Apple trees don’t grow true from seed, that’s why every Gala is a clone of a Gala, every Honeycrisp a clone of a honeycrisp, etc. I assume this hearty wild apple growing on the bike trail near brownie lake is a spontaneous miracle, nice bitterness and tastes like a chestnut crabapple.

Good heavens. Elle Decor, “languish” doesn’t mean what you think it does. “An oversize tub perfect for languishing” !! Though I suppose if I wanted to grow weak and fade away, that bathtub would do.

I put on season one of Get Smart to give out candy to, and I’m here to say that the 1965 Ford Zebra Mustang in Satan’s Place, episode 9… might be some kind of underlying architecture of my soul that i didn’t know was there. that’s it! That’s the car that formed my understanding of all cars

This bowl has had a lot of good Halloweens. Reflections from tonight: The heath bars taste deflavorized, one inch peanut butter cups are the optimal size, and watermelon sour patch kids are, oddly, the perfect flavor for a rainy Halloween.
