How I chose the name for my blog

I’m sure some of you have questioned about the link. I am a big fan of Harry Potter and at the time I created this blog, I was obsessed with it. A Patronus is formed from a advanced spell that most wizards aren’t capable of making a fully formed one. It is a animal formed of or warmest, happiest memories/emotions. (Much like a spirt guardian) There are two forms; A wispy mist of silver or an animal. Most witches and wizards can only make a wisp. Patronus’s are used to protect you from Dementors (soul-sucking creatures), or to send important messages. I was scrolling through TikTok, and I had seen one of Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley arguing, and Draco said “Your mother so fat, her patronus is a cake!” (The two are nemesis’s). I thought this was hilarious and I loved it. I had a flashback to watching it while trying to think of a link, so here we are. Hope this helped and thank for reading! 😊🙏

Apple Pie

 Apple Pie Recipe My neighbor has a giant apple tree and gave us a large bag of apples. I made these pies last night and they are so good. The filling practically melts on your tongue and the crust is covered in caramel sauce from Bonne Maman . Bonne Maman is a French business that was started in 1971. The name is a loving name that French families call their grandmothers. Ingredients: 9 inch pie shell 8-9 Medium sized apples (Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, and Gala are the best ones to use) 1/3 cup of sugar 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) of butter 2 Tablespoons of cinnamon 1  1/2 Tablespoons of corn starch (if it seems too thin, add a little more to thicken the filling) Half a cup of water 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice (Caramel Sauce is optional) Steps: Peel and cut apples to about 1 cm sized cubes and put in a bowl. Pour the water and lemon juice on the apple and mix. Put the apple mix in a large pot. (Big enough to stir around without spilling.) Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenhei
