I was really pleased with myself when I successfully baked an Apple Sharlotka this past weekend.The recipe is derived from Smitten Kitchen’s recipe. I used smaller apples and about 1/4 less sugar than the recipe calls for. I’m thinking of using brown sugar next time to see what that tastes like.
A note on the Hipstamatic App for iPhone: The app allows for “artsy” photos using various lens packs. It’s not free like Instagram but I like it.
Here some of my old photos using the app:
Happy 2012! I should have posted this on January 1st but…here we are.
Over the holiday break I visited my family in Seattle. It’s always fun to visit.
I had a good time eating, walking around the city, shopping, revisiting my favorite spots, etc..
