I love my apples! I really do!
Now I even have a reason to rub them on my head!

Good stuff! Just reading the article made me want to go out and eat apples. I normally eat one a day, but DH has been buying organic grapes lately (he's the grocery shopper in our household since he's retired). I'll make sure he gets apples next time!

Have a Gala in my lunch box.
A couple of years ago I was up in Mass, and was told by a gal in my office to try to get a fresh picked Macintosh apple. Well our conference paid for a basket full to be delivered every day. They were wonderful, not mealy like the ones I get in the grocery. BUT, I brought one home, didn't eat it for a couple of days, and when I did - it was mealy! Apparently the shelf life of crunchyness is very short. Same as Red Delicious - fresh from the tree, they're wonderful, put them in storage then sell at the grocery - not so delicious.
Which is why I like Galas or Pink Ladies. We get some heirloom apples down from Arkansas at our local farmers market that are mightly tasty too.Beth

The trick to getting crisp apples in the grocery store is to smell them. A crisp apple will have no odor at all. If there's any sweet smell, it's on its way to mealy.
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Ha! Not everyone will be using them as a hair restorer! I hope...I'm giving my apples a good washing from now on.
