Who knew an apple pie could teach me a lesson??

Some of you that are on the facebook world already know about my latest accomplishment: The Making of an Aplle Pie!

This may seem like a little thing to ya'll Martha Stewarts out there, but for me was a historic moment. It was the first time I didn't let anything, ANYTHING stop me from doing what I wanted to do. Because I always think: I could do this, or that...but if something is not working on my favor ( like I am missing things, or I have to go out of my way to do it, or I've never done it before and I am not sure I can do it right....etc... I can always find an excuse to do something instead, or not to do it all together.

Well... it didn't happen this time. I had to convince myself that I COULD DO IT! and went, got the apples, got a rolling pin ( a decent one) and started on it. I looked through a couple of recipes, and decided on one.

It didn't come out perfect, the dough was not enough to cover the bottom part and a bit of the filling came out....I even stretched my creativity and did a leaf motive on it ( how inventive, eh??).

I took it to our new ward activity...it'd better be good...and IT WAS! It was super tasty.... I think next time I'll put a bit less lemon peel...but I loved the lemon hint, I loved it!

So... lesson learned. Fear is a bad companion. Giving yourself a chance to succeed feels great. And if it is in a form of apple pie...it tastes great too!! :D
