That's a bummer...But man, if McDonald's can't make it in NYC, no one can.
...and, honestly, I've never heard that set of lyrics to "New York, New York."

The problem with Honeycrisp apples: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-curse-of-the-honeycrisp-apple?utm_source=pocket-newtab
The article mentions the Esopus Spitzenberg. I planted one of these, and a Sops of Wine apple, when we bought our house. They are heirloom varieties and both produce delicious, spicy fruit. If you have a yard and want to plant an apple tree, I can recommend either of those.

I wish I had had the foresight to do that 13 years ago. It's probably too late now, as there is a chance I won't be here long enough to really enjoy them. I think it takes up to 10 years for some varieties to start producing apples.
Still, maybe I should go ahead and plant one. I'd hate to still be here 8 years from now, lamenting the fact that I did not do it. And even if I move, the new owners will probably love having an apple tree.

Do it! You can buy decent sized trees from mail order companies that will produce fruit in in just a few years, well under 10. I bought whips, so they took longer to produce, but I knew I had the time to wait. I never got around to pruning them (or any of the other fruit trees) this past winter, so they aren't producing as well this year. The pear tree and quince trees are loaded, however, and the peach tree looks like it might actually hang on to its fruit this year. That would be amazing, because it has dropped all of it's fruit before they get as big as a golf ball for as long as I have had it. I almost cut it down last year, but when it blooms in the spring it is absolutely gorgeous.

I'd like to know what the name of the sauce is I accidentally recreated, because I've tasted it before: I combined a red pasta sauce, vegan dressing (substitute for mayo and it really does taste like mayo), garlic powder and salt.
It makes eating spaghetti and meatballs infinitely better.

Sounds like a variation on a tomato and cream sauce. I've never heard of it made with mayo before, so maybe it's an original and you can name it after yourself!

When I was in grad school and my wife was finishing college, we didn't have a ton of money. We used to drink red wine with dinner, cut by 50% with cold water, and we dubbed it "vin-aqua". Little did we know we were drinking history!

University of Texas at San Antonio was digitizing their large collection of historic, Mexican recipes/cookbooks. Then C-19, hit and slowed the project down. But, they have released 55 of the books as free e-books! I'm definitely checking it out.
