Pink Saturday - November 28, 2009

Happy Pink Saturday!

This week we have one hundred thirty-four (134) participants in Pink Saturday.  There is one new participants, and you will find them at the bottom of the list.  Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday.  All participants are listed in the order in which they began participating.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice and talented people.  Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST Friday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

Reminder - We have a weekly challenge for you to visit the blog of at least one participant that you have never visited before.  Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post.  Quite a few of you have been done this challenge, and have met some of the great Pink Saturday participants.  Thank you for sharing with us.

****************************

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is this wonderful display of Pink Lady apples.  These are my favorite variety of apples.  I just had to take a picture when I saw this gorgeous display in the grocery store.  Have you tried these?  They are crispy, sweet and tart.  Love 'em.

Good Morning Beverly,

I don't think I have tried this type of apple that I remember. I think my favorite are the granny smith. Thank you so much for another fabulous week of Pink Saturday participants. I was browsing your Thanksgiving table and menu. Everything looked just perfect. Hope your holiday was special.

Cheers! =D

Hi and hugs to a wonderful hostess... You're right about these apples. They taste as good as they look. Happy Pinks..have a lovely weekend.

[Sherry]

Good Morning Beverly..
Happy Pink Saturday sweetie. I have never tried these Pink Lady apples, but you can bet seeing as how they are tart, I will be trying them for sure. I love a tart apple. I have already added them to my grocery list for pickups for tomorrow. I like Kitty usually am drawn to Granny Smith apples, but it is mainly because of the tartness that goes with them.

Thanks for the tip sweetie. I pray you had a beautiful Thanksgiving with the family, and that many memories were made to last a lifetime.

Please pop over and say hi. I would love to share my pink post with you. As always I love to see you visit.

Country hugs Ms Beverly...Sherry

What a perfect capture of those beautiful, shinny apples. I like apples too and these look very inviting.
Have a beautiful Pink Saturday!

[Barbara]

Morning Beverly, I have not had any of those apples, will look for them when I go to College Station, the little store in Jewett will not have them. I am also a Granny Smith Apple fan.

Hope all is well at your house and wish you a great Saturday and Sunday.

Barbara

[Mary]

I missed getting to you in time to post today.................all this traveling just seems to be playing with my schedule and I'm falling behind!!

These apples are pretty - how are they for cooking, applesauce, pie, crumbles etc.? I usually cook apples because unfortunately I can no longer swallow raw ones - that's a bummer because they are so good for one!!

Hope you had a lovely thanksgiving Beverly.
Warm hugs - Mary

[lynn @thevintagenest]

hi beverly, do you think people wonder why we are taking pictures in the grocery store? LOL....I was taking pictures of onions the other day! HPS

[Claudia]

Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly. I love pink lady apples. I've sampled some a few times and they have a wonderful taste. Have a great weekend!

[Tricia]

Lovely collection of apples and a nice, colorful photo. My favorite apple right now is the Braeburn or the Fuji. I love apple season! Your post with your Thanksgiving table was fabulous. So pretty! I know that everyone enjoyed your beautiful dinner. Happy Pink Saturday.

Smiles,
Tricia

Hi, Beverly! I missed the train this week, but I still wanted to drop by and wish you a Happy Pink Saturday! I don't know that I've ever tried a Pink Lady apple. I would like to, though, on your recommendation.

Love to you...

XO,

Sheila :-)

Beautiful Photo..

[Happily Retired Gal]

Lovely crisp apples! My favorites are Gala or Fuji but I like Pink Ladies too. Happy Pink Saturday ;-)
Hugs and blessings,

[dana]

Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly! I don't think I've ever tried that variety, but I will look for it now! I usually buy whatever kind is hovering closest to the $1.00 a pound price range. . . we're not picky....well, cept my hubby doesn't like red delicious and I do.

I worked until 11:00 last night, then crashed! I really had a great night's sleep, so maybe I should do that more often...I usually start fading around 9-ish! Gonna chop down our trees in a couple of hours, then come back here, put the babes down for a nap and settle in to watch the Border Showdown on TV...MU vs KU at the Chief's Arrowhead Stadium. Guess I'll be wearing my PINK MU shirt to the tree farm just to irritate my son and DIL who are KU fans! How did I go wrong with him? He graduated from the U of MO in KC!

Have a great day....it's gonna be near 70 in Independence, but the temps are expected to go straight down, down, down as the week goes along.

OK....I'll stop!

L, Dana

[Mary]

How funny, Pink Lady apples are my fav, too! I got a dip recipe from Pampered Chef (not affiliated in any way) that is awesome with Pink Ladys...1/2 c vanilla yogurt, 8 oz. Cool Whip, 1/4 c smooth peanut butter all mixed together. Wedge those apples and dip away. Mmmmmm.
Happy Pink Saturday, by the way :)

[Anne]

Apples are the very best this time of year! Yummy! What a beautiful picture! One of these days I will surprise you Beverly and find my way in to the Pink Saturdays! They really make my day! :)

[Nancy]

I love them! That is certainly a gorgeous display. Happy Pink Saturday!

[Sandi]

Such tasty pinks, Beverly! I love Pink Ladies too. Happy Pink Saturday weekend.

Blessings,
Sandi

[Adrienne]

Oooh, my favorites, too since my California girlfriend introduced me to them a couple of years ago! Think I'd better go eat one now. ~Adrienne~

[Sarah]

Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly! Love Pink Ladies and Honey Crisp, too. Apples are a staple of my diet. They are so filling and sweet. Just the perfect healthy snack for a sweet tooth like myself. ~ Sarah

[Bella]

Hi Beverly! Love the apples. I can't wait to make an apple pie for Christmas - it's always one of my favorite treats. I've got some lovely pink Christmas inspiration at my place. Please stop by if you get a chance. Happy Pink Saturday and thanks so much for hosting this each week!

[Betty @ She's Sew Pretty]

I love pink lady apples. They're my favorite. Speaking of favorite pink ladies...have a wonderful weekend Beverly!!

[Sally]

That's my one granddaughter's favorite apple; she eats one every day!

[Molly of Fleur de Bee]

Beautiful photo!! I made three dutch apple pies this week so reminds me of all the peeling and slicing lol! I am having my final giveaway of the month and your little package was shipped yesterday! Enjoy. I posted but it is not a PINK SATURDAY titled post. I think I forgot to email you with so much going on! If you want to include me great. The PINK LADIES here are all welcome to enter the drawing!

Enjoy your weekend and Happy belated Thanksgiving!!

Molly

[Mary]

Beverly, just read your comment - thanks for the offer to add me despite being late, so late for your very important date, ha! ha! No, that's OK, I'll take a little break today but you can put down for next week, many thanks.
Your friend, Mary

[Simply Cathi]

Your lovely Pink Lady apples are a delightful sight indeed!!
Happy Thanksgiving holiday Beverly.

[connie]

Those apples made me drool, sugar!! LOL They really are pretty though. Happy Pink Saturday.
xoxo,
Connie

[Susie Jefferson]

These are my absolute favourite apples as well, and Himself also loves them. You wouldn't believe how expensive they are in the UK (easily double that of Golden Delicious or Fiji, and three times more expensive than Russets) but worth every single penny. I buy them whenever I see them.

Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly!

[black eyed susans kitchen]

Hi Beverly, Happy Pink Saturday...that was a yummy contribution today.

Happy Pink Saturday to all!!

[Bernideen's Tea Time Blog]

Hello Beverly and thanks for visiting my blog - as you saw this was my first time ever to FORGET IT WAS SATURDAY but after I saw your comment I did do a quick post! Whenever we have a holiday during a week I get all discombobulated and turned around! HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

[Sue@MyArtsDesire]

Hello Beverly!
Pink Lady's aye? I've never tried them. I am a diehard fan of Fuji apples but since Beverly is recommending them, I'll give them a try! Hardly a day slips past without me eating an apple accompanied by a few slices of cheese.

Just saw the latest email you passed around and think your ideas for upcoming PS's are wonderful!

A happy belated Thanksgiving to you!
xo
Sue

[Suzie Button]

Hi Beverly! Your pink apples are just beautiful! What a great idea for Pink Saturday. I walk by pink all the time and never even notice, obviously, just like these apples! Happy Pink Saturday! Suzie

[jeanne]

Hello Beverly, we have had a long day and I am soooo tired. We won though. Hooray!!! Go Gators!!!
I love the apples and I know they are very good. Love the photo.

No word of Jera yet.

I am going to bed and I will talk to you tomorrow on our way home.

Love you, Jeanne

[Deborah]

Hmm, never heard of those apples before. I will definitely have to check them out on my next visit to the grocery story. I can't believe you got those lovely leaf plates in your post below at Dollar Tree.I guess I need to hang out there more. They are very good value for the money.

[Queen of Dreamsz at dream kingdom]

Happy PiNk to you, Beverly

I love the Pink Lady apples.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Steph

[Elena]
