Candy is dandy but, fruit helps you poop.

Yesterday morning Elloise and I went to the fruit stand to get apples, peaches and tomato's. We were the first customers of the day. One of the biggest comparisons with the fruits stand vs. the supermarket is the down to earth customer service. I feel funny about using the phrase 'customer service" when talking about the fruit stands because it's so much more. At the supermarket the produce guy isn't going to pull out a knife to cut an apple and give you a piece to try. That's exactly what happens at the fruit stands that I'm so lucky to live close to. It feels more like he is a personal friend and I'm visiting his orchard. Getting to know who produces your produce is a lot more than making sure your getting a good product.

One of my favorite memories as a child was having an apple with my Grandma Jaramillo. She used to peel the apple for me. The funny thing was I liked to eat the peeling more than the apple, it always tasted sweet to me. As I'm peeling apples with my handy, dandy new gadget the apple peeler. I was thinking about how much I loved the peeling's from the apples my grandma had given me. I thought how sad that I'm wasting part of the apple and from my memories the tastiest part of the apple. I started thinking of ways to preserve the skin. I came up with an idea, not a healthy idea but, a very tasty idea.

I heated up some oil in a frying pan. I had some brown sugar in my pantry and i coated the apple peeling  and parts of the apples where the skin hadn't come off. I fried them for about ten minutes until they were a little crispy. Took them out layed them on a dish and put more brown sugar on top. KICK your mother it was so good! They didn't make it through the night because Madi devoured them.
