Many years ago, there was a commercial jingle that sang “We love baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet.” Do you remember that? It still plays over and over in my head. As I recall, it was about American favorites and traditions.
I have to admit, there was absolutely nothing that compared to spending a Saturday afternoon attending a local baseball game, eating hot dogs and drinking a mixture of soft drinks. Saturday nights were spent “cruising” in our cars which, as often as not, were Chevys.
Then there was the apple pie; truly considered a family tradition. Why, you couldn’t have a Sunday meal without apple pie and then the nightly kitchen raids for the leftovers. It was indeed all part of growing up in “the good ole USA.”
I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by nostalgia as I read IntuitiveHealer’s Memories of Apple Pie. I thought about my own precious grandmother peeling apples, rolling out and shaping the crust with her fingers, cutting the slits in the top and slipping the pie in the oven to bake. When the pie was finished, we would sit down at the table to enjoy a hot piece of pie and just talk. I don’t remember what we talked about, but I do remember the time she spent making her house a home.
Just like IntuitiveHealer, many of us never learned how to make apple pie from scratch or we simply do not have the time in this fast paced world, but we can still enjoy a solitary moment of divine pleasure or recreate the family setting by purchasing a premade apple pie. Better yet, she has provided us with videos of step by step instructions on how to make an apple pie. Wouldn’t it be fun to grab a friend, family member or even your spouse and venture back into yesteryear by making your own slice of happiness? Just don your apron, cruise on over to Memories of Apple Pie, and let the games begin!
