I'd share mine with you, flea, but, I eated them.
Honeycrisp are the best. Then Galas and Granny Smiths. I used to like MacIntosh when I was a kid, but these days I find they go mushy too quickly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Like corn, I find most apples disappointing now, if I don't know where/when they were picked. It's a shame.

I made this [link] over the weekend to get rid of some substandard Granny Smiths. Much improved.

I wanted to go to that, lori, but didn't realize it until after the event was over.
I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO. How will I go on?!?!

“Not dead yet!”
Mostly, I just think that different times call for different cheeses. I would Not Be Pleased if I went to a wine bar and ended up with Kraft singles, but I'm also not going to make a grilled cheese sandwich with manchego.
I now want grilled Halloumi with chili sauce.
The plastic cheese grilled cheese sandwich is a distinct (and delicious) category from all other grilled cheese sandwiches.
And should preferably be served with Campbell's tomato soup.
I like Red Delicious apples. Also Galas and Fuji.
