'OCTOBERFEST'

October is a great month, clear, crisp weather , colorful leaves

and points the way to winter, many people have it as their favorite month,

as did Joan Nagy. The colorful roadside markets with pumpkins, apples,

indian corn are inviting.

Fall brings memories of father. Daddy made wine. He made wines

with rose petals, dandelions, honeysuckle and elderberries. Dad was

good at selecting edible wild plants to make various dishes to eat. He

made wild mushroom soup but we all made him eat the first dish out of the

pot. Toadstools did not make good soup.

Here is a favorite recipe for Spicy Apple Twist:

2 large apples, core and pared, sliced into 8 wedges:

1-1/2 cups sifted flour, 1 tsp salt, ½ cup shortin., cold

water , a splash or two, 1/3 cup melted butter, ½ cup sugar, , dusting

of cinnamon, more water. Take apple wedges, set aside, mix everything

that looks mixable, stirring with fork, until dough holds together enough

to flatten, do so to make a ½ inch thick flat floured 16 x 10 inch

rectangle, cut out 16 strips, wrap strips around the apple wedges, place

onto a pan, brush with whatever is left of the mix, splash more water,

bake in 450 degree hot oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Eat warm or cold, plain of with a good flavored whipped cream.
