Big changes have come to FruitFromWashington.com. We have decided to stop accepting online credit card payments and instead, return to a simpler type of commerce; the time honored tradition of mail order. As of September 2003 you will be able to place your FruitFromWashington.com orders by phone and charge them to your credit card, speaking to one of our friendly and proficient sales staff, or you can send in your order form by fax (in which case you probably will not need to speak to anyone at all). We have decided that now is a very good time to simplify the way we do business. Our FruitFromWashington.com website is undergoing revision but essentially shall remain the same weird amalgamation of recipes, literary quotes, blessings, toasts, still life art links, garden links, day book entries, holidays, Kittitas Valley history, historical orchard practices, big fruit postcards, fruit crate labels, and other forms of nostalgia which catch our interest. The webletter shall be published on a bi-monthly basis as you can see with this current September-October edition, and you will be able to use our printable order forms to phone or fax your Fruit Gift Box or Furniture Orders to our sales desk at Fruit From Washington.com. (Order form is pdf version requiring Adobe Reader to view.)
Katie's Ellensburg High School class held its 30th reunion this year. She did not attend, however a fellow classmate and mutual friend did return to the 'burg for scheduled events. Afterwards, she commented on the surprising number of folks she found there who did not choose to leave the Kittitas Valley in pursuit of distant dreams after they were graduated decades ago. That seems somewhat of an anomaly given the usual case of rural flight experienced by other small towns and farming communities across America. If Katie's class is any evidence, it appears that Ellensburg, Washington is a place where families' put down roots and generations are loathe to leave. Time will tell if the same holds true for nephew Cameron's Class of 2004. We often see a close identity with place in the works of writers and artists. William Sydney Mount was a mid-19th century artist who used oil on canvas to depict common farm scenes of rural folk at work and play in New York State. Farmers Nooning (1836), Cider Making (1841) and Dance of the Haymakers (1845) are three such pastoral pieces inspired by the Long Island farming community where he was born and where he died. The Long Island Museum of American Art, History and Carriages features an online exhibit of William Sydney Mount's life and works titled, "The Riches of Sight: William Sydney Mount and His World". The museum owns more than 150 of Mount's oil paintings and what may be nearly ten times that number of pencil and pen on paper sketches. William Sydney Mount lived in New York from 1807 to 1868. His paintings often revealed a whimsical and humorous side of country life which is believed to have influenced Norman Rockwell in the next century. Read more about the artist, William Sydney Mount on the Long Island Museum website. As a nod to this harvest time of year, we have added a link to Mount's oil painting, Cider Making (1841) on the Fruit From Washington Virtual Gallery of Still Life and Orchard and Farm Landscapes where you can browse and find other examples of art of a fruitful nature. National Public Lands Day observed in Washington and Oregon on September 20. What does this mean for you? Well, if you are a boater, backpacker or intrepid road warrior out there on the highways and byways of Oregon and Washington on September 20, it means that for that one day in our national forests you can park your vehicle, launch your boat, and use the restroom facilities without paying the usual fees.

My
one note: Depending on the type of apple used (moisture content),
the flour used should be increased a bit. Otherwise, one has to
take a turkey basting bulb to remove the excess juice after baking.
This juice, however, is delicious saved and put on ice cream. -
