My favorite eating apples are Galas. Perfect size, lovely not-too-sweet taste.
Although my not-too-sweet is sometimes other people's sugar-induced coma.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Galas are fabulous. I like Jonagold and one they have out here called (I think) Pacific Rose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's weird and cool, isn't it, Aimée?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Emily doesn't want our bookcase - do you?
Yes! I have no bookcases. It is sad. Also, Matt said maybe you had a microwave you might want to get rid of?
Also, those camel-shaped shadows are AWESOME.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
They used to be delicious, Cindy. But they started breeding for looks alone.
When I was child, walking to school through 5 miles of foot deep snow, Red Delicious were delicious. Crisp and sweet. A sinecure for what ailed you. An apple a day kept the doctor away for years! But then, as Cash said, they bred for beauty, for the apple that the witch gave Snow White, a seduction of surface with poison and bitterness at its heart.
I'm waiting for them to rename it the Par-is Delicious.
My current favorite is the Gala. I used to like Cortlands (when they came from my grandfather's orchard), but the ones I get in the grocery stores are all mush, today.
