Good day to you, Miss Pippin...ya done good...)

Did you know that George Washington's favorite apple was the Albemarie Pippin...also called a Newton? It is the oldest commercially grown native apple in North America..

Sooooo....what this means, of course, is that a Pippin was the apple in George's eye, even when our country was young...and today, George W. is the apple in Pippin's eye...and, we're glad she's shared the view.

I hope you have a most wonderful day...thank you, again...)))))))))

Speaking of that Pippin apple......usually, 'store-bought' frozen fruit pies that you bake...you know, "for that just-baked, homemade taste" (ha!).....taste just like, well, 'store-bought' frozen fruit pies. :)

HOWEVER, if there is a Sam's Club in your area, there is a "Fresh Pippin Apple Pie" that they carry that is so darn close to real homemade I buy it often, keeping one in the freezer most of the time for a last-minute dessert. They're good, honest!

Morning, jw - Pip, hello again!
