Ishy's Eats: November 2008
http://ishyseats.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2008. We had one apple staring at us from the fruit basket and I had no appetite and hubby isn't a big fan of them apples. So, what to do? Decided to try my hand at an apple turnover type thing. Was looking on Open Source Food for hours at recipes to try out in my Mom's old tiny oven. This thing must be over 15 years old - my grandmother pulled it out of storage and gave it to me and I am still shocked it lights up! The bites came out delish! Here is how I made 2 Warm Apple Bites:.

Ishy's Eats: April 2011
http://ishyseats.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. I am not one to promote franchises in a big way, just a passing remark if it is worth mentioning that the option exists. Don't get me wrong, I need my fix of KFC, Pizza Hut, American Burger, BFC and Nando's once in a while and something comforting about knowing that you will get exactly what you want when you enter the premises. But tonight was an experience. I sometimes amaze myself how I engineer chance! We were right in the neighborhood to check it out and it was dinner time.
