Pick a Peck of Apples

When the leaves turn gold, red, and orange, and the morning air is brisk with a chilly crispness, it's time to go apple picking. Here in New England it's not only a tradition, I think there might even be a law requiring all persons over the age of 2 to spend at least one hour each autumn picking apples.

In the spirit of following this tradition, me and two of my roommates went apple picking today.........each with a different group of people. We really should have discussed this before hand because we now have 87% of bushel sitting on our kitchen counter.

(If you have an apple recipe you'd like to share, this would be a really good time to do so.)

My favorite part of apple picking is that you get to taste test as you go, so you don't pick a peck of putrid pomes. And if you come across an apple you don't particularly like, well you just toss it on the ground. Now that's something you can't do in a grocery store. ;)
