Today I went on my trip to the Peak District, and I'm very shortly going to write a post about it. BUT I don't have time to do it tonight, because I was a bad student and procrastinated a LOT. I now have two 1500-word papers due tomorrow at noon. I still have to write 90% of one of them and edit them both. Oh, and they're worth 40% of my grade. So I'm a liiiitle stressed.
I'm currently taking a break, however, and I thought I'd let you all see what I've made to cheer myself up:

| So tired, but so excited for my baked apple. |
I was so happy to be making one that I tried to take pictures of the whole process, but my camera died. So no such luck. Anyway, in case you all would like to have your very own baked apple, I am including the recipe, straight from the expert, Mom. Here you go:
"Core the apple to get out the seeds and put it in something to catch the juices in the microwave. Stuff the center (centre, UK) with raisins and brown sugar on top of that. {I added a bit of butter, too. I was channeling Paula Dean.} Sprinkle cinnamon on the top. Place in the microwave. You can put some sort of lid on top if you have one. Microwave for about 5 minutes and check to see how it is doing. Spoon juices over the center and zap some more until it is done. Overdone, it sinks into the dish and becomes wonderful applesauce. You cannot loose on this one. Enjoy. If you can find acorn squash or similar small squash, you can do the same thing in the center, only cut some apple chunks and add those as well. Delicious and potentially a meal in itself."
I'll post later this week about Bakewell, Eyam, and strolling the moors.
Bye all!
You're adorable.
