A Frozen Walk Around Ashokan Reservoir

Last weekend I went for an afternoon hike around the Ashokan Reservoirs. Before I got too far in, my battery died so I only got to take a few images. (And a bonus image from downtown Rhinebeck, NY)

Letterpress Printing

Earlier this week I was having new Business Cards printed at PrintIcon and loved the hand press so much that I took a quick iPhone video, and plan to shoot a real video there soon.

Apple Pie from Scratch

The apples I used in this post are from the ones I picked in NY State. As for the recipe, well there isn't exactly one, as I did it by taste and memory, but I will do my best to re-create it here. I adapted it from the SmittenKitchen where you can get full instructions as the base of what I made. What all this really means is you can't go wrong, its Apple Pie!

For the Filling:
A mix of 8 tart nicely sized apples
1.5 tablespoon juice and 1 teaspoon zest from 1 lemon
3/4 cups sugar (you can use brown sugar too)
2 tablespoons Flour
1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon ground Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract

If you are going to make the crust your self (of corse you are) check out this recipe and these instruction on how to do the lattice.
