This recipe is really, really good. I can't remember where I got it, but have made it several times. It isn't spicy hot - just flavorful. This serves like a fruit crisp, not like a pie.
350 degrees for 1 hr
Serves 6
Buttered (or non-stick spray) 9-10 inch pie plate or casserole dish
1 1/2 quarts sliced, peeled tart apples (4 large or 6 medium)
1/c c chopped, roasted and peeled green chiles (I use Poblano - 2 will do it. To roast either put under the broiler or on the grill, turning frequently until they blister/scorch. Let cool until you can handle them, then with your hands, peel the thin skin off.)
1/2 c white sugar
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
2 T lemon juice - use 1 T with fresh apples
1 c packed brown sugar
3/4 c flour
1/2 c butter
1/2 c walnuts or pecans
Toss apples, green chiles, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and juice together and mound in pie plate.
Cut together butter, brown sugar and flour together until crumbly. Then evenly pack over apples.
Sprinkle with nuts and then press slightly to hold.
Bake for 45 minutes, then cover with foil and bake remaining 15 minutes.
Little tid-bits from the daily hum-drum of life ... snippets that would otherwise most likely be forgotten.

Recent Titus Conversations
2 days ago: "Mommy, I can't go pee because the horse is going pee right now."
Yesterday: "Mommy, I can't go pee in the toilet because the pig is going pee right now."
Going to bed last night:
"Mommy, the horse is taking my blankets."
Me: "Horse, get out of Titus' bed and go back to the barn."
Titus: "The horse went out and got the buggy and opened the house door and went out and then put the buggy in the grass and went in the barn."
About 30 seconds later : "Mommy, the horse is taking my blankets."

Bike Riding in the Driveway
March 30,2010. Titus picked up Isabele's hat and put it on. At least I know it will fit Isabele for another couple years. Isabele was watching Titus so intently and he was nicely telling her how to ride her tricycle. They were so cute.
Mimicking her big brother.
Follow the leader.
Rain
It was raining the other day - no big surprise for Springtime. Titus and Isabele needed a walk - so they donned their new raincoats and we went for a short walk and puddle splash.

Trying out the spinning wheel.
Maybe he'll be a bit like Uncle Caleb. I do hope that Titus learns to spin and knit and fix things and cook and dig holes and plant flowers and use a chainsaw and build a house and fix cars ... I love that my brother knit a sweater, complete with cables, for himself.

Don't
... water the windows.
... water your sister.
... water the car, unless Dad is washing the car with soap.
... hit your sister.
... throw your toys.
... cut that.
... write on that.
... take that away from her.
... get any more food out.
... wash the floor with that rag.

I feel like all I say some days is DON'T.
