Fall Apple Season= Apple Crisp!

I made this up on the fly when I forgot the recipe. Tasted pretty good.

6 medium apples-- you're choice. They should be roughly 2 pounds total.
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c oats (quick cook or rolled, your choice)
1/2 packed brown sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c flour
4 tbsp cold butter
1/2 c white sugar

0. Go to the apple orchard and pick lotsa apples! :)
1. Peel your apples and cut them into slices at a thickness that you will enjoy.
2. Place apple slices in a bowl. Toss apples with lemon juice to prevent browning and just an added tang.
3. Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar.
4. In a separate bowl, mix white sugar with oats and flour.
5. Cut up butter into small cubes and toss with sugar-flour-oat mixture.
6. Pour apples into baking dish. You can use a square glass pan (8in*8in) or a 10in pie plate. Then pour the sugar-flour-oat-butter mix over the apples. Spread around to cover the apples.
7. Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

another reminder of India -- Egg Salad

When I was in India, there were hard boiled eggs EVERYWHERE!!! Maybe it was part of the British Invasion, maybe it was just because they were cheap and you could raise your own chickens fairly easily but our breakfast almost always included a hard boiled egg and some grain, either cous-cous or white bread.

So my suggestion to reflect my India experience at my Bagaicha home is to make egg salad sandwiches. Hard boil the eggs, slice them however you please. Mix with mayonaise and salt, cumin, and garam masala (if you have it). Spread it between 2 slices of bread and you have a Bagaicha Egg-Salad Sandwich.
