According to this site, Galas should be in season now, or in the next couple of weeks.
The orchard I was at yesterday only had Paulareds, but I'm not sure they grow any Galas at all. (We were mainly there for peaches, of which there were a ton. I foresee peach pie ice cream in my future.)
Okay--I need a website to tell me what's in season. Google--help me out---aha. I will use that for shopping reference. I know some Wholefoods will indicate what's locally sourced. Shame it would go against their interest to tell me what's in season and what's flavourless force ripe crap...
My webcam was just on for reasons I don't know. Wow, that makes me feel unsettled. Shut off now, and forcing a malware scan off-schedule.
Look at this art installation (video). It's motion sensitive, which adds way high onto the creep factor.
Huh, so much for my intuition/memory.
Eta: Wait, maybe I'm not so far off. If they're about to be ripe for pick-your-own, then they shouldn't already be harvested and in stores unless they've been stored from last year.
ita, there's an app -- Locavore
Does anyone know of a location where I can see who won the most events, as opposed to the most medals? Counting 5 or 6 medals for basketball and such seems like it skews things.
That app could be interesting, Vortex. Thanks.

Isn't there a forced ripe sort of a scenario?
Yeah, I didn't mean to rule that out. I don't actually know much about current practices in apple harvesting, but I'm sure there's some not optimal for taste stuff going on somewhere.
Vortex, downloaded.
Because I know you were on tenterhooks - I roasted most of the okra, and sauteed some of that in butter and garlic with the portobellos and served it over pasta with parmesan. The rest of the uncooked okra will go into a maque choux tomorrow. I think I'll make mashed turnips. Limes - I'll probably just make limeade.
They created part of the closing ceremonies just for Jilli.
She already posted about it on her Tumblr.
