You know I've been thinking about buying a blender for a while now. We had received an Osterizer for a wedding gift (almost 50 years ago). It went through the 1972 flood/Hurricane Agnes, but survived. It cleaned up beautifully and I used the thing for a long time. But many moons ago, it finally bit the dust and seized up. And I haven't had a blender since then.
Anyway, I was down at Target yesterday to pick up meds. I was actually by myself (usually Rick and I go everywhere together) bc he was working outside. Walked around a bit and this blender jumped right into my arms! It was amazing! There was a woman standing next to me and I said, "Wow, did you see that blender jump into my arms?" She started laughing and said, "Husband issues??" And I said, "Well, whenever I buy something for the kitchen, he always asks me what I'm going to get rid of to even things out. I think I've gotten rid of my air fryer five times now!" Oh, she laughed at me. And sure enough, I brought the blender home, Rick asked me what I was going to get rid of and I told him, "The air fryer!" And even he knows that's a lie.
So here's the blender:
Some of you have read about me making Create-a-Crust Apple Pie. It's usually made in a blender, but I've been making it in my KA mixer. Well, I washed the blender and its accessories and decided to make the apple pie for Dear Richard. I had to justify my purchase somehow! So here's the pie:
A few days ago, Rick and I were browsing some of my PA Dutch cookbooks. And he asked me to make 3 desserts for him.

- CaC Apple Pie (see above!)
- Pineapple-Upside Down Cake
- Either a Milk Pie or a Vanilla Pie, he doesn't care which
