Last weekend I got invited to an Apple Press party. My cube mate, Patrice, held it at her house in Tacoma. I picked up Kimberly and we drove down there mid day on Sunday. Tacoma looks nice. Patrice's neighborhood was adorable and reminded me of the East coast. The house are all older and look a little like New England homes with big yards in the front. Patrice had buckets of apples from her 2 trees in the backyard. Her brother and several other friends were there and together we cut, pressed and strained apple juice for hours. We ate German potato salad, macaroni salad, veggies and Bratwurst. Kids were carving pumpkins and dogs were running around. It was fun and very fall like.
I made an old fashioned Apple cake. It was pretty good. Very dense and moist. It would probably be good served warmed with a scoop of ice cream.
Really nice day and fun to be outside. Fall is here. I'm worried it will be gone too fast. High temp today... 48!
