Apple Pie

Frances told me there was a little town called Julian in San Diego near her house (an hour or so away) that had the most amazing apple pie, and we decided to make a day trip out of it.

I'm willing to travel far and wide for apple pie. Pie is my true love. I prefer it to cake, brownies, etc. I think I shall serve pie at my wedding.

When we got to Julian, I was pleasantly surprised that it was a tiny little town. The little town located on a mountain, so the air was nice and crisp. It actually hurt to breathe because the air was so fresh. My lungs are more accustomed to polluted air.

We walked into most of their stores (which were mostly antique stores), and end up buying some snacks. How am I suppose to resist caramel puffs? The town is so mellow and peaceful. I could never imagine living in such a town. Where everyone knew each other? A place that didn't even have a movie theater near by? I've been spoiled by the city, and being conveniently located next to everything. When I get bored I can go to the mall, the park, the beach, the movies, etc.

I fantasize about living in a small town though. It's just so mellow. I don't see anyone hurrying to get to places, and they acknowledge each other when they are walking down the street. Being in a town where everyone knows your name doesn't sound so bad. (Maybe I've watched too many Gilmore Girls episodes...)

We ended up having a nice lunch (She had pot pie, and I had a vegetarian croissant.), and eating apple pie with ice cream for lunch. The pie was AMAZING. The crust had the right amount of flakiness, and the apples had the right amount of sweetness and tartness. I was in heaven. It was delicious.

I must state that Julian's apple pie is one of the best pie I've ever had. I wouldn't mind making it a habit to get their pies once in awhile. I'll probably end up dreaming about them...

Luckily for me, I brought home a whole pie. I think I'm going to have a bite of it right now. :)
