    corn ... it's at least five days old by the time it gets here.
    so ... I settle for canned; it's better than fresh.

    How about frozen?

    Yes, and I buy it too.

    Cosmic Crisp Apples $3.49/lb vs $2.49 for Gala, Fuji and Ambrosia

    How did their price compare to Honeycrisp?

    Honeycrisps are $3.99 this week. The price varies.

    a cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise apples.

    What's not to like?

    It took them years to get a hybrid that had the best qualities of
    both parents all the others were probably the worst of both.
    ³
    Back in³the day, Red Delicious was a decent apple.
    ³
    They were on³e the #1 variety and they were tasty, juicy and crispy
    with lots of³nicely balanced acidity and sweetness.
    ³
    From Wikiped³a: "the apple's popularity encouraged commercial
    growers to i³creasingly select for longer storage and cosmetic
    appeal rather than flavor and palatability, which resulted in a less
    palatable fruit. In particular the selection of redder fruit caused
    deselection of flavor, and the genes that produced the yellow
    stripes on the original fruit were on the same chromosomes as those
    for the flavor-producing compounds. Breeding for uniformity and
    storability favored a thicker skin."

    Why just kids?

    Probably the:

    Miniature marshmallows
    Maraschino cherries, halved
    Cool whip
    ³
    ³ make mine with assorted chopped fresh fruit, plain yogurt and a
    ³odest amount of honey. Roslind often adds vanilla and I sometimes
    add a small splash of liquor or a liqueur.

    Cheers

    Jim


    ... Real brandy does not taste like fruit flavoured vodka.
