 JW> corn ... it's at least five days old by the time it gets here.
 JW> so ... I settle for canned; it's better than fresh.

 DS> How about frozen?

Yes, and I buy it too.
    
 JW> Cosmic Crisp Apples $3.49/lb vs $2.49 for Gala, Fuji and Ambrosia

 DS> How did their price compare to Honeycrisp?

Honeycrisps are $3.99 this week. The price varies.

 JW> a cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise apples.

 DS> What's not to like?

It took them years to get a hybrid that had the best qualities of
both parents all the others were probably the worst of both.
            ³
 DS> Back in³the day, Red Delicious was a decent apple.
            ³
They were on³e the #1 variety and they were tasty, juicy and crispy
with lots of³nicely balanced acidity and sweetness.
            ³
From Wikiped³a: "the apple's popularity encouraged commercial
growers to i³creasingly select for longer storage and cosmetic
appeal rather than flavor and palatability, which resulted in a less
palatable fruit. In particular the selection of redder fruit caused
deselection of flavor, and the genes that produced the yellow
stripes on the original fruit were on the same chromosomes as those
for the flavor-producing compounds. Breeding for uniformity and
storability favored a thicker skin."

 DS> Why just kids?
 DS> Title: Kids Fruit Salad

Probably the:

 DS> Miniature marshmallows
 DS> Maraschino cherries, halved
 DS> Cool whip

³ make mine with assorted chopped fresh fruit, plain yogurt and a
³odest amount of honey. Roslind often adds vanilla and I sometimes
add a small splash of liquor or a liqueur.

Cheers
