I LOVE MY PRODUCE STORE! It caters to lots of ethnic cuisines... they have neat peppers and greens and fruits from all over. I had never cut up a pineapple until this summer, but when they got to 99 cents each I felt I had to give it a try! I tend not to buy them when the price soars above $3 each, but that is rare. Actually, lots of the fruit is so much cheaper than regular stores. I shop there every week now. Not only that, but it is not uncommon for employees to go through and cull the bad fruit!
Hehe Dance! When my DS was little, we actually did go apple picking in fall! We'd come back with tons of them, then wash them all up (culling out the not-so-good-looking ones) and take them in to his school to share. We did that a couple of times a year until he was in 2nd grade and suddenly lost interest.
Ok, folks, I tried the Gala this morning. It, too, was mighty tasty, but I think I liked the Fiji just a bit better. The Gala had a little undertaste of peach. Sort of a hard-peach texture, too. Not a bad thing, but just a bit disconcerting.
But both of them were yum yum yummy! And I'd do either of them again!
On to the Macintosh (or is it an Empire?) that's still sitting in the basket! That poor little Red Delicious is going to get mighty jealous with all these new models coming in!
Yah that's a hard one! I used to not like fruit very well either but once I got started on it and not eating junk I have learned to really LIKE a lot of it... and LOL yah the caramel dip and peanut butter kind of defeats the purpose, huh?
I have lurked and watched this apple board since it started. I had always been a gala apple fan. Reading this apple board made me want an apple so when I walked into the store today I went straight to where the apples were. I seen my gala's but I have heard a few of y'all talk about the Fuji apple being sweet and tasty. I like sweet and tasty, especially sweet. Right by the Gala was the Fuji so I bought the Fuji apples instead.
OMG!! I just could not believe how crispy SWEET & JUICY the Fuji apple was. When I took a bite into this apple the juice just literally ran down my arm and it was MMMM MmMmMm mmmmm GOOD!!!!
Okay I am sold. Gala has moved into second place by Fuji taking first place!
well, at least peanut butter has some great nutrients for you. I normally eat peanut butter when I'm running low on fat and protein. It's really a great pick-me-up!
I didn't get to the store today, so no Fuji for me, but I raved so much about it yesterday, even my DH said, "Dang! Now I want an apple!!!" And he's worse about fruit than I ever was (I can almost imagine him telling his mom "Fruit Loops do too count as fruit!")!!!
I am stunned at so many people saying they like Fuji apples! LOL to me they are soooooo tasteless and poor texture. Good thing there are so many varieties, since there are so many varieties of US LOL

I eat PB a few times a week...a controlled amount! I usually eat very lean proteins and use it as my fat! Plus I love it.
And now I might have to go get a Fuji out of the fruit bowl! YUM! Ooops, I'm done eating for the day...
I eat PB for breakfast almost every day... the all natural kind and just enough to cover one piece of dark toast; also put Smuckers 100% fruit spread on it and have a banana... yum
