Coincidentally, I just cut open ANOTHER apple from the same group and THAT was moldy too!
So I said to HELL with YOU, Apples!  And I picked up a Banana and a Blueberry Activia instead!

[too-old]

I think the vegetables and fruits are staging a revolution

Well, the apples certainly are revolting!

[Flan]

No, no... you're thinking of the peasants.

[senor pantalones-fantastico]

fred buntz, the only commonality between the eating of these two apples was YOU

[Dana Cruz de Leon]

Well I am going apple picking in two weeks to pick some sweet, sweet honey crisps, and I'll make sure to ask for the moldy ones to ship to my bud buntz. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to oblige!

[Dianna O]

I love honey crisps!  I didn't even know what they were until my daughter had a unit on apples last year so we had to buy a whole bunch of different apples and fill out a graph about the similarities and differences and that one was our favorite.

Mmmmm honeycrisps......

[strawbury78 (Lelia)]

we had an Granny Smith apple tree in our yard once. It died and fell over. The end.

[senor pantalones-fantastico]

worst apples ever

[Dianna O]

Apple snob.

[strawbury78 (Lelia)]

good with salt :)

[Michele]

apples and salt? i'm a saltaholic and i never even heard of this

/loves granny smith apples

[fred buntz]

Ok, I just bought a "bag of red delicious" apples.  If you buy them individually they're as big as your fist but 7 or 8 cost about $10!
The pre-bagged kind are tiny but they give 100 of them and it only costs $4

What's up with that?

[Michele]

I don't like red delicious. my kids like em, not me. I like my apples crunchy and almost sour.

[Dana Cruz de Leon]

Granny Smith apples are the best ones to make PIE

They don't get mushy and they stay a bit tart, best with a caramel drizzle and homemade crusts.

[senor pantalones-fantastico]

that's the ONLY use for them

I would agree. Next on the list are Rome apples. Icky to eat but awesome to make apple cake.

[Dianna O]

What are those other green ones that are just a bit sour and delicious?  I know 'em when I see 'em at the store, but I can never remember outside of the grocery store....

[Dana Cruz de Leon]

I think you're thinking of Golden Delicious, where they have a bit of green tinge but not exactly, a tart start but finish sweetly. Those usually have 'freckles' on them and can range in color from pretty greenish to almost bright yellow.

[Dianna O]

Yes!  Exactly!

[Michele]

McIntosh?

[Dianna O]

I thought those were red?

[fred buntz]

Oh you're on the pipe!

Red Delicious are the crispiest apples in the world!  They CRACK when you bite them and the juice pours out of them!
I like eating them because they're so crunchy and filling it's like the Quarter-Pounder of the apple community!!

[Dana Cruz de Leon]

There are Red Delicious and there are Golden Delicious - two separate species  :)

[Dana Cruz de Leon]

Oh no, my dear buntz, HONEY CRISP are the way to go if you like crisp and juicy apples!

[Michele]

there's so many ways i can go with that whole email.....

[strawbury78 (Lelia)]

I also put salt on my oranges. And yeah, that apple story sucked...it was supposed to :) I'm on pain meds...don't pay attention to me at th emoment.

[Cheesy Feasy]

The only apples we have are all mealy.  It makes me cry at night and consider not being too lazy to go grocery shopping.

[Dianna O]

IT'S THE FEAS!

[Michele]

YO FEAS, WHAT UP?

How are things in NC?  Josh is too good to IM me now that he's living in sin?

[Flan]

I gotta look for them out here.  I just discovered Pacific Rose apples, which were amazing in the spring - big, juicy, and sweet.  The Pacific Rose ones I got the other day were smaller and not as yummy.

Apple discovery is a whole new thing to me, since I've been allergic to apples (any fruit with an edible skin, really...) for about the past 15 or so years.  Now that I can eat fruit again, I'm going all sorts of crazy trying new varieties.

You don't realize how much you miss something until it's gone.

[Cheesy Feasy]

YO YO.  SUP BITCHES.

Stuff is fine here, I'm still working on unpacking.  Slowly.  I am working on my closet.  IT WOULD HELP IF JOSH WOULD HELP GET MY HEAVY BOXES UP THE STAIRS.

And Josh says: "Hey bitch, it's because Korinna is always on the computer!"

Please note that this is a lie.  He spends like half the evening on the laptop while I watch Dog the Bounty Hunter and Jon and Kate Plus 8.

[fred buntz]

Lord, thats how I feel about every food now that I can't eat ANYTHING anymore.

I never thought I was a big snacker or dessert person but now that I'm not allowed to eat anything I realize how much I used to eat and I miss the things that I only ate even rarely!

A french fry.....
Some jelly beans.....
ANYTHING.....

I hate the prospect of death :(

Hey Feas, are you getting yourself some kind of Lawyerin' job down there??

[Cheesy Feasy]

Uhhhh maybe eventually.  It wouldn't be a lawyer job though, screw that noise.  I'll temp or something.

[Flan]

Shoulda called me.  I was in Raleigh this past weekend.

I would have come over and help Josh mock you relentlessly.

[Cheesy Feasy]

You have to let me know these things Flan, I am not psychic except on bank holidays

[Flan]

It was a whirlwind tour that involved lots and lots of alcohol over Friday and Saturday night.

From what people told me, I had a lot of fun.

[Cheesy Feasy]

You're a rock star, flan

[Dianna O]

Hmmmm..... cheesy flan.... interesting....

[Leah (AlabamaGirl)]

I just made banana pudding

[strawbury78 (Lelia)]

mmmmm pudding

[Leah (AlabamaGirl)]

with whipped cream!

[strawbury78 (Lelia)]

Send me some please, I need dessert

Banana pudding is tasty to eat, and makes a wonderful substitution for shaving cream if you want to give yourself a Full Brazilian.

Chicken and apple brats are delicious.

Chicken bratwurst? Heathen. You haven't lived until you've eaten currywurst. Let me know..I'll send you the mix you can make.  I'll have to translate the instructions though.

I'm having chocolate ice cream right now.

[Dianna O]

I'm about to leave work, but I'm concerned about what I should make for dinner.....

[Leah (AlabamaGirl)]

I have a sore throat now, to go with my ear infection. Nothing really sounds good, but the cold ice cream is ok.

[fred buntz]

Did I say it was "sad" I wasn't getting any e-mails?

/re-reads the last 3 e-mails.......
//sighs....loudly

[Leah (AlabamaGirl)]

well, what do you want?

[fred buntz]

I WANNA ROCK!
Turn it down you say, well all I got to say to you is time again I say, "No! No! No, No, No, No, No!"
Tell me not to play, well, all I got to say to you when you tell me not to play, I say, "No! No! No, No, No, No, No!"
So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it, there's only one thing I can say to you

[Dana Cruz de Leon]

buntz, YOU ROCK!

/just don't rawk out with your cawk out. Might scare the kiddies.

[fred buntz]

You know the funny thing?  The first time I ever heard that expression "Mrs. Roethlisberger" said it to be at the Pittsburgh Fark Summer Picnic LAST year.

I guess I have a way with the hottie TFettes!

[Dianna O]

I miss her.  Somebody please lure her out of hiding.

[Flan]

I'm just waiting for someone else to change their gmail address.

[deke]

i should change mine just because

[fred buntz]

What?  I talk to her all the time!  She was never a big "commenter" to begin with.
Submit a thread that starts with "Pittsburgh, Steeler," or "Roethlisberger" and she'll show up. 
It's like the Bat symbol to her.

[Dianna O]

Hahaha..... well I did email her a few months ago and she never responded. We got to know each other in the American Idol threads, in which she commented profusely.  :D

Anyway... I guess if she didn't respond, maybe she doesn't want to talk to me.... :(

[fred buntz]

Hell no!  She doesn't have a mean bone in her body (except when it's someone else's!  Boo yeah!  Yeah, I went there).
She used to talk about you so much I, at one time, thought you were her sister (I know she's on Fark too but I didn't know her name).
Turns out you're not her sister.  Not sure if you knew that.

[Leah (AlabamaGirl)]

where is MD anyway

[deke]

she changed her email address again.  the one she has attached to this group is no longer in use

[fred buntz]

Maybe she got a NEW Gmail and didn't tell us??

Nahhhhh.....

[Leah (AlabamaGirl)]

guess I didn't get the memo

[Flan]

And new people she hardly knows who just happened to be in her address book?!

OH NOES!

[Dianna O]

I know she's not a meanie!  She's the sweetest thing evar... which is why I <3 her.

If we are sisters, then our mom has some 'splainin to do, considering how I'm a Great White Mutt and she's Persian.  :D

Anyway, next time you talk to her, tell her I said hey.... or hell, invite her to the group!  "I'm sorry, it's a group about what?"

[fred buntz]

I will!  Everytime we "try" to organize a Pittsburgh Fark party, her, me and 4 other people are the ONLY ones to EVER show up (it's all very depressing).  We've even given up posting threads about them and we simply e-mail each other because it got too annoying seeing nothing but the "Steelers Fat Girl Picture" in every thread :|

[Dianna O]

Oh lawdy.....

The DFW people post threads, but Green D always sends out an email to a bunch of us so we can go squeeze out the whiners.... "Waaaaah how come you didn't do it MY way waaaaaaaah!!!"  :)

Anyway.  I'm so glad you're takin care of my girl.... I miss her.

[Michele]

i'm on the tail end of an awesome vacation. Flying home tomorrow

Fark party, but no one is interested. :-(

[strawbury78 (Lelia)]

i'm still around. It's been a terrible week for my family. My Grandpa passed away Monday. His services just began on Thursday. I actually have to get up in 5 hours for the funeral, then drive 4 hours right outside of Pigeon Forge, TN for his burial service.  It has been a draining time emotionally. My Dad isn't doing well with this, and I'm sorta afraid of his reaction in the morning to the funeral. He's had heart issues today pretty bad...

And blah, i'm writing my life story here. *sigh* sorry.  Just overwhelmed at the moment.

I'll check in again when we return home...Monday.

[Flan]

My condolences.

Best of luck with all the travel and getting past this.

[Leah (AlabamaGirl)]

I am so sorry to hear this.

And it's ok to share, grief is never easy.

*hug*

[Dana Cruz de Leon]

I am so sorry Lelia

This has been a tough year or so for you, I really hope all the rough stuff is behind you now.

Your family is in my thoughts.

On the up side, I can only think of a few other places prettier and more serene to be than Pigeon Forge, TN. It is truly a place of wonder (or it was for me, anyway, and not because of Dollywood either).

HUGS

Dana 

(TFette Bizarro)

[strawbury78 (Lelia)]

Thank you all for the hugs, thoughts and prayers. It was a difficult thing to go through, but I'm now realizing he isn't in pain anymore, and that makes it a little easier to handle. The funeral was beautiful. He had full military rights and the flag was handed to my Uncle. There are pictures we will all get in a few weeks.

My Dad made it through alright, but after the funeral, he hugged me and just lost it. We were both a sobbing mess. He has slept ever since getting home :(

Our trip went well, and was very needed. Helped me get my mind off of things. Pigeon Forge is very beautiful (and yes, we visited Dollywood lol) but you know, there's no place like home.

Let's hope the rest of the year is better!

[sokeri TF]

I guess I should log into this account more often... (but I've missed a lot on the internets the last few weeks)
I'm so sorry for your loss.

[Flan]

Anybody changing their email address tonight?

I'm bored.

:(

[Michele]

i'm nursing a head cold and waiting for a tropical storm.  my life is a bounty of endless fascination.

[fred buntz]

I could start a conversation about the problems I'm dealing with in my life right now, health-wise and some "drama" I'm dealing with as a "Stay at home dad"
But something tells me going into all of it will make you hate yourself for asking  :)

[Flan]

Oh yeah... you're gonna get pounded.  And not in that awesome, shameful way.

Be careful.
