Live blog = new article about...apples!

This probably would have been more helpful in January of 2011 than 2012 but who doesn't like articles.

This article speaks to the many benefits of apples and has some delicious sounding recipes too!

Thanks, New York Times!

All my apple eating love,

Final Tally

As we welcome 2012, we must also say goodbye to 2011 and 2011's Apple Challenge.

Congratulations to all who participated and extra superplus congratulations for the few who met the challenge of eating 365 apples during 2011. Of the 21 that originally started the year off with grandiose apple compumption plans, only six met the challenge. Six! Kudos to Mike, Carly, Kate, Apple Man, Appleseed and Bill who wound up in the apple eating elite.

Looks like 2012 will be challenge-free but just because we're not doing something organized doesn't mean you can't venture out on your own. Feel free to challenge yourself as you see fit. Perhaps we'll be back for a unified challenge in 2013.

I leave you with a photo of a T-shirt I got from Santa this Christmas that will keep the memory of Apple Challenge 2011 fresh for years to come:

Have a good 2012, all!
