    This happened to me once but it was a nice lady with a little market outside her plants store that sold fruits and veggies. She was always so nice. One day I was walking by and out of the blue she was like “hey have a banana”

      If you’ve only eaten Red Delicious I could see how one would have that take. Gotta branch out and try different ones. Fuji, Macintosh, Pink Lady etc.

      There’s an Apple for you out there.

          Yeah Pink Lady are outrageously good. Store in the fridge. I normally preference crunch over taste, but Pink Lady has it all. A seriously good balance of sweet and sour, and arguably the best crunch in an apple.

          They’re a mixed bag. Some are good, others less so. My family spent a summer taste testing and rating apple varieties. Fuck [Diesel] Sweeties and their horrible chemical flavor.

          I also hate the artificial corporatized naming/branding of these apple varieties. Apples should never have a fucking registered trademark.

        One thing I love about my dad is his connection to and knowledge of nature. I have many memories of him bringing me random produce, slicing pieces off of them raw, and insisting I try them. Sometimes they’d be vegetables he got from his farmer friend, or something he grew in his garden that finally reached ripeness. Other times it’d be in-season fruits of different varieties, including non-standard apples. Macoun apples are one of his favorites, and always remind me of him.

      You should try an apple stand in a Seattle farmers market. A dozen kinds of apple each more amazing than the last. A good apple stand’s okay apples are several times better than the best grocery store apple

    A little thing I love is people’s houses. There are always so many details that talk about their history, the present occupants, the place. I can pass in front of the same building every day and still notice something new.

        My mom watches those home-buyer shows. I can’t. I just think about how I’d never be able to afford anything anywhere near that level. Then seeing people with ridiculous budgets complain about minor things they could easily change, like wallpapers or kitchen islands, feels like petty nonsense. I’m out here in a crappy, mouse-infested studio that I only managed to nab because I applied for it on the same day it was posted online - every other place already had wait lists, while I was living in my car.

        It must be so nice to afford to have standards in living conditions.

          So I do have a home now that I bought, but it’s an overpriced shack that’s falling apart if you breathe too loudly. I still feel the house envy.

          I walk past other peoples homes and boil with rage at families who bought their homes 10years earlier for a fraction of the price I paid, with tiny affordable mortgages that apparently didn’t entirely empty their wallets.

          Best financial risk Ive ever taken, but the bitterness of seeing others doing better simply because they bought earlier doesnt go away.

          And I know it’s not their fault. They’re technically in the same class as me, but a roll of the dice gave them a slightly easier life.

          But the actual villains who orchestrated all this are nowhere to be seen.

    I like to slice an apple, drizzle a little honey over the slices, and dip in peanut butter.

    It’s a perfect “I want something sweet” treat.
