And That's That

My last apple along with some The Walking Dead marathon.


You look hungry, zombie, but it's mine. All mine!

Not a bad way to finish off the Challenge and the year.

We're all gonna die

The bacon challenge may have been healthier for us.

From the people that brought you the Honeycrisp...

We welcome the SweeTango: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/11/21/111121fa_fact_seabrook

I have not tried them yet because they were $3.29/lb at my co-op, making the Honeycrisp seem like a bargain but my next trip I am definitely picking up one or two!

make your tastebuds dance

At work today, I meandered down to the TriBeCa Greenmarket during lunch. I needed to pick up some more apples, and the Red Apple Orchard tent had tons of different varieties. The SweeTangos caught my eye with their fun name and relatively smaller size compared to the Hulk-sized Galas. I'd never heard of SweeTangos before. When I got back to the office I Googled the new apple. Turns out they're a brand spanking new variety. And they've got their own web site... and blog... and tagline!

Also, I just ate one and it's now my new favorite apple.

A Label That Cleans

Just when I thought sticker technology would never catch up to the rest of the world, Scott Amron via Amron Experimental, Inc. comes up with this fun/smart/practical produce label invention: http://inhabitat.com/fruitwash-produce-labels-that-turn-into-soap-to-wash-your-fruits-and-veggies/

Finally my apples will be labeled and clean!

If so, you should check out Cider Week -- http://appleproject.glynwood.org/ciderweek

Apples over bacon? NO, bacon over apples

Apples are way more healthy than bacon but, man, bacon takes a damn good photograph.
