Thanks Moon, Sandy, James, et. al.

I made the pies last night and they were great!  I used canned biscuit
dough as I had bought 3 cans for fifty cents a while back..almost out
of date stuff.  I just saute'd the chopped apples in butter with some
sugar(brown and white), cinnamon, and cardamom, added some cornstarch
to thicken it, and then let the filling cool on a slanted cutting board
so all the excess juice ran out.   I smashed out the dough a bit, spooned the
apples to the center, folded it, crimped it with a fork, and fried it. 
MMMMMM

Last night was a test batch, I made 4 large pies from a huge Spokane Beauty 
apple.  DH and I had to split the pie.   He had one this morning and we'll 
have the others today or tomorrow.

Next time, smaller pies....

In a week or so, I should have a bushel of Arkansas Black apples to play 
with.  This is way better than making applesauce!

I thought they did have the questions in advance, no?
I just keep reading how Obama has been practicing for weeks, this week he is 
at some camp in Florida working with a McCain stand-in.  I just haven't seen 
any comments about McCain practicing.  Zip. He's kind of flat as a speaker 
and since Obama is more dynamic, I expect him to win.
I surely did not think he wasn't good at debating, though.  What could be 
asked that would get him to stuttering?  If McCain finds a chink in the 
armor, something he hasn't rehearsed, it will be a miracle, I think.  But 
whatever, we will know soon, right?
And isn't there another debate for John and Barack sometime next month?

The proposed act reads "at any one time."  If the buy $700B and sell $500B
they can tap your kids for another $200B loan, again and again.  Bernanke
mentioned earlier last week that he thought $800B would be a minimum for now
and another $400B real soon.  Gotta preserve those campaign donations at any
costs.
