The apple crumble pie is another one of those great ideas that makes perfect sense once you see it or think about it. <a href=\"http:\/\/veganinbrighton.blogspot.com\/2011\/10\/local-food-market.html\">Vegan in Brighton\/JoJo<\/a> blogged about going to a food market and picking up an Apple and Blackberry Crumble Tart. The picture looked so good, that after \u00a0I made the oatmeal cookie crust for J&#8217;s pumpkin cheesecake, I thought&#8230; I could make another one and get my crumble on. \u00a0And I did, and it was amazing (if I do say so myself) and so damn easy (and can I add anymore more ands to this sentence? and.) One thing that I did start wondering about during this crumble\/pie\/tart thing is&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/thekitchn\/best-pie-bakeoff-2008\/pie-vs-tart-whats-the-difference-068710\">what&#8217;s the difference between a pie and a tart?<\/a>.

Freaking amazing looking <a href=\"http:\/\/threeandahalfvegans.blogspot.com\/2011\/10\/my-first-blogged-vegan-thanksgiving.html\">fritters and pumpkin pie<\/a> from Three and a Half Vegans. Robotic Whimsy had a picture of <a href=\"http:\/\/roboticwhimsy.com\/?p=870\">phyllo-wrapped roasted vegetables<\/a> that was just a droolfest. I&#8217;m saving Cookbook Aficionado&#8217;s recipe for a <a href=\"http:\/\/cookbookaficionado.wordpress.com\/2011\/10\/10\/vegan-mofo-slow-cooked-seitan-roast\/\">slow cooked seitan roast<\/a>, because I&#8217;m always looking for good recipes to use in my slowcooker that aren&#8217;t soup or stew!<\/p>\n<p>There was a <a href=\"http:\/\/veganchicksrock.blogspot.com\/2011\/10\/thanksgiving-bounty.html\">great big bounty of thanksgiving magic<\/a> going on at Vegan Chick&#8217;s Rock. With their pictures of little tiny harvest pies, and a giant pot of chickpea gravy, I was ready to start Thanksgiving again&#8230; but maybe not today. Since I used one of her recipes, and after perusing the list of delicious potential thanksgiving items yesterday, of course I had to go back and check out what <a href=\"http:\/\/cupcakesandkale.blogspot.com\/2011\/10\/our-vegan-thanksgiving.html\">Cupcakes and Kale<\/a> actually made for the big day.
