APPLES, APPLES, APPLES

If you have an apple and
I have an apple and we
exchange these apples
then you and I will still
each have one apple.
But if you have an idea
and I have an idea and
we exchange these ideas,
then each of us will have
two ideas.

~ George Bernard Shaw

-A gift from Virginia
-A recipe I think I
got from Ellen [it
not, and it was from
you, please let me
know]
-The need to put
some nervous energy
to use
-All resulted in a nice
surprise for my guys.

Do you have an idea or
recipe to share for the
fall months?
