Thanksgiving was spent in Yakima with my parents. I had a turbulent weather filled journey there the Sunday night before. The ferry ride actually started to make me seasick. The winds were making the seas very choppy. I was blasted with heavy rain till I hit Snoqualmie Pass where the rain turned to snow. Needless to say I was thankful to arrive in Yakima.
I've never been a fan of my home town. But damn do we grow wicked apples (and pears and hops)! While I was home I visited Johnson Orchards which is near by our home. I came home with boxes of apples and pears galore!

Now that I'm home to my island I've already started baking with and plan to juice these gems. I made Martha Stewart's Rustic Apple Tart from the Everyday Food cookbook(probably my most favorite cookbook!) last night for a dinner with friends. The tart was ruthlessly devoured.
