New year, new apple peeler!

BY Loni Stark — 12.31.2009

Celebrating the New Year, I took my new apple peeler on a test drive.

Well, the first attempt didn’t go quite as I intended…but on the second try, I mastered the apple peeler and was able to plow through the peeling of the six apples required to make my Easy As Pie’ apple pie. I probably shaved off 45 minutes from the prep time needed to make my apple pie recipe.

Here’s the video of the second attempt.

So there you have it. In two tries I have accomplished two of my New Year’s resolutions. To always persevere and to try out new things.

Happy New Year with love and laughter!

Loni (and Clint…he is the guy behind the camera)
