apple pie

dear blog,

i watched a couple of episodes of "mad men" the other day and so i was feeling very 1960's housewife and i thought i would make an apple pie from scratch. this was weird because 1. i made it for jessica's summer solstice party and i didn't need to make something nearly as involved as a double-crust pie (its WAY more involved than it looks) and 2. i don't even really like pie. buuut nevertheless, i made it. i used this recipe and i cooked it for the minimum amount of time because i was running late, but i definitely would have cooked it longer because the apples were pretty underdone. but, it looked BEAUTIFUL:

 i would definitely recommend a warm slice a la mode. yummmy (i think pie is growing on me...)

love,
rochelle

p.s. ariel took loads of pictures at jessica's lovely summer solstice party and she happened to capture this lovely moment in time:

i literally canNOT stop laughing everytime i look at this picture...
