Ahoy! It's that time of year again. I honestly don't know where the time has gone. Most of you know that we live in beautiful Salem, Massachusetts. Salem is also known as Witch City, after...

There are times when it's easier to use pre-made or frozen pie crust. Wait, what? Go on: Scold me if you want. When you've already been going for 12 hours by the time 6 pm rolls around, sometimes convenience wins. That said, when I do have the time, I definitely always make my own crust. Nothing compares.

I'd like to introduce you to my new favorite milkshake. I can't take credit for this idea. It's my version of the Apple Cider Milkshake I had at the Ben & Jerry's in Salem the other day, while I was waiting for The Angry Chef to pick me up on a rainy day.
