Christmas List, Other Happenings

Decided that I would add a Christmas list here for family to see, and sent out a mass email to family and friends telling them the blog is here to see.

John is making a 'deep dish apple pie' tonight with crust that Leah left us, and the crust is not crisping up. It smells a little like it's burning, but it's still kind of gooey which is puzzling.

This week is advising week at school, I had to contact all of my advisees and try to make appointments to see them and get them registered for classes. I've heard from 7/10 of them today and I consider that a personal victory.

Called Grams in southern Cali this morning to make sure that she was safe from the wildfires, and she assures me that she and Grandpa and Duffy (the dog) are fine, though they are evacuating animals from the SD Wild Animal Park which is about 30 minutes away from their home. As we are planning to head there for Thanksgiving, I must say I've been a bit worried.

Information and avarice in one spot.

Amber, this is Leah, I just wanted to make sure that you know to cover the pie with tin foil until it's pretty much done and the crust will be done, then just take the tin foil off at the end and the crust will crisp up and when it does you just take it out. The tin foil should have a hole in the center of it to let steam out.

Hope it turned out... :)

It was still a little odd, but very tasty! I was telling John that we need ice cream, and he said he would have gone to get some if he had a car that was working...
