It's like those optical illusion pictures. I can't stop staring at it.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

beth - have you ever been up to Apple Hill during harvest season (aka now)? It is wonderful - lots of apple goodness.

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.

My grandmother had a crabapple tree in her back yard. By the end of fall, the little apples would start to get a bit...fermenty.
Not that we ever ate them - you could tell by the way the squirrels and birds would be lurching around the yard.

Thrive to spite them
All this apple talk makes me wish Christmas would come faster. Every year Dad gives people gift pack of a selection of apples. I don't know the name of the company but he gets a variety pack of unusual apples that you dont' find in the grocery store.

Herding cats for fun
Me, a cheater? How you say??
When DH & I first lived together in SF, we had a dwarf Red Delicious apple tree. This little thing was shorter than me. One fall it didn't do anything in the way of fruit. The next year we had like 50 pounds of the biggest, sweetest, crunchiest apples ever. No supermarket fruit could compare.
Now I wanna get an apple and some Cheddar cheese. Then for dessert, a piece of blueberry Stilton from Trader Joe's, washed down with Irish whiskey.

Our wings are not tired.
I like the Granny Smith apples, but really any crisp apple. I put some on the grill last week stuffed with walnuts and raisins and they were very yummy. Not crisp though.
