Apples first came to North America in the 17th century via colonists. Now let me share a French recipe that is a huge favorite with our family. Apple Galette is a plain tart with a free form rolled crust. Pastry is elegant with simply sliced apples. A glaze may be added. Add ice cream. Umm - as good as or better than pie a la mode. Prep-20+20 min. Chill dough- 1 hr. Bake 1 hr. 15 min. Serves up to 10 generously. Pâte Brisée: 2 cups flour, 1½ sticks (6oz.) unsalted butter, ¼ tspn salt, ½ tspn sugar, 1/3 cup cold water. Cut the butter into the combined flour, salt and sugar until you have a coarse meal. Blend in water. Gather into a dough. Form a disk, wrap in plastic, chill Trick or Treat! for an hour. While dough chills, peel, quarter, and core 5 large apples. Slice each wedge into ¼ inch slices. Place these wedges in a plastic bag. Acidulate by adding at least one cup of water and 1 Tbsp lemon juice to stop discoloration of apples. Roll out the chilled dough on a well-floured board to cover a 13x15 baking sheet. Roll up on the rolling pin then roll back on the sheet. Dust with cinnamon sugar. Then arrange the apple slices in a large oval allowing at least 3 inches open to the edges as they will be folded over all the apples. Make smaller ovals inside the first adding all the slices. Dust with cinnamon sugar as you load the apples. Add thin slices of butter (1/4 stick) to top apples. Fold over the uncovered edges. Paint them with melted butter or a touch of egg substitute and sprinkle that 'paint' with a bit of sugar. It will brown for effect in a preheated 400 degree oven for up to 75 minutes. Glaze with apricot preserves thinned with Kirsch, Calvados or brandy then strained. Serve warm. Known as the Nutritious Gourmet, Jim Komar writes books and teaches cooking.

Each season brings things that I really love phone 419-368-6404. See you there! and so it is hard to pick a favorite season. But, I do believe that fall is on the top of my list for favorites!!! As a child growing up in Florida, we didn't get a lot of Pick up new brochure for the seasonal change. Even as an adult, one of my most fond memories is raking up Ohio Amish Country Quilt Shop Hop - Nov 2-5, 2011 leaves and watching my kids jump in them. The delight and excitement of www.countrycharmfabrics.com “jumping in the leaves” is so exhilarating. Secretly, as an adult, I even jumped in those leaves!!! So let's think about how we can use those leaves and that feeling Hours: Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri 10-5, Sat 10-4, Closed Sun & Wed of excitement that comes from jumping in them as inspiration for decorating our homes this fall. 1422 Twp. Rd. 593, East of I-71 Ashland, Ohio 44805 Leaves can be such a great addition to our decorating as we go into the fall. Using 419-281-2341 leaves in the welcoming wreaths that grace our front doors, to adding leaves to our favorite table top displays, the ideas that come from leaves just keep coming. You can even add that touch of fall leaves to your walls and windows with the great new vinyl clings that are available. Or if you are a craft lover, then you make them from your Cricut machine. The Parsley Pot As you think about decorating your home for this season, keep in mind the Visit our barn filled with Fall Decor, beautiful, warm hues that you see during this season. From the golden maples to Clay Pumpkins, Thanksgiving, shimmering sun on the lake surrounded by leaves that are turning, there are so Billy Jacobs Prints, plus Much, Much More! many colors that will make your home feel so cozy and delightful this season. Painting a wall can be so easy, as an accent. Just one wall in a room painted a 37th Christmas Open House warm hue of green or gold, can make a huge difference in how your room feels. It is so easy to paint that same wall again when spring arrives. Don't be afraid of Fri, Oct 28 - Sat, Oct 29 & paint. I use to think of painting a wall as being such a permanent thing. But I have Sun, Oct 30 learned that painting can be such an easy change to make and one that will totally change the look for that room. So go for it! Add a little fall color to your room through the walls. 697 Co.

Drapes, throws, pillows and even rugs can bring that change in color to Tues-Sat 9-5, Sun 12-5, Closed Mon your room. I like to think of this basic color change as the canvas for what you will do next. And what is next? This is the fun part of decorating. It is bringing in the pumpkins, gourds, wreaths, scare crows and all the fun things that come with this season. Decorate that mantle, the dining room table top, the front door, or even switch out a print on our walls that has more of the colors of fall. You will soon see your home take on all the ambiance of a beautiful fall day. Something else that I think screams Fall when it comes to decorating our homes is not just something that appeals to the eye but something that will appeal to your other senses as well. And what might that be? Fragrance! Light some of those wonderful smelling candles that fill the house with cider and spice, apple pie or even Pumpkin. Now if you are really brave, you might enjoy turning on the oven and actually baking your favorite muffins, pies, or cookies to give your home that wonderful Fall feel. I think I will stick to candles and fragrance oils. If you are like me, I tend to gain more weight in the fall, as all these wonderful delights make me want to bake and then I have to taste test what I bake. So good luck with that one… I recently saw a cute idea I wanted to share with you. It was taking a wrought iron bowl rack that usually stands on the floor to hold your favorite bowls and turning it into a great front porch fall welcome. Instead of placing bowls in the rack, fill it with your favorite pumpkins. Another great way of using this is to fill it with those great corn stalks. Sometimes finding a place for stalks can be challenging. Check out the two photos that show this piece in those two ways. If you are wondering where you can get one, check out my website where you can purchase one or ask in your favorite Country Store that advertises in the Country Register. So take a leap--jump in those fall leaves as you decorate your home this fall. Pat Dempsey is Senior Executive Director of AtHome America.

26 The CountryRegister,Sept/Oct 2011 - London - WHAT IS LABOR DAY? By Barbara Mills Lassonde Crafts, Antiques & Consignment Mall I-71 & State Route 38, London 740-426-6300 Labor Day was first celebrated in New York City on Tuesday, September 5, Sept 24 - Country Fall Open House Mall Hours 1882. It was planned by the Central Labor Union, which dedicated that day Oct 29 - Spooky Savings & More Tues-Sat 10-5 to celebrating the social and economic contributions of American workers. Look for the Primitive Crafts, Shabby Chic, Glassware, Sun 12-5 Red Roof! Closed Mon In 1884, it was changed to the first Monday in September, and was a Furniture Old & New, Antiques, Gifts, Jewelry “workingmen's holiday.” The idea spread throughout the country, mainly “Something for Everyone” Many NEW Made in America Crafts! through labor organizations, and in the years that followed, many states passed laws creating a Labor Day holiday. In 1894, Congress designated the first Monday in September a national holiday, Labor Day. To celebrate those early Labor Days, parades were held to demonstrate the strength of labor organizations. These parades were followed by festivals for the entertainment of the workers and their families. Enjoy OHIO Today we seldom think of honoring American workers, because nearly all of us fit into that category for most of our lives. We think of Labor Day as the in the Fall! official end of summer- the end of lazy days at the lake, stinging sunburns at the seashore, horrible heat waves, droughts and countless hours toiling in the garden, trying to eke out a decent harvest. Check out page 3 Every season has its joys, its miseries, its chores. Summer gave us sunshine, for a listing of growing crops, unbearable weather conditions, destructive and annoying insects, lawns to mow, weeds to pull. Now it's time to bid farewell to all great festivals! things summer: barbecues, swimming lessons, family reunions, summer visitors, beautiful flower gardens. Summer is behind us and Labor Day is the beginning of the fall season. It's the return of kids and teachers to school, the promise of cooler weather, agricultural fairs, colorful foliage, goldenrod blossoms and allergies. Crisp, clear mornings greet us. We smell the spicy scent of autumn leaves crunching beneath our feet, watch flocks of migrating birds and hear the crack of a hunter's rifle echoing through the woods. It's the season of hurricanes, downed trees, flooding streams. It's time to winterize or store away the boat, pool, patio furniture, garden hose and insect repellent. All used in a flurry for such a brief time and now we're done with them for the next eight or nine months. We haul out the chain saw, leaf blower, jackets and window wash. We work around our job schedules and the weather to put our perennials to bed, clean up the vegetable garden and stack the firewood. This is the season to prepare for the long, cold winter ahead, when we're more confined to the house and fill our spare time with needlework projects, reading and cooking up new recipes. Besides honoring all of us who work, Labor Day is a time of transition from the freedom of summer to the chores of autumn packed into a few short weeks before the winter winds begin to blow.
