So, does that mean you will not be meeting us at 2:22pm on 2/22/22 on Tuesday in Tucson for Tacos?

Well, it appears its that time of year again to reread "Zen in the Martial Arts by Joe Hyams"

Try opal apples. They don’t keep well but if you eat them soon they are exquisite.

Will look for them. We have a gravenstein tree that produces pretty good apples. Gravensteins aren't very common in stores because they have a short season and also don't keep as well. But they are tart and make great pies.

Those are my all time favorite. I grew up on them. My friends have an orchard of huge Gravensteins. We used to get a buck in there every year.

I gave it to my mom when she did Kendo.

I find the Honey Crisps overrated.

Honey crisps are great for eating, but they retain so much juice it's hard to make a good pie with them. They end up making the bottom crust too soggy. I bet you could to a good cobbler, though. Hmmm...

That's a good idea. I'll have to find that bad boy in my closet.

You guys read that. I'll pull out my copy of Cruel Shoes, by Steve Martin. We'll see who's wiser at the end.

Spoiler: Spoiler

It will not be me.

On a Tuesday, no less.

I think you mean a Twosday, Steve.

Sheesh. Learn to spell, man!

I don't think I've had a Cosmic Crisp, but I agree, anyway.

They are always a little too sweet for me, but for some reason I'm always okay with that. I love how juicy they are, and they just crunch nicely.

To me they are not much different from Gala apples.
for baking I prefer Grany Smiths

I told my wife, that's like explaining the punchline. A pun isn't funny if you literally spell it out.

She asked, "Are puns ever funny?"

Twoshay, I guess.

I don't think I've had a Cosmic Crisp, but I agree, anyway.

Cosmic Crisps are a new kind of apple, a hybrid between Honeycrisp and Enterprise. It's naturally resistant to disease, very resistant to bruising and browning, and has a long shelf life before becoming mealy. It's also pretty tasty.

Fun fact, they are hybrids, not GMO. I don't understand the difference, but I am told there is one.

Granny Smith is the gold standard for pies.

I think our wives would agree firmly on that.

She still doesn't understand that a groan counts as applause.
