It's nights like tonight that I miss the Cherry Valley Apple Orchard. You see, at said apple orchard, they have a table set-up where you can sample all the apples. It's fabulous.
They don't have a table like that at Woodman's. AND they did not have my favorite apples...Fuji.
Picture me standing there with one of those red shopping baskets (the baskets that say,
hey-I-don't-need-too-many-items-but-I-forgot-all-the-little-items-weigh-something-and-now-my-fingers-are-numb baskets) in one hand and two gallons of water in the other hand. My purse was perched on my left shoulder. I always put my purse straps on my left shoulder. I wonder if in my elder years, I will walk lopsided because of the added weight on/to one side of my body.
There I was...standing, weighed-down with miscellaneous grocery items, 2 gallons of water, and my black purse. ...searching for my beloved Fuji apples.
I love apples and peanut butter. And I know that peanut butter is not the healthiest of all the nut butters out there...but FOR REAL ---> it's peanut butter and it's better than dipping my apples in carmel. (Yum! by the way.)
My options:
Granny Smith - I only use these for applesauce or apple pie filling.
Delicious - No thanks, I don't like eating food with a sponge consistency.
Golden Delicious - They have the word "Delicious" in them and I have trust issues. Also, if you have to call yourself "delicious" isn't that a little pride-ful, I mean for real?
And lastly...
Pink Lady.
I opted for the Pink Lady apples because they were a nice, "healthy" shade of pinkish red...probably has something to do with their name. Hmmmm...
I have purchased these apples in the past but I cannot remember if I liked them. I'm hoping that I liked them. I didn't look at them and shudder (as with the Delicious ones).
