  • Drumroll please! We have selected our next book and it is Adventures in Yarn Farming by Barbara Parry. We will not begin discussing this until January 2023 so you have plenty of time to get your own copy.
Miscellaneous

Crust:
1/2 c. butter ( 1 stick)
1/3 c. sugar
1/4. t. vanilla
1 c. flour

Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 t. vanilla

Topping:
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/3 c. sugar
4 c. peeled, cored and sliced apples
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Preheat over to 450.

To make the crust, cream the butter and sugar, add in vanilla and flour. Press into a 9″ round greased, spring form pan, covering the bottom and 2″ up the sides. 

To make the filling, mix the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, add in the egg and vanilla, Spread over the bottom of the crust.

For the topping, sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the apples and mix well. Spoon over the filling. (you can make it pretty by layering but I don’t and it tastes just as good!). Sprinkle with the walnuts. Bake for 10 minutes at 450 and then reduce heat to 400. Continue baking for 25 minutes. Allow it to cool completely before removing the sides of the pan. 

Note: You can also add 1/2 t. almond extract to the filling and use sliced almond instead of walnuts! If you want to be fancy and give it a shiny glaze, warm some apricot jam and brush it over the top when it is done baking.

  • We shared the news article titled: I knitted my own wedding dress for $290 and documented the 200-hour process on YouTube to debunk the stereotypes about my craft. You can find her Youtube video here. Greg talked about knitting about a dozen stitches into @DanielleLanois Danie’s wedding dress a few years ago. Check out the pictures below to see me knitting on the dress, and check out Danie’s podcast episode from five years ago where she talked about it.
  • Greg is going to be the next episode of the Crits & Knits podcast. Tune in for the live Twitch streamon Wednesday, October 26 at 8pm (Eastern). Or, catch the episode on the YouTube podcast a few weeks later.
  • Greg and Pam are going to host an Ask Me Anything episode in the near future! You can submit your questions with this form.
  • Be sure to enter your Fairs and Festivals entry in the Fairs and Festivals KAL!
  • Greg really loves the food at Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack when he goes to SAFF.
  • Pam mentioned her Thai Peanut Chicken recipe that is so yummy…
    1/4 cup peanut butter
    3 teaspoons curry powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon pepper
    3 minced garlic cloves
    2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
    2 tablespoons ground ginger
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    6 tablespoons lemon juice
    5 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 tablespoons peanut oil (Pam – I leave this out)
    1 can Coconut milk (shake well)
    1 1/2 pounds chicken, boneless, skinless (add after sauce is made)

    Mix all ingredients together (except chicken). Cut up chicken in bite size pieces and place in saucepan. Add sauce to pan and heat simmer until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serve with rice and veggies–we usually just put it in bowls and mix everything together. YUM!!

  • In episode 145 we will continue Section 3 of The Knitter’s Book of Yarn: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Using, and Enjoying Yarn by Clara Parkes. We will discuss Boucle and Brushed yarns. We try to host book club so you don’t need the book to enjoy the discussions but this book is such a wealth of knowledge we highly recommend it!
  • We are nearing the end of the our current book club and are looking for suggestions for the next book! We try to choose a reference type of book that will have broad appeal to many knitters, can be broken into segments and is readily available. If you have any suggestions, please email us! info@unravelingpodcast.com.
