Pie Talk #28: Crunchy Apple Pie

Hello from New York City! Which two days ago looked like this

And as of yesterday? You would not even know it had rained. I wondered aloud whether all the rain would wash some of the grime off the streets and subways, an idea met with, “But it also washes UP a lot of grime.” Point taken. I think we can agree that it is not a good idea to wade through subway standing water, my god

Speaking of not being in a flood, I spent time last week in the Mojave Desert. As Sarah and I discussed on the most recent episode, the desert has a way of smalling you and that’s a good thing

That becoming a movie star thing I mention in the audio? That’s here. Also, on video

My copy of The Silver Palate Cookbook, in two pieces, cover long gone

So many Marthas!

Wedding cake I made my daughter using a Martha Stewart buttercream recipe

Bonus mother-of-the-bride shot
