Damn that looks good. My 2.4 is due for a refresh.

 

Slap a turbski on er too

 

It just looks nice and clean, well thought out

I'm digging it

 

Just got done slicing apples and now they're soaking in nutmeg, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and cinnamon so they can drop for about an hour

 

Dude asks about my plasma cutter

We decide on date/time

Then asks "it doesn't need an air compressor to turn on right"

Well, to turn on? No. To cut?

 

Anyway, 20 mins left on the apples before I cook them

All these juices become a nice sort of caramel for the apple pie filling

 

Fuck yeah LET'S GO

 

First step is to get a second opinion before I do anything

 

I called it quits for the night in the shop, changed a rear main, put the w59 bell housing on the w56, and started modifying some of the wiring harness for the Haltech

 

Man, that makes me feel significantly less productive today

 

Made my crusts

Border is unnecessary, but I like making things look good; docking is important to do though



Pie filling dropped, and onto the lattice



Almost there



Boom



Not many people do an egg wash, much less cut up small pieces of butter that'll melt into the crust

Comes out soooo good

 

Made enough to share I hope

 

Yep, enough for me and the wife

 

i can't believe we got eBay knockoffs of all the snorkels but no air raid intake tube knockoffs. I don't want to pay $200 for a brand name poorly made plastic tube when a cheap one would do

 

no kidding lol i slept almost all day instead of doing anything productive

 

Do you feel better though, like revitalized and stuff?

 

I want apple pie, I'm think I've had a slice of apple pie in like... I don't know a decade

 

Treat yo self!

There's a million recipes out there for sure - what I don't see in many of them are the apples and filling being cooked beforehand

This makes for a gooey filling inside when you bake it versus those flat, empty looking pie fillings

That and the crust, a lot of recipes neglect doing anything good to the crust

 

Well I mean if you and your wife were here, there'd be a second pie or something else

I always bake something when we have people stay over for a few hours
