Apple Pie in the New England Fall Time

Article and photo (of Andrea DiReda Tabor, Ever So Humble Pie Company) by Eric H.

Bookmark and ShareFall time in New England and apple pie have always seemed like a perfect autumn duo.

Picking apples at the local farm and then coming home to start the process of apple pie-making truly brings out the best in fall. The unmistakable sweet apple pie aroma resides quite harmoniously with the outside fall colors, the slight chill in the air, a football game on the television, and a roaring fireplace in the living or dining room (in our case, an electrical version).

For those who would rather buy an apple pie than make one, we recommend shopping at your local farm stand or bakery over the supermarket -- generally, the fresh taste comes out more when shopping locally. At the top of the pie chain, however, is the local pie shop -- if you are lucky enough to have one near you. In the southwest metro Boston suburbs, we recommend the Ever So Humble Pie Company's, of Walpole, Mass., all-natural version of apple pie. Freshly-peeled apples tossed with brown sugar and spices, and heaped high beneath a delicate, flaky crust make this apple pie a "you just can't eat one slice" concoction.

Andrea DiReda Taber, owner of the Ever So Humble Pie Company Apple Pie, creates this remarkable-tasting ready-to-bake pie, made out of all-natural ingredients, at her East Walpole production and retail shop. This is certainly not your basic healthy-but-cardboard-tasting apple pie! While some other pie-makers include trans fats, monosodium glutamate, artificial colors and flavors, and and other offending, unhealthy chemicals, Tabor crafts her hand-crimped apple pies with a slower production process, paying close attention to using quality ingredients.

"Mass produced products use more seasonings than fruits, so customers know they are tasting the 'real thing' with our pies," said Taber.

Good Eeeevening!: A Perspective on New Hampshire Meteorologist Al Kaprielian

Article by Eric H., at VisitingNewEngland.com Somewhere in the 1980s, my esteemed Arlington High School journalism teacher Len Tammaro tipped me off about a New Hampshire television weatherman that he called "Crazy Al Kaprielian." That night, I couldn't believe what I saw: this nerdy-looking guy with a high-pitched voice flailing his arms all over the weather map, contorting his face in every direction, and squealing, "Good Eeeevening!" and "HIGH PRESSURE!" (his future trademark phrases)." All that boundless energy and the myriad antics left the viewer laughing, yet enervated at the same time. In this world of slick, Ken and Barbie television meteorologists, Al Kaprielian has been the antidote to the standard, unctuous television personality. Twenty-five years later, Al is still going strong on MyTV New England with his unique style --perhaps validation that he really loves his job. No doubt, Al has always been an unconventional, unique-looking a

Visiting My Grandmother Had That Antiques in Wrentham, Mass.

Image
My Grandmother Had That...Antiques  in Wrentham, Mass., is one of those "hidden gem" antique stores that is jam-packed with antiques, collectibles and other items from the past. Located in a charming, two-story old red barn at 446 South St. (Route 1A), My Grandmother Had That...Antiques certainly lives up to its name. You'll find furniture, lamps, desks, chairs, plant holders, fine China sets and just about everything your grandma had, and also didn't have -- like a web address, Facebook fan page or any hint on the Internet that this place exists! Unless you're a Wrentham native, one familiar with the antiques industry, have driven by the red barn on South St., or somebody that just reads maps of Wrentham all day, My Grandmother Had That...Antiques is as hard to find as the rarest antique. You won't even find the name, "My Grandmother Had That," on the building, just a sign that states "Antiques." The My Grandmother Had That name is on

Where To Live In Connecticut That Has A Small Town Feel?

Image
Noank, Conn. Editor's note: We recently received an email from one of our readers looking to possibly move to Connecticut. Here is her inquiry, followed by our response... Hi, my name is Courtney and I found your website completely truthful and helpful. I talked to my cousin who lives in the northern part of the east coast and she described exactly what you did! I am currently in Orange County, California, and don't like the "ingenuinity" (we're assuming the word is"disingenuous") and mindset of the people. I have found that Connecticut is a place with great weather and has a lot if cities with a small town feel. I was wondering if there was any way that you could help me specify my search in CT? I would like a city with a small town feel where your neighbors are sweet, but it still has a high quality of life. Essex and Stonington caught my eye, but I've never been so I can't say! Thank you for your time. Thank-you for your inquiry. We d
