Confession: You are going to be seeing a lot of apples in the next few weeks.
Confession: I am totally obsessed with apples right now.
I already told you about my terrible habit of buying a million (or like…20) apples every time I go to the farmers market. But now you get to find out what exactly I do with all these apples. Sort of simultaneously with me figuring out what exactly I do with all these apples. Continue reading
