Opie: Hey Pa, maybe GiGi the missing blogger is down by the fishing hole.
Andy Taylor: Why that's a darn good guess son, but I don't think that is where she'd be hiding.
Opie:Why? Ain't she got a pole, Pa?
Barney Fife: No pole, Opie. She doesn't catch fish cuz she is from Yankee country and then she moved clear across the map to Cal-ie-forni-I-A. But we don't know where she is now.
Aunt Bee: Poor thing. Wonder where she could be. She could probably use some of my fried chicken.
Andy Taylor: Wherever she is Aunt Bee, she won't be partaking in any of your fine fried chicken either.
Barney Fife: The heartache, the heartache! She won't have any buttermilk coated dinners either. She's a Yankee vegan!
Andy Taylor: Now don't go making that GiGi blogger any of your kerosene pickles Aunt Bee.
Opie: That sure won't entice her back.
Andy Taylor: Sure won't.
Aunt Bee: Oh Andy! I won't. I will bake up some good ole apple something.
Barney Fife: Love your Apple Pie Aunt Bee. We sure have to nip this case in the bud!
Aunt Bee: If only finding GiGi was as easy as apple pie.

ReplyDeleteso good :)says Aunt Bee.
DeleteSounds yummy. Thinking the 1 tsp should read baking soda?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, Suzie Long you are correct, and hence the recipe is corrected!
DeleteBut if it were easy as apple pie to find GiGi we wouldn't have all these recipes in the meantime! We'd be done by day 3! Perfect recipe for fall...but I do hope GiGi returns, eventually (I'm still hungry.)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind thoughts about GiGi's return and fall recipes, FF.
DeleteFunny how I live in NC where the show took place and I have never seen it! I probably should watch it once or twice. Apple muffins sound awesome. I could use one right now!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have never seen it because you is a young-in.
DeleteApple muffins they are the bestest :)
I think I'd best be gettin' myself down to Trader Joe's to pick up a few fixin's.
ReplyDeleteor I'm fixin to go on down to Trader Joe's, you hear?
DeleteI have a serious soft spot for Barney Fife. I don't have much faith in his sleuthing skills, but I'll enjoy watching him search! In the meantime, I'll over that easy as pie ice cream!
ReplyDelete(It's supposed to say "I'm all over...")
DeleteAh Barney Fife :) I don't think he'll make it out of Mayberry but God bless his heart. and yep that apple stuff sure is good.
