So, The Boyfriend and The Boyfriend’s Girlfriend have been working on some pretty new designs for FTHW. In the meantime I’d like to confess something to you. I didn’t eat a lot of jarred applesauce as a kid. I was spoiled, horribly horribly spoiled. The Uncle owned an apple orchard and The Grandparents froze foods allllll the time and would make enough applesauce for an entire year each fall. I’ve grown incredibly spoiled and eating applesauce out of a jar just doesn’t cut it anymore. I knew I needed to bring this to my daycare kids because their parents should know that EVERYONE SHOULD EAT FOOD THAT IS MADE FROM THE ACTUAL PRODUCT IT COMES FROM AND NOT FROM A JAR. BREAD DOES NOT COME FROM A BAG. APPLESAUCE DOES NOT COME FROM A JAR. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ARE NOT FROM CHIPS AHOY. I like to spoil them away from foods whenever possible (p.s. I love you, chips ahoy, I’m so sorry I ever said that about you.)
Applesauce is painfully easy, in fact, a couple years ago when I called The Dad and said “hey, remember how Gramma and Grampa used to make applesauce and freeze it? How do I do that?” to which he replied “Get some apples. Peel them and cut them up. Boil the piss out of them. Then mash them.” I have found applesauce to be best when you mix the kinds of apples. In my latest adventure I used only Granny Smith apples and it was so tart even I couldn’t eat it, and I love my applesauce to make your mouth pucker a little. So here is what I’m saying. Use a lot of tart apples, but use a couple sweet apples too. That’s the way to do it, trust me on this one.
Now, you don’t have to do it this way, but I heard this works to mash up your apples….
I might have used the Cuisinart, but you decide.

I wanna vote…
I vote BOTH!
And I am totally hoping that this was AFTER you cleaned the grossness out from under that hanging butt chair!

OMG You know it!! I put that on the LARGE list of things that need to be done every Friday. Also on that list is cleaning the walls around the table, cleaning the floor behind the table (when we mop stuff gunks up back there), dusting the baseboards, etc. etc. I know I’m really cleany, but honestly, I can’t be THAT bad, right? Other people would see THAT EVEN AFTER YOU SWEPT THAT FLOOR THERE WERE BIG CHUNKS OF FOOD EVERYWHERE. and EVEN AFTER YOU WIPED THAT TABLE OFF THERE WAS STILL HALF A KIWI IN ONE OF THE CHAIRS THAT HAD TO BE WIPED OUT EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD ALREADY PUT SANITIZER ON THE TABLE.
other people would see that right?
