MY DUMPLINS'

 A couple of weeks ago I post about a day at the lake and featured my apple dumplings at the end of the post I made that weekend. Several of you asked for the recipe...so you ask and you shall receive kids. This was the first I made them in several years. The recipe was my grandmothers. She would often prepare this apple dumpling recipe for us, often ready to take out of the oven just as we would arrive at her house. I can still remember the wonderful aroma as we'd come in the door. And this is the perfect time of year to make them while apples are in their peak.  Why stop eating at this point right?

Ingredients-

1- 1/2 cups sugar, divided

1 cup water

4 TBS butter, divided

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg each

6, medium to large apples, peeled and cored

Homemade or store bough pastry for double-crust pie

Preheat oven to 375. For syrup, place 1 cup sugar, water, 3 tablespoons butter and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes; remove from heat.

Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 21x14-in. rectangle; cut into 6 squares. Place an apple on each square. Fill center of each with 4 teaspoons sugar and spice mixture,  and 1/2 teaspoon butter. Moisten edges of crust with water; bring up corners over apples, pinching edges to seal. Place in an ungreased 13x9in.baking dish.

Pour syrup around apples. Now this is where you can relax and have a gin or three. After all, here is always time for a cock-a-tail. Bake until golden brown and apples are tender, about 45 minutes should do it. Serve warm by themselves or give a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Delicious!!!!! Besides, you have the New Year coming to make resolutions about losing weight, and eating right... blah.... blah..... blah.

And I know that Cali Boi and a few others may have felt slighted by the title...so for them I present other dumplings.

 And Happy Hump Day  kids!!

RISE AND GRIND....

 .....it's Hump Day!!!!

I figured, wish your readers a extra special hump day, after all. It's not as depressing as say Monday, but not as exciting as a Friday! I and my cakes wish you a great day! Go in peace dears.

TODAY IN CHUCKLES

Apparently my personal assistant ,Buster Bolfig Borghese thinks we're going to India. Isn't he cute?  Should we break the news to him?

Meanwhile at the Woods Campground I came upon this sign.

Speaking of camping....

Maybe Glinda will come to the rescue...

With me, it's only a matter of time before we head south. Have you men ever wondered how to get the right shoe measurement? 

And this is just plain gross.

Today's laughs were brought to us by...

Enjoy and be in good health.

HAPPY HUMP DAY to all! The week is almost over.....
I feel like I have no time to read all the lovely blogs this week like I want to. We have a HUGE visit on Thursday at Bloomingdale's that we have been preparing for all week,so I have been working a little later. And at the end of the week ,the Mistress is going to be 38 years young on Saturday,so I don't know how I feel about that yet. As long as I don't look it ,I guess. I wonder what the Boy-Toy has in mind.......
Hope you all are having a great day!
