BAKED CINNAMON APPLES

4 baking apples (Rome, Beauty, Golden Delicious) 4-8 tbsp. granulated or packed brown sugar 4 tsp. butter 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon Core apples and pare 1 inch strip of skin from around middle of each apple or pare upper half of each to prevent splitting. Place apples upright in ungreased baking dish. Place 1-2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon butter and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in center of each apple. Pour water (1/4 inch deep) into baking dish. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees until tender when pierced with fork, 30-40 minutes. (Time will vary with size and type of apples.) Spoon syrup in dish over apples several times during baking if desired. 4 servings. I have some of those little dishes you put the apple in, it has a center post that you insert or press the apple on.

Sounds yummy.  Make one for me!

Deb...Thank you for answering my help. I will make them tomorrow. I can cook but I don't really know how to bake, DD  (one in NY) is a chef she used to make all kind of breads and pastry.

She used to cook and bake for us and I used to clean the kitchen after. She makes all fancy things. She worked for Westchester Country Club in NY for few years, anyway.

How is everybody today? 

Makratz

Must be nice to have a daughter that is a chef. 

I had a nice weekend with out the kids.  They are home now.  They went clamming and broughtme home steamers.  Tomorrow I will make some chowder or as we say in Bawston, Chowdah.

I hope you all had a nice day too.

kbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug, where are you? 

Not calling for Foots yet because its still early there.

kbugmom

Had a good day with the girls. Got them home a few hours ago. Been getting things done since have to leave at by 5:30 am to get scan. I am feeling pretty good about it. Get results on Thursday and also get my zometa. So hopefully I can get to bed before to late. I seldom sleep much before I go to appt's.

Makratz

I know what you mean.  I have antianxiety meds to take if I need them.  Good luck with your scan.  What kind are you having done?  Try and get some sleep.  I will be thinking of you.

sheila888

Kbug.... Sending you big <HUGS> take them with you tomorrow

I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Sometimes I think going for tests, waiting fot the results is more draining than the chemo itself. Glad you have a good day today.

kbugmom

Thank you all. Huggssss . It is a pet scan.

Makratz

I thought so.   I hope it goes well for you.  I have never had one.

kbugmom

I am believing it is better. Shrinkage would be good.

sheila888

Had bone scan, muga scan, cat scan of this that, but never a pet scan. Maybe I did ????

Makratz

When was your last pet scan?  Does it shrink? Do you have measurements from the last time?  You don't have to answer if you don't want to.  I'm curious.  I always think I should be having more tests done when I hear others are.

kbugmom

Last scan about three months ago. I had a new tumor on lung and some of lung mets grew . One liver met grew lil. A few more bone mets. But God is so in charge I stand on his word and he does not lie. Over the past four years some shrink a lil then grow . But bc is not of God so it needs to leave us all alone.

Makratz

I'm happy to hear they shrink.  I will pray that they shrink for you.  Yes, I wish it would leave you alone, I wish it would leave all of us alone.  Best of luck tomorrow.

kbugmom

I am praying and going with a okay mind set.

Makratz

That's all you can do.  Please let us know how it goes for you.  I know you don't get the results til the end of the week, so we will be here to help you pass the time.

kbugmom

Yes we will play and chat away

Makratz

Sounds good to me.

kbugmom

We are a loving bunch. Sad for those who have no one or want no one in there lives.

Makratz

I can't imagine not wanting someone in my life.  I thank God for my BCO friends everyday.
