Friday Night

Well, here it is, Friday night. October 29,(I think.) 4 weeks since I broke my hip, and 22 years since Rick quit drinking. Quite different anniversaries, huh? I am so proud of my husband, still feeling so sorry for myself! I went to Wal Mart today. My wheelchair and motorized carts make it possible. I won't go anywhere if I think I might be gone long enough to have to go pee. It is a terrifying thought to have to go to the bathroom, and not be at home! Tomorrow I am gonna be without Rick for the best part of the day. Cody and Tim will be here, we'll get by. But it is kinda scary. I will probably spend most of the day watching movies~ wow~ what a change! (NOT) Hope Hallmark has some sappy movies that will capture my interest!!! At Wal Mart today the apples smelled fabulous!!!!! So, today it is a recipe for one of my favorites, and my family's too~ Apple Crisp, (or apple brown betty, as Peggy Hill said!)

what you need

6 large apples, cored, peeled and sliced (about 8 cups)

1/3 cup  firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 cup flour

1/2 tsp.  ground cinnamon

2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

1 cup  wheat and barley cereal flakes, lightly crushed

Make It

PLACE apple slices in 8-inch square baking pan. Mix sugar, flour and cinnamon in large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in cereal; sprinkle over apples. BAKE at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm.
