Apple Review

The new apple of the day today was a Gala, and it was excellent. And of course it was COLD! How -- why -- would anyone eat an apple at room temperature? Apples must be cold and crisp! That's what makes them apples, eh? Okay, okay, and I'm trying a Fuji tomorrow. I don't know if I've ever seen a Honeycrisp around here; I'll have to look in the fancier supermarket over the weekend. Maybe.

K passed her exam with a very respectable 88 -- a B+ -- which should give her a solid B for the course. And now she never has to know anything about economics ever, ever again, much like her mother.

I'm very itchy tonight; I took a benadryl about a half hour ago. Oh, my hearing is better today, too, so the magic prednisone is doing its job. I'm sure that the hearing thing is just another one of this year's allergy reactions, as the hives are; wherever I go these days, pollen is flying through the air, settling on the car, settled on my shirt before, even, when I was out.

I finally took the Sibs out for her birthday dinner, to the Cheesecake Factory, so as you can guess, I ate a very healthy dinner of grilled shrimp with no butter, steamed broccoli, and then a piece of key lime pie cheesecake. I can't even figure out how to put that into my WW food log, unless I write "... and then I ate a million points." But hey, that was hours ago, and I'm not hungry yet; haven't eaten a bite since I got home. Maybe I should eat a piece of cheesecake every night.

Then we went to the Land's End store at Sears, and I got a few little things, so now I'm going to try on the lightweight sneakery-shoes I got and see if they'll be good for Walking Away Pounds right here in the comfort of my own home. As soon as I stop scratching.

  1. I don't think you can find Honeycrisp in the stores at this time of year. Right now the apples we're eating are last year's harvest coming out of cold storage. Apples are amazing as to how long they can stay fresh.

    I don't know either why people would eat apples warm. My mom always had apples sitting on the dining room table in a fruit bowl, and she's quite content to munch on one. Me, I need to eat them straight out of the fridge. I won't even eat them when I bring them home from the commissary. They need time to get cold. ;o)

    Congrats to K! And I hope your hearing gets better and your hives go away.

  2. If I eat cold fruit - like grapes. It hurts my teeth.
