"Took Ya Momma Nine Months To Make It" Sour Cream Apple Pie

 


"It Took Ya Momma Nine Months To Make It"

Apple Sour Cream Pie

Alright, man...  It's taken me forever and a day to get to this freaking scrumptious pie. I love this pie for a myriad of reasons, and my number one is that it's just plain f'in good. : ) 
Today however, has been a different story. It just seems ick.. it's taken me forever to get anything done. I've taken my meds... blech.. they make everything kind of grey but I'm not trying to kill myself or anything so I'm guessing this is an improvement, heh. 
I've knocked over shit, spilled everything, stepped in it, stepped on it, broken it, dropped it... You fucking name it.. *sigh* I'm just going to hope for pretty pink and blue thoughts and bake a pie. My mother would smile in the Hereafter at a freshly made apple pie. So why not, instead of dwell on all the shit that makes me sad...I'll make a pie. And then give half of it away like I did with the strawberry cuz it's NOT going to be a productive and theraputic blog if I end up eating the whole pie.... I will stop now.. On to PIE MAKING!

 OMG - *insert* FUCK -FUCK-FUCK - here.
I drop my french bread pizza and pie crust on the floor. Well, the dogs got a french bread pizza and my pie crust landed wha... ? wha... ? Tinfoil up. Score. Crisis - barely averted (cuz I really wanted that french bread pizza)
Alright, new topic.. Figured I'd show ya'll a picture of my Mother and Grandmother at Stonehenge with me, lol. I'm sure they'll both get a kick up there over this one. And yes, I really am @ Stonehenge.

There's me squinting like hell. 
But as usual, I digress.

Chop 3 cups of peeled apples. Cut and slice however you want.
Make Sour Cream Filling for pie 
Pour filling over apples : )

"Vanilla Heart-Attack Shaped Cake"

Eat at Your own Risk! (lol) Yummo! I really can't stop gushing about this cake, ya'll. Literally... they had to keep it away from me so I wouldn't sleep eat it, and give myself a heart attack from eating it. And, by the way - every piece was worth every palpitation. (don't worry, I only got about two pieces of this cake - it was so good everyone else wanted some, haha) Alrighty - Let's get to it..  First, get your ingredients together and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Then whisk your dry ingredients together. This takes place of actually having to buy cake flour. It's a short cut I use, but you can purchase cake flour if you want to, it's your life - however this saves you a bundle of time without having to purchase the flour and gives you a discount plus an even texture throughout the cake.  Start getting the wet ingredients together. Eggs, Sugar, Butter, Vanilla, & Crisco... YES - another recipe with Crisco... ...

"Ya Don't Have To Be From Tara" Collard Greens

My friend, Tara, and I had an interesting conversation about where her name came from, and she seemed genuinely fucking surprised that I had any knowledge of Tara (the majestic house from "Gone With The Wind"). And, I really don't blame her. Where we live you're more apt to see sand cranes, piers, and palm trees held up by sticks than you will see majestic southern homes with huge columns. That's where huge columns came from by the way...  Or America's obsession with putting columns up everywhere rather. The movie inspired people everywhere to embrace the south in their soul, throw up some columns, put on a bandanna, and make some collard greens. Now, I'm not even sure collard greens were even in "Gone With The Wind" but they are quintessentially southern none the less. I am from a super small town where if there weren't collard greens on my Granny's table at least three times a week then the world had probably gone to hell in a hand b...
