Eh, behold my amazing adventures in baking.

Today, off of a whim, I felt like baking an apple pie. Everything was going rather well, but then I got to cutting the apples. First off, Fuji Apples are definitely not suited for cooking; they taste bland. Not to mention that some of the ones we had in the fridge were growing mold in the center.

To make matters better, I got a bit careless with the knife and ended up with a blade 1/8 of an inch into my thumb. First instinct: go to the downstairs bathroom and get a bandaid. There were no bandaids. Went upstairs to my bathroom. No bandaids. Went to the parent's bathroom.

One bandaid. One small bandaid. Luckily it managed to cover the cut... didn't stop some blood from getting on my shirt though. Ech.

The apple pie itself... sucked. Fuji apples do NOT go tender as fastly as tart apples, so the slices of fruit were still crunchy when I took it out of the oven.

But, despite the horrendous texture (the actual taste itself was passible) I made the pie crust perfectly, weaved-top and all. Whoo.
