Around here, they and Grannys' are the last to be ready. The orchards close for the season the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Maybe you could find them at an orchard near your house.

I found the Pink Lady apples! I was confused because they said New York on them and I thought they were from Australia. So I got one. I haven't eaten it yet.
For breakfast I had a Red Grapefruit that I bought yesterday. Ewwww! I hated it. So bitter, even with half a Tablespoon of sugar on it. It was really hard to peel, I had to use a knife, and I made a mess all over the table. I like sour food like rhubarb & kumquats, but not bitter like this.
For lunch we are going out to lunch before the dentist. I don't know where, it's over in another county and I don't know what restaurants they have.
Yes. And when they're good, they're almost as sweet as candy.
Since you didn't like it with sugar, try a piece without sugar. It's possible the sugar just make the difference between sweet and bitter more noticeable. Do try it again, as you may learn to like it. Or maybe not.
Found this video, btw:
Good luck at the dentist.
You'll love it!!!

Never! That was the worst tasting thing I ever ate.
Thanks. I wish I had that video before I tried to peel it. It was a disaster.
Thank you.
Tonight, scrambled eggs and biscuits. I'm cheating and using the frozen biscuits that I keep for when I just don't want to bake. And Lord knows, tomorrow I'll be baking enough to last me awhile. I have three pies to do, AND the cornbread for my stuffing! It has to be baked, cooled, crumbled, and left out to get stale.
Which reminds me...I better go get a couple of tablespoonfuls of bacon drippings out of the freezer for the cornbread! Every time I cook bacon, I put the drippings in a special ice cube tray and freeze them. Each "cube" is about 2 tablespoons of drippings. Make it very handy for cooking!

I could go for that, it sounds delicious.
My Aunt told me that I should have put salt on the grapefruit instead of sugar. Maybe I will try it one more time.
For lunch I had a veggie omelet at a diner. It was $10! Geez prices are high these days. It was good though, it even had broccoli in it.
For dinner I had a frozen Performance Kitchen Roasted Cauliflower Mac & Cheese bowl from Walmart. It was pretty good. I didn't realize it was gluten free.

Use salt not sugar to make tart things taste sweeter. There's a whole science behind it:

You can also try grapefruit cups. They're not tart at all. Dole is one brand that uses 100% juice, not some sugary syrup. Dole® Red Grapefruit Sunrise - Get Coupon & Order Today! Some supermarkets may have their own daily fresh fruit cups in the produce section.
I threw together a dinner of frozen chicken strips and a boiled egg. Tomorrow will probably be ramen. I am not going to the supermarket tomorrow with the crazy last minute Thanksgiving dinner shoppers
Grapefruit And Salt: The Science Behind This Unlikely Power Couple
Ad campaigns of the first and second world wars sold Americans on this surprising pairing. Despite a rocky history of breakups, these two flavors have chemistry that cannot be denied.

Today was a crazy busy day...pumpkin pie and apple raisin pie and a big peanut butter cheesecake plus my dressing are all done!Tonight was easy...he had a couple of hotdogs and some baked beans and I had a piece of leftover chicken.I am beat!
Cookies baked, a pie done, and then for supper I dumped some picante sauce, canned green beans, frozen peas and canned mushrooms in the frypan with cubed chicken.

I think I'll make an Amy's roasted veggie pizza for dinner tonight with some black olives and half of a thinly sliced shallot added. So good.

Maybe I will get the grapefruit cups and put salt on them. It would be much easier than peeling one again.
For breakfast I had 2 slices of toast with peanut butter and a little clementine orange. It wasn't the healthy kind of peanut butter, it was the one with hydrogenated oil. Tasty though...
What kind of peanut butter do you guys use? Is it the healthy natural type?
Have you tried these? They are very good for frozen. Way better than the ones in the can. I cannot stand those.

With the cups, you don't need to add salt.They're sweet enough as is. But try one first and then decide if a little salt would help.
A sharp knife helps with getting through thick citrus fruit peels if you want segments. If you don't need easy to eat segments, just slice the fruit in half or wedges and then cut away the peel with a knife.
I use Skippy peanut butter. There's a "natural" no-stir version of it. I've never tried the organic type stuff that needs stirring before you use it.
I forgot I had a pasta meal-in-a-box thing in the cupboard (Modern Table, veggie-friendly and gluten free). Maybe I'll have that instead of ramen.

For lunch I had a veggie sandwich. I did a better job on this one, I didn't overstuff it like I usually do.
Brioche bread untoasted, mayo, extra sharp cheese, lettuce, 1 hard boiled egg, and these new Beefsteak Tomatoes that I absolutely love! They are huge. As soon as I saw them, I knew they were for me.
Not sure why they call them Beefsteak tomatoes! Weird name.

pan fried tilapia and brussels sprouts, and cottage cheese. Trying to keep it a little lighter before tomorrow LOL
Just some IKEA veggie balls and french fries tonight. And probably a clementine or 2 for dessert. I also make Black Bean Brownies today, so likely one of those too.

Those look like little balls of veggie burgers. Is that what they taste like?
For dinner I had a Burger King Impossible Vegetarian Whopper with cheese for the 2nd time. I loved it. I hear they got sued because they cook them on the same grill as the meat. Maybe they will buy a separate grill now, it's only fair. I read that these were a massive seller, so they can afford to.
Now you are talking like a vegetarian. I also liked the Impossible Whopper but I won't buy it again until they get a separate grill. I ordered 3 of them and I had to wait half an hour for them to cook separate. If I had known that the other veggie burgers was cooked on the same grill I would not have gotten them. I am glad they are being sued. They are not vegan burgers or even vegetarian.
