An apple a day...

I eat an apple every single day. If I don't have apples, I go to the store. I LOVE Apples. If I don't have one, I feel weird all day. And for all the lame-o's who think I'm crazy, read this stuff! An apple a day really DOES keep the Doctor away!

My favorite variety is the Gala apple, but they're not in season all year, so I usually have to switch for a while til they come back around. This year, I found a new favorite, called the Honey crisp. It is everything perfect and wonderful in an apple. It is crisp and juicy, and sweet and tangy... it is lovely and amazing. But now they're $3.49/lb and that's just too much. So I have to switch again. The Galas are looking better now than they were for a while, so I got one to try.

But today, I tried another new apple, called the JAZZ Apple. Knowing nothing about it, I went ahead and bought one for fun. I tried it this morning, and it is a really firm apple, that tasted like a mix of red delicious and gala. I looked it up and it's braeburn and gala... but I am impressed that I got part right! Anyway, I can't decide if I like it. I may have to go back to get a few more.
Now I'm halfway through... i don't hate it, don't love it. But it'll do til galas are at their peak again.

I feel like there are certain times a year when apples are scarce. The reason I can't remember is because I couldn't eat apples when I was pregnant with Lucy. They made me feel icky. So I have only been eating them for a year since then and it hasn't come full circle yet. It seems to me they are always producing them off-season though, so I don't know.
