Diary Entry:

-Granny Smith apples, cleaned, cored, thinly-sliced with peel on
-Cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, allspice powder, clove powder, brown sugar, stevia powder
-Butter substitute
-Meyer lemon juice
-Pie pan, deep-dish
-Pie crust protector
-Whole-wheat pastry crust
-French vanilla bean gelato

There is nothing that makes me happier than salted caramel cake pops...but apple pie continues to run a close second. Carnival funnel cakes, anything dusted with confectioners' sugar, southern-style pickle chips, Jalapeno, kettle-fried, potato chips and Jack-in-the-Boxes' curly fries are another reason for joy.

I saw a "Girls Behaving Badly" episode where a personal trainer had to "whip" a rebellious character into shape. He, unfortunately, didn't look like Molto Mario, and promise her a giant buffalo filet mignon, cooked rare, with garlic-mashed potatoes, lemon-peppered, grilled broccolini, followed by homemade apple pie.
