Did you know that October is National Apple Month? So this past weekend, Marc and I decided to go apple picking at Milburn Orchards. We invited our friend Christy to come with us and we all had a lot of fun! We picked Red & Golden Delicious varieties and I picked up a little Apple Cookbook to teach me how to make some goodies with all these apples! LOL We enjoyed some amazing Apple Cider Doughnuts from Milburn as well…if you’re in the Elkton, MD area (and even if you’re not!) you should get your butt right on over to Milburn Orchards and try them. They’re soooo good and simply amazing when they’re hot!
We’re also celebrating National Apple Month at work this week. With all this talk about apples, I picked up some cool apple facts that I thought I would share:
- If you place an apple in with your potatoes it will help keep them from
sprouting.
- If you can’t brush your teeth after a meal, than eat an apple. Eating
an apple gets rid of 95% of the harmful bacteria in your mouth. (WHOA!)
- 25 percent of an apple’s volume is air. That is why they float.
- Apples are a member of the rose family. (didn’t know that!)
Well, of course, you know I brought my camera along to go apple picking. I know, I know…I’m such a dork. What can I say? 
Here’s some pics from our trip:
Marc ate one of the Golden Delicious apples right off the tree! LOL
Lots of colors of fall!
Lots of strange looking gourds LOL…
