Celebrating the Beginning of Autumn in a Healthy Way!!! An Apple a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away!!!

Apples, apples, apples everywhere!

Everywhere we go we see apples...in trees, in markets and in cooked dishes. Everyone has them but us.

Along comes a family drive with the FurBabies and we passed Osage produce market. Inside, a bushel of apples for 12 bucks!

Our next stop was Barber's Orchard near Waynesville, NC

Off to the RV we headed with our new purchase. We filled the tub with vinegar and water and a bushel of apples.

I grabbed a paring knife, vegetable peeler and my nakiri. Time to slaughter some apples!

While I was wading through the apples, Mama got out what she needed to make applesauce. She had to cook several pots full of apples to get them done and it took several hours. But, we worked as a team and got it done.

Several of our neighbors got still hot applesauce as gifts. Our freezer was filled. I eat a lot of oatmeal and I have recently started putting some of the homemade applesauce in it. Delicious! It reminds me of our time in Ecuador when we had tons of produce available.

I know that once we obtain a home we will be canning and putting up veggies/ fruits. I can't wait for that to happen! Meanwhile, While it does take a lot of teamwork and skill, we did manage to prove that even in an RV this small, it is possible to make your own food. And it is delicious!

25lbs of Culled Gala's for $12.00...All cleaned and processed in our RV. It's Awesome and Smells Like Fall in Here! If it would only cool off outside it might feel like fall instead of Summer in Florida!

The Bowen Knot - Shamrock Rating System

One Shamrock: This indicates the worst service possible. If awarded, it means we would never EVER use the service again. If it was a food establishment the food was barely editable. This means a complete fail with little to no redeeming features. We will never go there ever again.

Two Shamrocks: This is a service that we might consider using again to give it a second chance. But, the experience that we had would normally cause us to award one shamrock if not for some key redeeming features. If it was a food establishment the food was okay, but still sub-par. We didn't like the food. Serious room for improvement exists.

Three Shamrocks: Normal middle of the road service. We might have had some bad or some good but they were offset somewhat. This is service we would use again but we will look for a better provider. If it was a food establishment the food was good. We like it and will return. There might be room for things to get better but it is still a decent meal.

Four Shamrocks: Great service. This is a definitive repeat for us. We like a lot about the service and recommend it. If it was a food establishment the food was excellent. We liked it a lot. We like the place enough to return frequently. There are very few detractors.

Five Shamrocks: Outstanding service. This is service that treats us above and beyond what we think we deserve. We consider this what we would want to find all the time and what we hope all service providers would want to obtain. If it was a food establishment the food was perfect. No issues whatsoever. We loved it and would eat there everyday.
