Pink Pearl Apple.

I took my son to the market this morning. It was one of those rare times when it is just him and I together. He was an absolute peach. He was so very chatty with everyone he encountered. He picked out the apple above. He ended up eating a couple of them for lunch. Then we took some other apples and chopped them up and cooked them down to make applesauce. I told him that we will try and go to the market again together next week. Just the two of us. He seems to behave a little better when he gets some one on one time.

what kiddo wouldn't want one-on-one time with you? From here it looks like you're a pretty kick-ass mum

Yeah but I am a Mum. I have to be the hard-ass too.

Now you've done it. Was this at one of those produce stands right near the entrance on Pike street? Must find out what's going on with the pink pearl apples.

I got them at the Broadway Sunday Market. Jones Creek Farm sells them. (they also sell at the University Market on Saturday)

Because I was the only boy my mother always made sure we got some one-on-one time and oftne went to do things the girls might find boring, like see a movie or go on walks staring at old houses (this is where I get it from).We are still close and like to do those things on the rare occasions we see each other.

These are grand activities. So far it turns out he likes to point out birds and find out what they are.

How lovely!
One regret is not spending enough time with just my son. My husband was always working and most of my friends already had enough kids to handle--sans babysitting.

Yeah it is kind of hard to make the time.

*sigh* apple <3
i'll have to see if that has managed to make it out to the wilds of toronto yet. i may have to pine away with unrequited love.

did it taste as wonderous as it looks?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It was tart and had a good bite to it.

and i never got around to saying how delicious those clove-spiked peaches looked.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

They taste pretty good too.

That is one crazy looking apple. I'm dying to see what the skin looks like up close. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like an internal organ sans the gore.
