Not Messes...but Memories (and sometimes something delicious)

As my little helpers crowded around to help make our apple desert... it became a little chaotic in the kitchen!

a giggly way to separate eggs (thanks Nene!)

painting on egg white glaze

lots of vigorous shakes of cinnamon and sugar...

a flopped together attempt at a new recipe for "apple pie squares" actually made it into the oven

End result: a surprisingly beautiful dessert! Rustic, homey looking, and undeniably delicious!

Recipe for these Apple Pie Squares can be found in the Feb/Mar 2009 edition of taste of home.

I love, love, love the egg separator (okay, really I don't... it kinda grosses me out, but it would be a great gift for my Dad).

That looks great, Tesa! And I showed the egg separater to my husband, and he loves it! He wants to know where he can find one! :-)

For inquiring minds:
Our crazy egg separator was a gift. It is a little gross, but the kids think it is hilarious. It is called a "Peter Petrie Egg Separator". I googled it, and found one here:

It looks like there are lots of other places from which it can be ordered, too.

If you give it as a gift, it is most fun to include a demonstration.
