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:

old lady
dear blog,
i sort of feel like an old lady today because:
1. my friends fiance asked me for a ride to work like you would ask an older family friend or an aunt or something (touching, but nevertheless it made me feel old).
2. my sisters' friend has been hanging around with us and i am 10 years older than her.
3. i have to take off my glasses to read or look at the computer.
4. i make an excellent pie crust (i feel like this is something only grandmas are good at).
5. my weekend plans are to finish my library book, and finish watching "my fair lady" and "the kennedys"
6. boston calls my sisters carly, maddie and nicole with the glasses, and he calls me "sister dowd".
7. i got 3 pieces of mail today. all of which were wedding related. plus there are currently TEN wedding announcements on my fridge for weddings that will take place in the next 3 weeks. WHAT? (this does not make me feel old, i just thought i'd throw it in there to see if you were paying attention).
love,
rochelle
p.s. if you've never watched prison break, DO IT.
