At one time, there were so many apple orchards in my are that they named one of the villages Apple Valley.

I like all apples, depending on my mood and if I am eating them or baking. the asian ones are a bit more "watery" (for lack of a better word). I wouldn't normally cook with them and prefer them raw as a snack.Nora B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04360757422555317095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31475215.post-12114585037825699592007-10-02T01:30:00.000-07:002007-10-02T01:30:00.000-07:00hee hee, that papa pear looks almost white! defini...hee hee, that papa pear looks almost white! definitely looks juicy, though! :) didn't find my favourite pear on the chart - poire williams, which is easily found here in autumn. they are extremely sweet and fragrant, but fragile since they bruise easily.Shilpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775487084298169773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31475215.post-48994377374831364472007-10-01T23:54:00.000-07:002007-10-01T23:54:00.000-07:00Tigerfish, good afternoon from kuala lumpur, we wo...Tigerfish, good afternoon from kuala lumpur, we would love to have them all and baked more delicious dessert!...lolBig Boys Ovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498466785947937265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31475215.post-4667405736290563092007-10-01T23:32:00.000-07:002007-10-01T23:32:00.000-07:00Wow.
