A week ago, we took a daytrip down to Rhode Island and went apple picking. The day was absolutely gorgeous and the company was excellent. Our friends Koos and Stef just bought a place in Smithfield RI which apparently is a the apple orchard section of Rhode Island (betcha didn’t even know Rhode Island had apple orchards!) We picked a bag of apples, ate a few along the way* then went back to their house where they had organized quite a feast. When we finally left to go home, we were so full we practically had to roll ourselves out to the car. Imagine roasted chickens, vegetables, soup, apple pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins and lots of other yummy goodness.

* Many of you know that I have this really weird allergy to fruit skin. Well, apparently, when you pick apples straight off the tree, whatever the thing that I am allergic too is, it doesn’t exist yet. It gradually builds up and by about the 3rd or 4th day I can no longer eat them uncooked. Weird huh!
