right! The crust was golden brown, and the filling was bubbling just right. She impatiently let it cool, and we finally cut into it. The first bite was pure bliss—sweet, tangy, and delicious. Baking this pie with Kara was not only fun but also a reminder of how food can be a wonderful way to connect with others. It was a joyful, messy, and utterly delightful experience. So, what did I learn from this baking adventure? For one, this pie served as a reminder of the incredible diversity that makes our country so special. It’s amazing
how food can be tied to a moment in history, bring people together, blend cultures, and, hopefully, express love. Sure, because America is everything, maybe we don’t have our ONE thing, but the beauty of living in this free country of ours is that we get to celebrate our differences and come together to create something wonderful. We get to have a pinch of Japanese Hanami, when people celebrate the yearly blooming of cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. and a dash of Irish fun when the Chicago River is turned green
every year the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day. With all the different people who make up America, we always have something to celebrate together. That’s exactly what makes America great! So, if you got rather hungry reading this the same way I admittedly got a little hungry writing it, grab your apron, preheat your oven, and get ready to bake some memories. Here’s to apple pie, diversity, and the sweet taste of freedom.
