apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i had my first taste of honeycrisp apples this week. I was really excited when I saw them at the store because of all the raves it recieved on that favorite apple post. I feel bad that I didn't like it all that much. Too tart for me. i dislike tart fruit. I guess I'm sticking to gala and fuji.

I'm so glad that the north part of Union Square is almost done.

I bought a bunch of apples from the greenmarket a couple of weeks ago, didn't keep track of awhich was which, and then amongst this batch found the best apple I've ever eaten: it was crisp, just tart enough, and kind of spicily floral. Very fragrant. Does anyone know what this mystery apple might be?

I would love to take a bite out of each of those and compare. Kind of like a wine tasting, but an apple tasting. Come to think of it, that would be a fun fall party!

The best apple I've found for a pie is Miltons! Sweet and they hold their moisture well..no soggy crusts or dehydrated apples.

I love the Macoun apples! I can't find them in Santa Cruz, CA. I brought a whole bag of them back with me in my carry-on last fall!
