Browsing freecycle for furniture or a new bicycle but found an alert: "Apples, apples, apples". I wrote back and the next afternoon we walked over with backpacks to fill. Unfortunately the owner wasn't there to thank, only his surprised neighbours and their supposedly angry sheepdogs ("DOWN DOGS" when we approached the gate seemed contradictory to a couple of apparently docile, maybe nosey animals)
Not sure what types these were - probably three different eating varieties. Just as good to cook with though (had a crumble for our dessert). This, coming after the trout caught by T which we ate, on Nigel Slater's recommendation with rosemary and bacon, meant our supper was pretty much entirely hand picked. And virtually free! Student life.
Downsides: Still haven't found a bike or a wooden table.
Now will probably spend excessive amount buying nice cheese to eat with apples for lunch.
Sauté apples in butter with a hint of lemon and a dash of cinnamon for perfect breakfast treat wither on buttered toast or pancakes.

Hi Thesaltwell. Love this blog.
ReplyDeleteI love to mix my stewed apples - both with a variety of apples, cooking and eaters, and with pears. Add some lemon juice and raisins and you have a healthy delicious bowl of something to eat at any time of the day.
