Crazy Appleton

[susandennis]

Until the past year, I probably ate about 4 apples a year if that many.  I'm not a big fruit person (or vegetables for that matter - gimme protein or just bugger off).  But I am now Crazy Appleton.  Especially this Summer.  I keep one in the fridge at all times because when it's hot, a cold, crunchy, juicy apple is just heaven.

I am curious about why a half an apple eaten in slices never feels like as much apple as a half an apple not sliced.

Apple and yogurt (and, yes, joyce, you were right on the money... vanilla yogurt is even better than plain and way easier to find). Apple and cheese. Apple and prosciutto. Apple and caramel.  Apple all by itself.

YUM.

Apple and peanut butter. Dip cold apple slices into warmed-up peanut butter.

Now, that does sound delicious! I will try. Thanks.

What sort of apple? I like pink lady best, but lately am getting used to plain old granny smith.

I'm pretty much Red Delicious only. I've tried others but I keep coming back to plain old Red Delicious. I like 'em sweet.

I know what you mean about the sliced apples. I can't eat a whole apple, but sliced up, sure! Weird.

What is that??? It makes no sense to me.

When I was pregnant, I had a thing about Granny Smith apples.
I couldn't get enough of them.

When I was in my early teens, we lived at a place that had an apple orchard of about 14 trees in the back. I used to climb my favortie tree, reach out and pick and apple and read books for hours up there.

Have you ever tried an asian pear? I _lurve_ those, especially when they come straight from the fridge.

I have not! I forget about pears - I'm going to have to remember next time. Thanks! (sorry to ready about your peenumonia. that sucks.)
