Apparently he kanzi is a Braeburn gala cross, and so is the jazz apple? But the jazz we all rated as “meh”
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like gala. Braeburn sounds very classic apple, not sure I’ve knowingly had it, though. I think I’ve tried jazz because I like the name but I don’t remember what it tastes like, so meh sounds right.

I know very little a lot apples beyond Granny Smith yum/red delicious ick.
Off to Mexico! Taking my sis for a much needed birthday/new job celebration.

There's a hybrid that Aldi has right now that's pretty tasty -- I'll have to look at the bag later and report back on the name. Never heard of kanzi, but now I'll seek it out. DH and I saw something recently about hybrid apples, and now we keep an eye out to try different kinds. I love the apple tasting party idea!

Cereal: Brenda!! Have an absolute blast, and congrats again to your sister!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dylan will be at Emerson in the fall, which I think is just about the right balance between "can come home for the weekend if he needs to" and "far enough away to have some real independence." And with my brother, my aunt, my uncle, and DH's aunt all living in the Boston metro area, he'll have plenty of local adults just in case something comes up where being local is more important than being a parent. (My mom keeps floating the idea of my parents moving up there too, but I'm not sure how serious she is.)
I'll have to look for kanzis!

Honeycrisps are my go-to apples, but I'm happy with anything that's not the misnomered red or golden delicious.
The Renaissance market Saturday was fun, though the only things we actually bought were from the BBQ food truck. It was really nice listening to the university's flute ensemble playing old instrumentals. And Mom found some handcrafted "protection charm" rings that she liked, alas all too large to fit her fingers.
I attended a film fest showing of The Fetch which was pretty good, although not set in Ireland as I'd originally assumed. The director said it's being distributed as The Twin in the latter part of the year.

I did not purchase red delicious, but surprisingly the golden delicious was actually pretty darn good! We were shocked. The sugarbee was the other shocker—it was the first one we tried and we all went “bleh, what is this bland nonsense”.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Cosmic Crisp is now my go-to apple, since I can no longer trust Fuji or Gala to be consistently good.

Congrats to Dylan on going to Emerson! Can't really beat Boston for college shenanigans.
Have fun in Mexico, brenda!
I am facing second Monday morning (9am) Pilates session and I like it as a kickstarter on the week. Dauntingly grey and foggy this a.m. though.
EM's coming over today. Haven't seen her since January when she wintered in Montana with her partner, Captain Wayno.
