Surprisingly enough I have not yet had apples incorporate themselves into my dreams...I am a vivid dreamer so perhaps typing this out will make it come true. Anyway, since starting this challenge, apples have literally become a part of my life; like flossing, I think about them all the time, I will go out of my way to purchase more when I suddenly run out and feel guilty when I miss a day, but generally am very happy they have an established place within my routine.
Today waiting for my Honda shop to finish my shockingly expensive brake repair I decided to delve further into apples and have discovered the following:
1. I need an apple core. I used one last night and today. At first I thought it was just an extravagance, but it makes my apple consumption easier. Quick press and you have a lovely sliced apple...be warned, push straight down or the core will slice sideways...whoops.
2. If you google the word apples, there are 38,400,000 results in 0.18 seconds. That is a lot of references to apples. That crazy company, you know the one with all those gadgets, appears a lot but there is truly a lot of crap out there regarding this fruit! However, this listing seems promising as a general guide to apple varieties.
3. People think I am insane. We all knew this before, but challenges really make people see how dedicated one can be to an odd topic. Not as many people are ready to embrace apples at every meal as I thought perhaps they would be, hmmm.
4. Does anyone remember my friend Trevor who came with me to roller derby once (at the Soccerplex) and put apples in his bell bottom overall pockets? When I think of this challenge I think of Trevor and his penchant for apples long before this challenge began.
I dunno, that's all I have today. Apples are controlling my life but all things considered it is a pretty good obsession.
Lastly, dinner! Grilled cheese on whole wheat bread from Christopher's (Westside Market), sharp NY cheddar, lavender goat chevre (from some CA creamery, SO good), and sauteed spinach...of course with a side of apple!
