sweet or
SOUR?

There’s a battle brewing in my house.  We live within 15 miles of two apple orchards.  We only have room for a 5lb. bag of apples each week.  This time of year, Crispins (green/golden apples) get my vote, while my husband seems single-mindedly obsessed with Braeburns (red apples).  I don’t care what color they are, but red apples tend to be sweeter.  We’ve finally taken to trading off weeks.  On my weeks, I get to eat my slightly sour raw green apples; on his weeks, we make apple tarts, pies & crisps out of the red variety.  I’m trying to embrace our differences–like the them of this next Call.  Take a look…
