No, I haven’t faltered on my resolution to eat 365 apples in 2009. I’m still eating apples, and I’m still taking photos of them, but I haven’t been updating the blog on my progress as well as I’d like. Now that I can sit up without being in lots of pain, I’m filling in the gaps.
Tonight I had two apples to help get me caught up. I think I should be at something like 92 apples and I’m at 88 now. Not too bad. I’ll get caught up in no time. Maybe in April I’ll focus on eating more than my monthly quota just to give myself some cushion. I’m very happy to be eating 87 and 88. I’ve had a rough week, and a nice bowl of cold, refreshing apples somehow makes me feel like all will be well with the world and with me.
Apples 86, 85 and 84 were BN (before neck) and to be honest, I just can’t remember much that happened before that. I think 86 was eaten while I was tired after a long day of discovering our neighborhood. I think I took a nap just after eating it, or maybe just before. Little did I know just how bad I was going to feel in the morning. I think I had a slightly sore neck then.
Apple 85 was eaten after going to Powell’s with Paul. We were cleaning up the house, getting ready for the housewarming party. I was very excited about the party and was busy making meatballs, kneading dough, and baking a honey cake. Apple 84 is a complete blank. If I took a clue from the photo, I’d say I was listening to records.
I know that I’ve got the apple count right because as I looked for recipes for making meatballs, I very confidently uploaded a photo of apple 83.
Here is apple 82
and apple 81
I remember being excited about this one because it was a golden delicious. I think I got it at the Whole Foods in the Pearl.
Well, I tried my best to get caught up. I’ll try to not get so behind again.
