This week, the Kitchn points out that "an apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze." Some people melt a wedge of cheese on top, while others grate it into the filling or bake it into the crust.
Also on the Kitchn, dyeing pasta, roasting stuffed pumpkins, a kale slaw with peanut dressing recipe, and Garrison Keillor's song about guilty food pleasures.
- Colorful Cooking: How to Make Colored Pasta: Sure you can buy pre-colored pasta at the store, but why not add some vegetable puree (or squid ink!) yourself.
- Autumn Supper: Savory Stuffed Pumpkin: What can you do with a hollowed-out pumpkin cavity besides jack-o-lanternify it? Stuff it with bread, roasted garlic, spices, and a little cream, roast it, then grab a spoon.
- Autumn Salad Recipe: Kale Slaw with Peanut Dressing: Sometimes kale tastes a little too, er, kaley, but this recipe for a crunchy, salty, slightly sweet slaw with peanuts and cider vinegar looks pretty exciting.
- Food Music: Garrison Keillor's Forbidden Tastes: This song about fried eggs with mustard and chocolate-bacon cake all stemmed from one of Keillor's Facebook updates.

I'd never heard of having cheese with apple pie until now ... in the part of the country where I grew up it was traditional to pair apple pie with anchovies .... you would either serve the rolled anchovies on the side, or top the pie with flat anchovies, sometimes with a little anchovy paste baked into the crust ... it would never have occurred to us to eat our pie any other way.

@redfish: are you serious? Where did you grow up? I have never heard of that before..

Yeah, redfish...While apples and apple pastries paired with nice, sharp Cheddar is a centuries old--perhaps millenially-so--tradition, I cannot fathom where the anchovy and apple lines may have intersected...

A great apple pie needs no adornment.
