It's odd the thoughts that go threw my mind while weighing if it's really worth the curiosity to open the front door. There's that cold chill.



Since when did the front foyer become an integral section of the house’s living space, elevated from an entryway where hats, shoes, and coats were removed, left to drip mud or rain? A bookcase lined one side of it now and a long beveled glass side table the other, underneath which shoes had migrated in a loosely uncoordinated pile. You could still walk through from the door but the area had become a hallway more than a small graceful place to invite people into a home; which made it very odd that there was a spur booted, swordsman standing there.

I quite liked this. It's going to make me nervous about sleeping at inns where the accommodations might be iffy or *looks at my own bed* ... Always wonder about the people who had had the room before. And here I thought that the only worry was about bedbugs.
Seems a simple ghost story at first but then after little easily overlooked things fall into place there are avenues of thought that open up.

I've never liked the game that's played here, regardless of the specific details of how it's played. It has always seemed a silly 'dare you' style of game that is asking for trouble, or annoying pranksters, because daring the supernatural ... not terribly smart. Did like the hint of romance about this one, though I wonder what happens to Ellie after the game is played the next time.

Ingredients:
15 granny smith apples, peeled and diced
1/2 cup butter, cut into small squares
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 package prepared pie crusts

Directions:
Spread apples onto a cookie sheet. Spread squares of butter over the apples, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Remove the apples from the oven. Carefully place the pie crusts in the bottom of the mugs. Fill generously with the apple pie mixture. Top lattice-style with strips of pie crust. Place mugs on a clean cookie sheet, return to oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pie crusts are golden brown.

Apple Pie Applesauce
http://www.babble.com/best-recipes/homemade-applesauce/

5 pounds apples, like Jonathan or Macintosh—something that will get smushy when it cooks down
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (NOT the fake kind!)
2 inch piece orange zest (use a vegetable peeler to peel off a strip—don’t add the white pith)
juice of half an orange
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup water

In a large pot, combine all ingredients. Set over medium high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Applesauce is done when the apples are all translucent and soft. Serve warm.
