twilightpony | Apple Brown Betty

To the host goes the spoils, so for us, the pot luck supper did not end last night. My friends did take home some of the left-overs, but we were left with most of the apple brown betty, carrot salad, hay, carrot and beet casserole, carrot cake, three bean pumpkin bisque and vanilla oat swirl ice cream. With so many desserts on the menu last night, there wasn't much left in the way of casserole, bread or the bisque. So for breakfast we polished off the apple brown betty with vanilla oat swirl ice cream, in lieu of whipped cream.

Applejack had left the tray she'd used to serve the apple brown betty on so I went over to Sweet Apple Acres to return it after breakfast. When I got there I learned that they'd been woken in the night by howling timber wolves. That means one thing: zap apple season.

While I was there I helped carry baskets to the zap apple orchard for a few hours. The baskets would be better described as wooden tubs. They're heavy. That's to keep them from blowing around during the electrical storms that are due to blow in from the Everfree starting tomorrow. At the moment the zap apple trees are still leafless.
