Over the Top Apple crisp from the book cool Sweets & Treats to eat by Lisa Wagner
5-6 granny smith apples (peeled & de-cored)
juice of 1/2 a lemon I put 1/8 of cup of lemon juice instead
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 teaspoon
1/4 tsp salt (omit if you are using all purpose flour)
3/4 cup flour
1 stick of butter, cut into 8 pieces of 4-8 tablespoons of butter
1. Preheat Oven to 350 degreees
2. slice the pealed and cored apples in the baking pan. They might be highter than the top of the pan. don't worry. They will shrink as they bake.
3. Strain lemon from juice & mix it with water. Pour over the mixture evely over the apples
4. Put rest of ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use your clean hands to rub the butter into the dry indgredients.
5.Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples but don't mix the two together.
6. Cover the pan loosely with aluminuim foil and put it in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes & remove foil. Bake for another 35 minutes, or until topping is brown.
We made this recipe this weekend. It was okay, it was missing something a spice. do you have an apple crisp recipe? check yours and find out what we missed by following the recipe. it was easy, it was quick to make with kids, but missing something.
The person that figures out what its missing gets fresh rosemary from me. No joke.

Monday Resturant Review
Okay, I am impressed while being made sick by raw hamburger from In and Out Burger Resturant chain. They are based in California. Let's give some background information first on the situation.
Its Saturday night, we skipped going to the diamondbacks game. We gave away $200.00 worth of tickets and parking pass to a friend. I hope they know what a freakin' deal they got. My Dh decided to "do something" nice since he had been acting like a jack rabbit who didn't get any for weeks. So, we order our food. One #1 double cheese burger combo; one #2 cheeseburger combo w/o the special mayo sauce with onions lettuce tomatoes, ketchup and mustard; two #3 burger combos. We chit chat beating around the bush of subject matter that might cause a fight in public. They call our order number #22. My Dh trying to redem himself of bad behavior gets our order. We make sure everyone has the right burger. We begin to dig in and eat our grub. I get this weird taste in my mouth, like I have raw meat without blood. Okay, let's look at burger. To my shock, my burger is only cooked half way through. I immediately put down the burger, ask Dh to take a peek. He comes to the same conclusion. We decide to say something to staff expect the staff seems overwhelmed already with complaints and having to redo orders. My Dh decides they already know about the mistake, we will just take to a higher level.
After putting my kids to bed including my over 40 year old DH. I am in full food poisoning mode. I can't sleep, or read. My stomach track is in full revolutionary mode. So, I look up the In and Out Burger corperate offices. I find contact us. I fill in my contact information with a very smart mouthed letter to which I referred to vampyres and in all; me not being one etc. This morning, while getting half of my family ready for the last baseball game of the season (its sunday while I type this), my phone starts ringing its "Super massive blackhole" by the muse ring tone. No id, Hmm, I took the chance by answering. It was the actual corperate customer service office, checking on me health status. I informed them that it went from the typical cramps and nausea to diaherria from eatting raw meat. I knew if I went to the doctor's office they would tell the me the same thing I knew bland food, liquids, lots of rest and no excerise. They generally seem to care and where very displeased that a customer ate a raw burger.
This is definitely, a change from previous corporate attitude of other food chains. Do I want anyone fried? No. I just don't want anymore raw burgers served.
I was disappointed in the food but not by the response of the corporate head quarters. Good job!
Will I will go back to In and Out Burgers..probably give a fews of recovery..

Sunday Quotes..
They come from the House of Night book series by the Cast authors. They are a mother and daughter team. They are kickin' good.
The book "Marked"
p. 230 concerning friendships
"Value them, they are pearls of great price."
p. 236 Concerning yourself and changes in your life
"Your are old beyond your year, Zoeybird (replace this with your name). Believe in yourselfe and your will find a way. But remember, darkness does not always equate evil, just as light does not always brings good."
When I read these pasages like a hunger tiger eatting its prey. Lights bulbs, and uh ah moments hit me like lighting hitting a tree. I am still standing but with a new outlook. Thank you Cast family.
Awaiting book two to arrive at the library.
