Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for October 7, 2005
- 1. Have you been apple picking yet this year?
- Sadly, no. Even though the weather has been beautiful for the last few weekends, we have had other things to do.
- 2. Where do you go to buy or pick your apples?
- For the last few years I've gone to Tougas Family Farm in Northborough. I've been looking for farms in the Lowell area, but obviously haven't gotten very far.
- 3. What is your favorite variety of apple?
- I think Gala is probably my favorite to eat fresh. Empires are my favorite for baking.
- 4. How do you like to eat your apples (fresh, dipped in caramel, baked into a pie, etc)?
- I love them fresh, sometimes dipped in peanut butter, but I'll take them any way I can get them. I'm a big fan of apple crisp and dutch apple pies though.
- 5. They say an apple-a-day keeps the doctor away. When was the last time you saw your doctor?
- A little over two weeks ago.

My favorite is a Valstar. What a great apple, tart, but sweet and juicy. I had my first Valstar three years ago. The local orchard did not pick any again to this year. The season is short, but what a great apple.
The rest of the year - a Gala or a Braburn will have to do.
