Waiting for the pot

Which looks the yummiest? Right now, the Macs are prime (on the right). There's nothing like the crunch of a crisp Macintosh on a blustery October day. The Macouns (on the left) are a close second, but since they store longer, they will have to wait. And lastly, the heritage Baldwin, our longest storing apple (in the middle) will be the last variety we eat. In the meantime, I'll make up a big batch of rosy applesauce with the Macs. Callie isn't too particular. She'll eat any bit of apple--they're all good to her!

The apples give my cellar a lovely aromatic smell. And it's a comfort to see all the fruit and vegetables stored down there for the coming winter ahead.
