Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 02, 2020

Yum.. Apple pie baked from apples from our 50 year old apple tree.

them wee pluggers better ask their (grand)mother or (grand)aunt for a piece

If the birds don’t get to it first.

You’re a plugger if you scorch your mouth.

Our mom wouldn’t let us cut a fresh apple pie until it had cooled enough for the juice to “set” and not run all over the place. She would still let us have pie while it was warm, though. Off topic, fresh baked bread right out of the oven, cut CAREFULLY, so as not to squash it, slathered with butter … Ooooooh, my mouth is watering, and it’s been 70 years.

Hope there is Ice Cream to go with that pie ;-)

Free pie!

it has been too hot to put pies on the window sill to cool, but I have to admit, the idea is making my mouth water. Love a good fruit pie.

One thing we have learned from our previous house: Apples suffer from a multitude of diseases and pests.

For adult pluggers it is a smoker halfway through a brisket

Hope it’s cherry pie

Every time I see an image like this I think of Rootie Kazootie and the Pineapple Pies.

As seen in my avatar, I’ve been a reader for a long, long time.

did people REALLY put pies on windowsills to cool? seems un-hygenic to me. bugs, birds, yucky stuff getting into it. I’m over 60 and never saw this in real life.

I like that kind of windows of opportunity!

I remember LLOOOONNNGGG time ago, when I was about 10, my sister and I and other hooligans in the neighborhood, snuck into someone’s yard and picked a bunch of apples. We took them home and my mother demanded to know where we got them from. Being me, I told her. She made me show her and when she saw it was from private property, she made me make an apple pie and take it to the owners, give it to them and apologize for stealing their apples. I never stole fruit again and I learned how to make pies. :o)
