another PA dutch girl here and my grandma made the best apple dumplings! and monkey milk is right, they taste best with milk. i don't have my grandma's recipe, but use one similar to the one you posted and they are delicious, one of my favorite fall traditions.

or you may be able to find something already made that may be close to what you are looking for. use the search box on www.etsy.com

I love vintage paintings. I bought this amazing painting of an old lady at a yard sale for 75 cents and the lady said " you're going to paint over that right?" She had no idea how cool it was. Although my husband doesn't like it either so it resides in my sewing room.

i'm against them, because i really hate the waste that they create. i have yet to have a really good cup from one as well (like strong coffee). our dept at work has one, but i still make a pot of coffee every morning :-)

My mom cleaned out my grandpa's house and he had two of the BEST patterned sheet sets from the 70s. I've been using the material to make quilts :-) I'm glad to see some companies are still making cool patterned sheet sets, although some of the prices are outrageous.

Congratulations! This sounds like a really great cookbook. Lately I've been looking up recipes online, but this one sounds like it'd be a great purchase.

we always do this in Europe and it rules. SO much fun to have your own apartment and always cheaper too.

I've had many more positive experiences on etsy than bad ones, but of course the bad one sitcks in my mind. I ordered a lip tint, because the one I had previously bought was running out. I loved the stuff, but it just never arrived. They said they sent it again and it never arrived again. They refunded the $, which is great but I really wanted that lip tint! Haha.

And as a sidenote, I always refund the money if an item arrives broken, it just means I didn't pack it well enough (it's only happened once thank goodness).
