Recipe: Baked Apples with Ginger

Serve these apples warm but have cold, heavy cream to pour over them at the table--or vanilla ice cream is super, too.

Core 6 large baking apples almost to the bottom, and peel halfway down. Mix 1 cup chopped candied or preserved ginger with 1 cup chopped filberts or almonds. Fill cavities with this mixture; put in a baking dish.

Combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and a 6-ounce glass of currant jelly, and pour into the dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, basting occasionally with the syrup in the pan. Sprinkle the apples with granulated sugar and put under the broiler until brown.

Makes 6 servings.

Fun with Wordle

It seems there is no end to the fun applications for blogs and social networking. Here is one I found courtesy of Inspired by Hand, called Wordle. Type or paste in a handful of words and, presto-changeo, Wordle makes them into your very own magical word art. You can change the font, play with the colors, save to your very own Wordle gallery for all the world to admire. It's like a virtual blender for you to create delicious vocabulary smoothies. Yum!
