There is supposedly a way to post on Blogger when you're firewalled out of logging in to Blogger, which is to send an e-mail to a particular address. I have never tried it before but am trying it now, since the school has blocked it. And when you think about it, this whole paragraph is a waste of your time, because if I got it right, you don't care, and if I got it wrong, then you'll never know. But who said this blog wasn't about wasting your time?
Next week is Chusok, more or less the Korean Thanksgiving, except they get a whole week off of school instead of five days. Woo! And it is apprently a time of much gift-giving, and teachers are often recipients. Which brings me to what really is a nice thought, but leaving us in a bit of a quandary: a parent has given us a box of some 40-odd apples the size of softballs. Each. So between the two of us, Justin and I have eighty apples and, short of acquiring a potato gun, no idea what to do with them.
So I'm trolling for recipes now. I don't have an oven, but some teachers are thinking of getting together this weekend and doing a big apple bake. I can also do anything on a stovetop or in a microwave.
Apple pie. Apple bread. Apple cake. Apple butter. Apple dumplings. Apple anything. If you got it, hit me up with it! It's harvest time. Let the traditional panicked preservation of produce commence!
PS. The shipment people SWEAR it comes tonight at 6. Be braced for overwhelming joy or catastrophic depression by 6:30.

Apfelstruedel, apple-cinnamon crepes, and/or caramelized apples in flan. Yes, I realize that these things are about as un-Korean as you can get. Crepes are really easy to make with very basic cooking ingredients, though...

Hmm. . . if you could get brown sugar and buttermilk, I would have a kick-ass cake you could make. OH so good. But you probably can't, eh? If you can, let me know. (elisakers@gmail.com)
Short of that, what about apple crisp? Or baked apples (put some brown sugar, butter, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg together, core but don't peel the apples, stuff the aforesaid brown sugar mixture inside and bake). Mmmmmm.
Applesauce is really easy to make on the stove, and takes a lot of apples. Just peel and core, chop into pieces, cook over medium heat with some (not a lot of) water until they're mushy and add cinnamon and sugar (white or brown works) to taste!
I also received a lot of apples recently, from a student who lives in a village and has an apple tree in his yard. But at least mine aren't softball-sized.
Apple bongs!
Well, maybe not... Apple diet: http://www.3appleplan.com/3ApplePlan/
Apple tarts? Apple chutney? Remember tofu apple crisp from the dining halls?
