We're trying out a recipe for an America's Test Kitchen survey. This one is for an apple crisp made in a skillet. It looks good, but pretty basic.
I guess that they want to offer it with everyday ingredients so that it won't be too great a challenge for us home cooks. Still, if we make it again - not for the survey - think that I would definitely add some more spices & probably some raisins or berries or something. Will update how it comes out.
*It came out good. The apples were a little mushier than we would have liked & there was too much topping. The taste was nice though and Dad said he thought it was good enough to go on the menu of our fantasy restaraunt "El Lago Verde" (we might have to rethink that name now that the water meal has been eliminated from the little lake)

The slow cook
Why do they have the DMV thermostat set to high broil? Seriously, we're all going to be grumpy and look awful enough in those photos.
I don't know if the poor people working there had it jammed up so high because they're forced wear thin, nylon-looking outfits or because the system was just plain broken (no analogies to the gov - I mean that, really) Anyhow, I am supposedly sharp enough to drive for another 8 years. Maybe by then it will be fixed? If you are going in, I would recommend avoiding the E Market St. branch. Good Luck!
