#occupy wall street

There was an Occupy Wall Street demonstration today neaby and a few hundred people were there with all kinds of wonderful homemade signs. Lots of people drove by, laying on their horns, giving thumbs up, waving in support. Who knows, maybe they will be out there with signs next time. I sure hope so.

apple time

A library friend gave me a big bag of Rhode Island Greening apples from her tree. I've made apple crostata, a recipe from Barefoot Contessa. I like how you just heap the sliced apples onto the dough, toss on the crumb topping and fold up the edge. No pan to fit the dough into, no pre-baking, just easy and delicious.
