Oh, our neighbors gave us a gallon of fresh cider, and I started marinating a huge, beautiful eggplant using apple cider vinegar. So we really have covered most of the bases from apple trees to end products today!

Processes
Today was all about processes. Top priority: apples. This morning Rick peeled while I cored and sliced 10 quarts of apples for apple pie filling. Once that was assembled and set aside to juice, I sent Brian out to pick another bucket of apples while I set up my work station for applesauce production. But before actually beginning, I took time out to help someone else on their "start to finish" project. A mom from our homeschool co-op is taking a multi-media production class at a local college, and asked if she could interview me for a short "from sheep to shawl" production. Today was when our schedules meshed best. We looked at sheep and their fleece, spindles, my e-spinner, my current knitting project, and several finished pieces. It was uncomfortable to be in front of the camera (and microphone), but I'm trying to "do unto others" as I would want them to do unto me. Hopefully she got all the material she needs for a satisfactory piece.

Interesting... Marinated eggplant. How do you use it later? Have fun with your interview - your spinning on the Turkish spindle will be very impressive, let alone the rest of your fiber talents!
I hope the interviewer will give you a copy of her finished tape. That will be fun to have . . . even though I think it's hard for any of us to "see and hear" ourselves!
Apples, apples and more apples! How good it must feel to have those pie fillings all set and ready to go. Looks like a good apple year here, too, if we can just get a couple/few more weeks for the apples to totally ripen. That first apple pie is being anticipated greatly and I need more applesauce for the winter.
Sounds like a productive day! I've never done much with eggplant, other than dehydrate it and use it in curry, but one way I really like it is marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and grilled. It's really wonderful!
