I love seasonal fruit. It starts in August with our Palisade peaches. But my favorite is a crunchy fall apple. I don’t love cooked apples – but give me a Jonathan any day (they aren’t easy to find). Are there some things you like one way (like a fresh apple) but you really don’t like another way (like an apple pie or cooked apples). Speaking of liking things one way or another – I sure do like things better when they are on sale or free.
