Had my usual response to feeling down and useless, and that was OMG MUST BAKE. Thus, apple crisp happened. Because I was indecisive, ended up cobbling together a couple recipes I found online.

Apple part was 3 small granny smith apples (needed to get used, they were old), 1 large granny smith apple, and 1 large...heck if I know. It was pinkish. A Jazz, maybe? Cut into slices and then the slices into chunks. Mixed them with a handful of chopped dried apricots, 1/2 c sugar, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, about 2 T lemon juice and 2 T orange juice, and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Topping was 2 packets instant oatmeal, 1 cup flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, a small package of chopped hazelnuts, and 1 stick of butter, melted, all mixed together until forming crumbles. Apple mix went into a sprayed 9x13 pan, poured on topping, breaking up the larger crumbles and spreading it evenly. Drizzled on just a little maple syrup. Baked about an hour at 350F. Really turned out well, nice with ice cream and whipped cream. Not runny or liquid at all, and had a real carmel apple thing going for it.

Not much other than that, other than an all-day headache (argh), and managing another couple levels for Wynn in the evening. Oh, and today in spnland I learned I fail at FML. FML. Har. :p Okay, so one made me eyeroll at it, don't tell anyone shhhhhhhhhhhh. But the rest were good.

JUST TODAY AND THEN TOMORROW IS THURSDAY EEEEEEEEEE. BOYS HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU. Please let there be good brother moments, and not too much heartbreakings.

That sounds awesome! I want to make apple crisp now. I'm making these (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v415/wearbrown/084.jpg) this week for a friend's birthday. I'm excited, even though mine won't turn out half as pretty as those.
