Recipe by Gerry Meyer
"The red and green make a great Christmas cookie. Have used other nuts instead of pistachios with success. If your pistachios are salted, omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt from the recipe."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/4 cup
light olive oil
3/4 cup
white sugar
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
almond extract
1 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 cup
dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups
pistachio nuts
This is perhaps the most fantastic cookie I have ever made in my life.
Here are my tips:
1) I used 1/2 the amount of dried cranberries (actually used orange crasins)
2) I used 1 tsp. of orange zest and added it right into the batter (next time I am upping this to 1 tablespoon)
3) I used slivered almonds instead of the pistachio nuts. The slivered almonds worked very well because they did not "chunk up" the batter.
4) When I took the loaves out of the oven, I immediately covered them with two dishtowels so that the loaves would cool more slowly. It's the sudden change in temperature that makes things out of the oven "crack" on top, and the dishtowels minimized this.
5) I transferred one loaf at a time to my wooden cutting board and cut diagonal slices with a large bread knife. I did now saw. I simply leaned into it with my body weight, and all my slices came out pretty cleanly. I also first cut off just a tad bit from either in at first before cutting the slices off.
6) I melted white chocolate in the microwave and dipped on end in, then sprinkled with red and green colored sugars.
By doing all of this, (oh, plus you MUST wet your fingertips while working with the dough before it goes in the oven), I got 24 clean slices. These freeze beautifully as well. I LOVE this recipe!
Have to give this a just OK rating as I'm not real excited about the olive oil flavor that sneaks through. Otherwise this is a good biscotti and I agree with the others who have added that hint of orange; I substituted orange extract for the almond.

This is a wonderful recipe. Italian friends have told me this taste "just the way biscotti is supposed to taste." I reduced pistachios by 1/2 cup and increased the cranberries by 1/2 cup. I also add 1/2 tsp. real orange extract. Otherwise, the recipe is perfect. If you are not getting 3 dozen, you may be making the logs too wide. Make them 2 inches wide and then flatten them slighty. It is a smaller biscotti than those sold in jars at coffee shops. DON'T use butter or margarine. Find a light good quality olive oil. Butter doesn't belong in biscotti--it won't age well and will become rancid instead of allowing the flavor to develop.
By gads! This is the very =best= biscotti recipe! Usually I can't stand those nasty little bricks, but these are delicious! Try these even if you usually don't like biscotti... m-m-m-m yummy. HINT: Use a regular knife to cut these... the serrated blade makes a big mess.
Yum! I used orange-flavored Craisins, used 1c cran & 1c pistachio, and added about 1/4 tsp orange extract. Based on a review that said these spread out a lot, I made two perfectly round logs (the hand-wetting tip worked perfectly). After 45 minutes of baking, it still wasn't very brown (but it was done), it didn't spread THAT much, and it was very difficult to cut. I used a good serrated knife, but I still had to cut them wider just to get a slice that didn't break apart (though some still did). Since they tasted so good, I thought I'd try a second batch. My adjustments: I very coarsely chopped the cranberries and pistachios; I reduced the cran/pistachio amounts to 3/4 cup each (though in hindsight, the chopping might have been enough to help simplify cutting - I might use the full 1 cup next time); I flattened the logs a bit; and I brushed an egg wash on the logs (1 egg + 1Tb water). After 40 minutes of baking, the cookies had a great brown color, and had spread perfectly. I let them cool 10 minutes on the cookie sheet, then carefully transferred them to my cutting board, where I let them cool another 10 minutes or so. What a difference - it was so much faster and easier to cut them.. they came out looking perfect. I drizzled with white chocolate to finish.
Excellent recipe that won me a baking contest! Soft enough that they can be eaten without being dipped in a drink. Make sure to let the logs cool before slicing them, otherwise they will crumble and fall apart. Highly recommended!!!!
These are fantastic! I've made several bathces of these in the past few months. Yes, the nuts can be difficult to cut through- I coarsley chop mine. I've also coated one side in white chocolate then drizzled it with milk chocolate- beautiful presentation & tastes great! DO use parchment paper, as the recipe calls for, or they will stick. Wetting your hands does make shaping the sticky dough very easy. These also freeze beautifully. 5 stars!!
these are delicious-I made them with olive oil and the 2nd time I use margerine.
I liked them better with margerine - I added more cranberries and dipped in white choc-yummy! I will make these again.

Gallery: Dramatic Solar-Powered Boathouse Charges Electric Boats in The...
The Electric Boathouse is a warehouse with an extensive range of machinery to build electric boats, as well as an indoor exhibition space where boats can float in the water. Its dramatic form is composed of a red-brick block with a pyramidal black volume that seems to float over the showroom. Glass windows and skylights fill the space with natural light, and the building is topped off with 72 solar panels that generate energy to charge electric boats. The system provides approximately 11,072 kWh each year, which can charge about 1,385 electric boats.
Beyond the solar system, the facility also includes a number of sustainable strategies to reduce its impact. Rainwater is collected and stored in a tank and then used to wash the boats and flush the toilets. A ground source heat pump provides energy efficient heating and cooling.
The building was designed and constructed with Cradle to Cradle concepts in mind, ensuring that the building is not only durable, but easily recyclable at the end of its life.

Have set my sweatshirt on fire while grinding titanium pieces.
I wear leathers to weld in but cotton to grind in - go figure.
A while ago, I had to make a metal shield for a friend's wood stove.
Used a piece of cardboard to make a pattern and traced the pattern on the metal.
Cut it out then realized that I had not flipped the pattern over before I traced it.
Of course the pattern was not symmetrical so I had to make another.
Think I would have learned from that but recently had to get a new side view mirror cut for my car. Made a pattern but again marked it on the wrong side. I now have a spare for the other side just in case.
Everytime I do something dumb like this I put $5 in a can on the work table to remind me.Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:
Call me the "Clouseau" of welding !

Any alcohol involved?
I had to fix a hose reel at the house. I had fixed the aluminum crank on it in the past.
Made up my aluminum pieces for the reel, started the repair.
About 8 beers and 20 tungstens in. I finally took the magnet out.....
So you can't weld Aluminum to steel, hmmm....
A week ago I got a new Tig welder. It had issues with the torch and foot pedal, and I was so distracted that I left the full 125' Argon bottle with the valve back seated. Two days later I found it empty. At least I now know what refills cost at my LWS.

Oh yea. When I first got my plasma I was in the middle of using it on my first job with it and kept having the arc quit after performing poorly while cutting. Figured maybe the consumables were bad, swapped them out and no change. Finally while walking back up to the work piece I see the ground dangling by its handle on the piece of plate. Won't do that again.
A while back I was running all new pipe on a dredge.. we couldn't get the dredge close to shore so we had to use a john boat with no motor. One really early morning I got everything on the boat, paddled out, the leads were already strung out to it from the previous day, i got in position and no arc. Forgot to start the welder! And of course I was the only person on the site...

My desk nearly broke and the suction still didnt come off. Dont just use this for a Go Pro, if you want to mount something to your windshield and lock it in, this is all you need to buy!

Principal dancer Alfonso Martin announces retirement after 14-Year Career with Tulsa Ballet
Sep 25, 2012 in 12-13 Season Releases
TULSA, Okla. – September 25, 2012 – Tulsa Ballet Principal dancer Alfonso Martin announces the 2012 – 2013 season as his last with Tulsa Ballet. This season will celebrate some of his most memorable performances including the title role in Ben Stevenson's Dracula and Armand in Val Caniparoli's Lady of the Camellias. After retiring from his 14-year career with the company, Mr. Martin plans to continue working with Tulsa Ballet after retirement in a different capacity.
"Alfonso, together with another two or three dancers, has been the backbone of Tulsa Ballet for at least a decade," Angelini said. "He is the most recognizable dancer on our stage but his achievements go well beyond his public persona. Internally, he is the dancer that sets the technical, ethical, professional and human standards for the rest of the company to follow. I will miss working with him and seeing him perform but I know he will continue to positively influence the growth of the company as a member for the artistic staff."
Mr. Martin is very appreciative of his Tulsa fans who have supported him and his wife, former Tulsa Ballet principal dancer Ashley Blade – Martin who is now attending nursing school.
"It has been a journey, where I have grown as a artist and as a person," Martin said. "The fans have taught me to always try to be better and I do not take their support for granted. I would like to thank them for their loyalty and support for coming to see me perform for all these years. I just want to thank them with the all my heart, and I will see them at the ballet!"

Day 23 of my Boycott of TSA and the Airlines
Meditation, tranquility, connecting with nature—animals-people-spirit-self—the reason realigning with wholesomeness feels so good is because it is the antidote to so much malevolence bombarding us.
When I open my eyes to the evil and face how completely our technologies have trumped every moral compass and gauge the complexity of the problem, I'm overwhelmed. It seems so unfathomable that our collective resources and energies gear toward spying on dissidents over feeding our starving children.
When I acknowledge what it means that we consistently turn away from our power structures' capabilities to Fabricate Truth, with three recent glaring cases to prove it–9/11, Iraq invasion and the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal–I feel it's hopeless. This is not Goliath, this Patriarchy we tolerate, it's an army of Goliaths.
When I say Patriarchy I mean it actually in the sense of the more aptly coined "Kyriarchy"–it's about domination and submission; it's about ranking based on privileges, perceived or otherwise. The elite rule over the majority–as in the "daddy knows best" model at home and the "do as I command" model of our government globally. We make great homage to this system each time we raise our arms in the position of a criminal in order for the right to board an aircraft!
But in the misguided way of making this a battle of the sexes we've lost sight of the bigger picture. While Rush is calling us all "femiNazis" the power structures sweep an elephant under the rug: Citizens United. They don't care if we notice it or not–they're counting on how much time and effort it will take us all to get it out of our house. Several key elections could easily pass by that time along with the time and resources of scores of key people against corporate power in politics.
So I'm trying to get back into the realm of solutions and I remember Pussy Riot. A little known Russian punk band splashes across global headlines for months as they're arrested and convicted to jail time for hooliganism. Even Madonna pays tribute to these sweet young 20-somethings who pose as prim girls-next-door trying to protest against Putin.
Of course, sex must surely be a big part of the soul-ution! After all, it's about connection-to others, to the self, to the impulse of nature. Surely part of their notoriety comes simply from the fact that sex and sexy words work and they're mostly universal.
That's where the audience is and they are very vocal and vigorous. We can use art to inspire activism against the Kyriarchy, and we can use sex too! Any form of non-violent sabotage, one pussy at a time.

Dún Laoghaire : Michelin's recommendations
This town, which is Ireland's main port for ships arriving from Great Britain, is named after Laoghaire, the High King of Ireland in the 5C, who built a fort here. The growth of trade with England in the 18C transformed this small fishing village into a busy port. Development of the docks (100ha) was begun in 1817 following a design by John Rennie. The main construction, built from Dalkey stone, was completed in 1842.

Resource distribution imbalances between nations.
We know that nations have diverse resources to cater for their citizens, so what are the major causes of humanitarian imbalances in nations and communities, looking from the perspective of life quality?
Feb 1 2013: It takes so much courage and discipline to be considerate, tolerant and caring. Greed and selfishness are easy and common; so when people become comfortable and rich, they tend to forget the weak, poor and powerless. They become consumed with prestige and power; and thus holding to resources to maintain such.
John Stott says "Power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve".
Most nations are not ruled by servant-leaders
Feb 1 2013: this is powerful point blank this post exude such wisdom that is needed in our nations.Feb 1 2013: Krisztian Pinter- Resource: An economic or productive factor required to accomplish an activity, or as means to undertake an enterprise and achieve desired outcome. Three most basic resources are land, labor, and capital; other resources include energy, entrepreneurship, information, expertise, management, and time.
Feb 1 2013: i assumed you mean natural resources. if you meant capital, then the answer is history. capital needs hundreds of years to build up, and can be destroyed in ten. europe is rich because europe builds up its capital stock for many hundreds of years.Feb 1 2013: resources has nothing to do with life quality. natural resources give us 1% of what we have. the 99% value is added by work, and work is hugely enhanced by capital (machines, tools, etc). capital is closely related to life quality.

Feb 2 2013: I have not read your Constitution, examined your leadership, or reviewed your contracts for mining your resources, however, I can evaluate the corruption that has occured and will continue until the resources are exhausted. If humanitarian concerns were addressed then the comnpanies wishing to do business would be required to hire local labor at all levels, provide medical services, provide formal education and job related training. There are two defined powers at work ... political and military. It would appear that both are equally corrupt. I do foresee greater pain for the citizens as I believe that there will be many coups and deadly political rivalery before any stability is obtained.
I would warn that with the resources and lack of stability that outside forces will be working to further disrupt your country and the people will suffer yet again. It is the environment that has been created in your country that will lead to infilteration of socialist / communist domination. The playbook for this has existed for years and history has repeated itself over and over. There is a real danger in being christian in this environment. Take care my friend.
I can say that Mugabe is viewed as a repressive authoritarian responsible for human rights abuses and severe economic decline. He has held office since Zimbabwe's internationally recognised independence in 1980. The removal of Mugabe is the first step in recovery.
I wish you well. Bob.Jan 31 2013: Munyah, Funny you should appear with this question just after I read todays news flashes and Zimbabwe taking the lead. First the facts: Mineral exports, gold, agriculture, and tourism are the main foreign currency earners of Zimbabwe. The mining sector remains very lucrative, with some of the world's largest platinum reserves being mined by Anglo American plc and Impala Platinum. The Marange diamond fields, discovered in 2006, are considered the biggest diamond find in over a century. That is the good news ... Inflation rose from an annual rate of 32% in 1998, to an official estimated high of 11,200,000% in August 2008 according to the country's Central Statistical Office. As of November 2008, unofficial figures put Zimbabwe's annual inflation rate at 516 quintillion percent, with prices doubling every 1.3 days. 1 in 12 have HIV ... and corruption is rampant.
In short the quality of life in Zimbabwe, a country with great potential, sucks.
May I take it that you are posing this question in regards to your home country? If that is so I will answer in that direction ... if I have misread the question please explain and I will redirect.

Interview with Jenny Lin, following the release of her InsomniMania CD, July 29, 2008. Here's an excerpt:
I ask myself all the time, what am I doing that makes a difference? What do you have to do to make it interesting enough that people actually care, that makes a difference in the context of history? What do I need to do to make sure that what I'm doing stays and changes something? That's hard. Maybe it makes my programming more interesting.

Interview/review by John Stark," Pianist Jenny Lin's New CD Takes a Classical Approach to Show Tunes," Nov 20, 2912. Here is an excerpt:
Tell me about the arrangers and their arrangements.
The fact is I needed the arrangements to be by performing pianists. There are thousands of arrangements of these tunes. But very few are by pianists, especially classical or jazz pianists who have notated them."
When I started the project I used arrangements that existed from the past. As I went along I started to realize that I should include some of the great pianists we have today who are also amazing composers. All the arrangers of the pieces on this album are actively performing pianists, or were when they were alive.
Did you tell the pianists you contacted what songs you wanted?
No, these are great pianists. I was not going to dictate what they should do. I pretty much gave them carte blanche. They chose the songs they wanted to arrange. I got back exactly what I needed.

The act of transplanting music to the keyboard from another medium is older than even the piano itself. Transcriptions of vocal or lute music account for more than half of all the Western keyboard music we have from the beginning of the Renaissance period through about the middle of the Baroque.
When the piano arrived, however—with its rich tone, harmonic capability, the effect of pedaling and the increased velocity of its players over time—different kinds of transcriptions were needed. Rather than simply moving the notes of an opera aria, symphony, song or other work to the keyboard, more interventionist strategies were employed. Paraphrases of the key themes of an opera, highly decorated versions of songs and even piano transcriptions of whole symphonies were well a part of the musical landscape by 1850. Franz Liszt was a principal player in this endeavor, but there were many others, even some musicians—principally concert artists—whose only creative pursuit was in making piano transcriptions of non-original works.
So while the "art" of transcription may be to some extent received, as it involves transforming music that already exists, it is the transformative effect of it that makes it an "Art" rather than mere artisanship; there are so many different ways to do it, and depending on how far one goes it could wander into territory so creative that it essentially becomes an original work. Jenny Lin's 92Y Concerts at Subculture program, "The Composer-Pianists: The Art of Transcription and Arrangements," approaches this large body of work from two different angles: works chosen from the mainstream classical tradition as reinvigorated by later musical minds; and numbers from The Great American Songbook as re-imagined by virtuosi in other disciplines. Pianist-composer Percy Grainger was a great admirer of Gershwin and arranged several of his works— including a Fantasy on Porgy and Bess for piano 4-hands—starting in the mid-1940s. Thus began the tradition of concert virtuosi adapting tunes from The Great American Songbook into material suitable for performance in the concert halls of the world.
Many works heard in tonight's program can be found in Ms. Linn's recent recordings. Her disc of Stravinsky solo piano works, released today, and on sale at tonight's concert, includes Guido Agosti's arrangement of L'Oiseau de feu, and her previous recording, Get Happy, features many of tonight's Songbook arrangements.

My Bloody Valentine are an alternative rock band formed 1983 in Dublin, Ireland. The band''s founding members are guitarist/singer Kevin Shields and drummer Colm Ã[] CÃosóig. The lineup during the band''s late 80s/early 90s heyday included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe after the band settled in London. As My Bloody Valentine''s music progressed, their use of distortion, pitch bending, and digital reverb resulted in a sound that came to be known as shoegazing. The group''s 1991 critically acclaimed album Loveless took two years to make mostly due to funding problems. Following Loveless, My Bloody Valentine became inactive, with Shields recording and shelving several albums'' worth of follow-up material. In 2007, Shields announced that the band had reunited and were recording new material. The name of the band is taken from the 1981 horror film of the same name.

Talking turkey with Ed Kramer is exactly that.
You talk turkey.
The standard bronze, that's a heritage bird, the Bourbon red, another heritage breed and the broad breasted bronze, that one is not a heritage bird but grows really big, said Kramer pointing out the different types of turkeys he raises on Fisher Farm in La Plata.
He became a turkey farmer three years ago after his wife refused his request to raise another animal.
"My wife said I couldn't have chickens, so I got turkeys," joked Kramer, who retired from the federal government. "I had to learn a lot. There's a lot of moving parts. It's not rocket science, but it's a lot to learn."
Growing up farming in New Hampshire before joining the U.S. Marine Corps, Kramer came into the game with a bit of knowledge about tending crops and livestock, but he still hit the Internet and books to research raising turkeys.
His birds, 100 altogether, have free range of the farm's grounds, including the fruit orchard where the turkeys roam around while they are poults (baby turkeys) in spring and summer sometimes underfoot of people who come to pick their own raspberries, apples and peaches.
The birds are raised antibiotic- and pesticide-free and, along with the occasional treat of fruit, are fed grass and a grain-based diet.
The farm has been humming along to its big day — Thanksgiving — since late May when the poults were incubated and hatched.
Trafficking in turkeys can be a bit quiet at times.
From May to September, the business line rarely rings.
There are no orders coming in. No one is thinking of sweet potatoes and crescent rolls in July.
Maybe this is the year that no one will want a turkey for Thanksgiving, Kramer said he finds himself wondering.
Around October, there may be an order here or there, but come November customers are all but throwing money at him.
Kramer has sold out for Thanksgiving with 70 birds destined to be the centerpiece of the annual feast.
The other 30 turkeys will be sold for Christmas dinners.
Heritage breeds are becoming more popular, Kramer said.
To be a heritage breed, the birds must be naturally mating, have a slow growth rate and able to have a long life outdoors.
Kramer's turkeys have a lifespan of about six months.
"Thanksgiving gets in the way of a turkey's longevity," he said.
The standard bronze can weigh between 12 and 19 pounds, while the Bourbon red reaches about 8 to 15 pounds, Kramer said.
People looking for more poundage from their Thanksgiving turkey opt for the broad breasted bronze that can top out at about 25 pounds. That the birds are farm raised and not factory raised such as those found frozen in supermarket cases, makes a difference, Kramer said.
"They taste better," he said. "They just taste better."
When it comes to customers — many come from Southern Maryland while others travel from Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C.-area — Fisher Farm is open to anyone who wants to see sustainable agriculture practices in action.
Just call ahead to make sure the farmer and farm hands aren't too busy.
"I want to be able to show people this is where your food comes from," Kramer said.
He also invites visitors to roam around among the birds.
"Collectively [turkeys] are curious, gregarious," he said. "People ask, 'Do they bite?' Well, they don't have teeth. They're turkeys, not tigers."
Susan McQuilkin, marketing executive for the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission, has been buying farm-raised turkeys since she has lived in the area for 27 years.
"It's a great excuse to have turkey twice a year," said McQuilkin, a native of the United Kingdom. In England, turkey is served at Christmas dinner, but it's the star of the show during Thanksgiving, she said.
"Its a tradition of mine to drive down to find a turkey farmer," said McQuilkin, who lives in St. Mary's County. "The difference is fantastic," compared to factory-raised poultry. "The texture of the meat. It's quicker to cook and succulent. And you have the pleasure of knowing the farmer down the road grew it for you."
Kramer, along with the help of farm hands, including family friend, Kiley Grogard, prepare the birds for customers about a week before Thanksgiving, dressing them and storing them in a walk-in freezer.
Fisher Farm is a certified poultry producer through the Maryland Department of Agriculture and is licensed to sell turkey parts to some stores including Country Nutrition in Waldorf and the Spider Hill Farm store in Prince Frederick.
Farming offers Kramer so much more than income.
"I come out here to relax," he said. "The sun is shining. The turkeys are gobbling. This is how I relax."
Buying from local farmers has a ripple effect in the community, McQuilkin said.
"Farms thrive in a community that thrives," she said.
Customers are not only supporting farmers but the businesses those farmers support.
"It keeps our pastures green and the views beautiful," McQuilkin said. "And when looking for things for our festive meals, why not buy local?"

1 box
Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
6 cups
thinly sliced, peeled apples
3/4 cup
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
To solve the issue of having a "running" pie, Alton Brown suggests letting the apples draini(once you add the sugar) in a collendar for one hour then proceed with your recipe using the drained apples. I did this and sure enough, no running or over liquid apple pie!
little too lemony for our taste
68 Ratings
I have been using this recipe for 40 years...and my mother before that. Only difference I saw was we use 1 tsp of cinnamon and don't use the lemon juice....I may try that. We dot the top of the apples with butter before placing on the top crust. Then I sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top. For those who are home crust makers (me for 39 years) I use these Betty Crocker crusts....only take a little of my whole wheat flour, spread on a board and roll the crusts just a little thinner...and people think I still make my own. Smile.
For the best results dot the top of the apples with butter before putting on the top crust. Also, try using several different varities of apple, such as Golden Delicious, Gala, York etc. in the same pie. It really adds depth of flavor. Sometimes,instead on lemon juice, I throw a handful of fresh cranberries on top of the apples to give it the tartness and flavor of fall.
I am 63 years old and have never made an apple pie without using the canned fruit pie filling. I had 4 small Granny Smith and 2 large Jonathon apples on hand that needed to be used so I made the pie with those. I followed the recipe exactly as originally posted, except I did use 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white sugar, because I love the flavor of brown sugar. I also sprinkled some cinnamon/sugar on the top after giving it a light milk wash. This pie is fabulous and I highly recommend it to even the novice cook. I doubt I will ever make an apple pie again without using this recipe.
being from new england, we are fussy about our apple pies. now is the season for picking and let me tell you..this is the one!! loved it!!
I've made this pie for more years then I can say. It's requested of me at every outting. The flavor can't be beat. On top of this, I've used the Pillsbury pie crust ever since it was put on the market. Why go to all the trouble when this is just as good as homemade. I do tweek the recipe a bit and I know you'll find wonderful results with this. I put dabbs of butter on top of the apples before layering the top crust. Once the top crust is in place and crimped, I brush the top with egg yolk. You can either sprinkle with colored sugar or leave alone. The color of your pie will be a beautiful golden color. It doesn't change the flavor, but it sure enhances the appearance. Your pie will be the most beautiful around.
Very nice. I blind baked the base crust, coated with egg white and baked another 5 minutes. Added cranberries and walnuts to the filling. Delish. Base was nice and crunchy, not soggy as it sometimes gets with an apple pie. Will make again next week for Thanksgiving.

This elegant wood vase by Brian David Johnson is inimitable by nature. Handcrafted from layers of walnut, it has a bright resin inlay that dances with the grain of the wood. Inside the vase, a glass tube insert can house freshly clipped flowers that—like their newfound home—exhibit the delicate beauty of dissimilarity.
One-of-a-kind. Glass tube insert is dishwasher safe. Vase body: H 6.5" W 2.5" D 2.5". Glass insert: H 6" W 1". Vase will be similar to, but not be the exact one pictured here. It will likely contain organic beauty marks, which are purposefully selected to be in the work (e.g. knots, knot holes, extractive pockets, and large streaks or sections of light or blonde sap wood).
