#FoodandLiy #Canada I made apple crisp today from apple we picked near our house. Farmers from days gone by always had apple trees on their farm. Some now are forgotten and are really old. The apples we picked didn't look as good as the ones from the store, but they are delicious. Recipe, cut apples, and put on the bottom of the dish. Put oatmeal, flour, butter, and brown sugar together and cover the apples. Add cinnamon and bake at 350 for⬇️

An interesting and thought provoking read, this is a complicated weave of three protagonists, drawing on both the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice and Johnny Appleseed. I think I‘ll have to reread this one at least once more before I feel I understand it

SamAnne Thank you for the reminder to pick this one up. 2y

In the faun's clawed and calloused hands the pomace comes out rich and sweet, a treasure of crushed cores and waxy skins and pulped flesh, a dozen colors of apples distinct in the gap beween the cider mill's grindstone and its wheel.

This novel was good, if grim, but I didn't like it as much as I expected to. The high concept post climate change apocalypse worked better than the mythology in the pre-industrial timeline--why a faun? Why Orpheus? It was haunting, but part of me was just asking why in the background the whole time. Still a pick, since it was definitely worth reading. Maybe skip it if your climate change anxiety is already sky high.
