I showed Owen how to use

Silly Cash. Don't you know better? Wait for him to figure out how to use it himself. That'll give you at least two, three hours.

I've been doing pretty well with fruit intake. I've developed a daily habit of a frozen fruit/Carnation instant breakfast smoothie in the morning. I still need to work on the veggies though. I'm in the process of trying to change up what my go-to meals are since my body started reacting unpleasantly to milk/cheese.

The upside of this is that he fixed a sticky button on our PS3 controller. I know he'd have figured this out on his own eventually.

The reason I know this is that last week, he figured out how to access the web on my Blackberry, by doing a Google search on my browser for "Youtube" he found made his way to the mobile site, did a search for his favorite reviewer and spent the next half hour watching Youtube videos on my phone.

I grew up on fresh apples, so I have a really hard time eating spermarket apples now. I love Ida Reds, Macs and Cortlands.

Have people here heard of/eaten Chicken French? Someone told me that it was a Rochester specific recipe (like white hots), but that seems odd to me.

I worked a season in an apple orchard. I am a total apple snob.

Me, too!

I prefer the softer apples for snacking but they have short shelf life--Paula Reds are awesome but have a really short season.

I think Galas are my favorite.

Me too, erika. That's what we get all the time at this point.

I had leftovers from last night for dinner -- lentil and mushroom stew over mashed cauliflower and potatoes, with a side of braised chard. I'm pondering a clementine for dessert. (And I had a banana at breakfast, and lunch was a salad and blueberries, so I think I'll be somewhere around 7 fruit and vegetable servings by the time today is over. Woo!)

Doubling back to a previous conversation about lipstick: both "Bruised" and "Almost Black" by NYX are too brown for me. (My order just arrived in the mail.) Back to finding people who want to swap for tubes of Chanel Vamp.
