Agreed! Heās got quite the personality (at least based on what his owner posts)!

I thought this was pretty amusing!
He apparentlyā¦āopened up on his diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorderā¦the disorder that the Mayo Clinic says gives people an āunreasonably high sense of their own importance.ā They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them,ā¦Cannonā¦spoke candidly while serving meals at the Los Angeles Missionās Thanksgiving celebration.ā
Iām glad he finally admitted he had a problem. And in doing so he created a new type of reality show. Nick Cannon. And his 12 kids with 6 different women. Thatās something to be proud of.

The last sentence says it all.
āThe Honeycrisp is a victim of its own success, and has become exactly what Bedford and Luby despised about the varietyās predecessors: a boring commodity apple.ā
But itās what we do. 
Iāll stick with Granny Smiths, Cortlands, and other tart, crisp apples.
Have you tried Cosmic Crisp? I never got the hype about honeycrisp, but mayhaps I had it when it was already ruined.

I think I tried one when they first came out, but not 100% sure.
Honeycrisp apples WERE great when they first came out, but were still a bit too expensive to buy regularly. When they became more readily available, I think I wasnāt buying them because everyone was. I veered towards antique apples, Northern Spy being a favorite (grew up having them available, but many markets stopped carrying them).

TBH Iām not big on apples, like, at all. I occasionally buy one or two thinking āhey, I should really add more fruit to my diet.ā Then they sit on the sill for sometimes longer than a month, bc apples in this country apparently last forever.
Thatās why Iām so excited about the mini apples I bought recently. Now we can proudly claim to eat 4-5 apples a day

My favorite this season has been Crimson Crisp.
Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?

Thanks for posting this! I used to love to bake the big, almost 1 pounders. The last few I bought were small and more tart than āhoneyā crisp.

Looks like my late cat, Sam. He had IBD. He maintained well for several years on meds, until he didnāt. He was my soulmate. Iām sorry for your loss. 
I lost my younger one a month ago, and now my old girl has a sonogram scheduled for Tuesday after bad bloodwork.
Yeah, Iām thinking about not getting any more after my newest kitten that I just got. Iāve got a veritable columbarium of cat ashes from 50 years of being owned.

I grew up eating Northern Spy. A local orchard grew them. They were my parents favored apples for pie making. I still love a crispy, tart apple over any other kind. Granny Smith used to be an acceptable substitute but theyāve become so blah.

If Iām buying them in a supermarket theyāre still the best bet for crisp, tart apples. At least for me.

Yeah. Iām in my mid 50ās and when my current feline owner, Mugsyā goes (heās around 14 or so), I MIGHT have time for one more. But that will likely be the last one I ever acquire.
I had a car accident last year that killed my 20 year old Toyota Matrix. I bought a used Mazda3 hatchback.
Thereās a very good chance it will be the last vehicle I ever own.
It is CERTAINLY the last āinternal combustion onlyā vehicle I will ever own. If I have to replace it in my remaining time, it will undoubtedly be a hybrid or electric.
