Fall and baking

Fall weather is here even tho today's forecast is to be 83 degrees.  Our nights are in the 50's and such great sleeping weather!  Fall means for me baking and cooking comfort food.  Yesterday's fare was apple pie and homemade noodles and chicken.  So nice to have the oven on and not be miserably hot.  I haven't decorated much for fall yet but it's on my list, grandchildren are grown now so it really isn't the same with no little ones around.  Washington is at a standstill and all of them are just such an embarrassment.  Come election time we need to get rid of them all, get some people in there that aren't on the take and actually care about our country and not themselves. So much for that! Anyway it's a glorious Kansas day, nice breeze and full sun, doesn't get any better than that....unless we were in Colorado.  Working on some Christmas gifts is taking up most of my free time, it will be here before we know it!  I found this 12" pie pan at a thrift shop and it makes the best crust!  Egg wash on top crust for ohso yummy flavor.  My noodle recipe comes from a dear aunt and they melt in your mouth.  Some friends gifted us with the apples from their trees and the pie and applesauce were the outcome.. Used my grandmothers ricer for the applesauce and it does a great job.  Thankful Thursday
