I went to the market today. I bought a bag of apples for 10 quetzales (about $1.25). This was a great deal. When I got home and washed them all, I realized that there were 18 apples in the bag. 18. EIGHTEEN. Now, I really like apples. Really. But even I am not sure if I can consume 18 apples before they start to be...unpleasant.
So, if anyone has any brilliant ideas for what else I can do with apples besides snack on them continuously for several days (keep in mind that I do not have an oven), please let me know.
Also, I bought 12 bananas. This was more of a conscious decision than the 18 apples, and I can generally find a way to consume 2 bananas a day, so this is slightly less of a problem. But 12 bananas AND 18 apples? I'm not so sure.
sometimes my eyes are bigger than my physical ability to consume produce.

Hi Rebecca,
I am really enjoying keeping up with you! Thanks for your well written, informative and entertaining entries. You conveyed a vibrant image of the man with the bureau tied to his head!
Re. the apples, you might want to consider apple sauce. No oven required. Cinnamon is useful.

Hi Marti -
Glad you're enjoying the blog! Thanks for the applesauce suggestion - my mom had thought of that as well and I am definitely considering it - especially because cinnamon is one of the three spices I actually have!

hey! apples are actually the most resilient of all fruits. they last forever. You should be able to go at least 2 weeks with them before they go bad. Keep hope alive! (also, get inventive and slice them up in fun ways! it helps me sometimes)
the bananas? Those will be terrible by the end of the week, if they aren't already.

The apples are doing okay so far; miraculously, so are the bananas! Only one banana left, though, and about 10 apples....

You should make cinnamon apples!! You can heat them in the microwave and mix in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and even oatmeal oats!! It is quite good. I know, rather random but still good. You can either do it in the microwave OR make cinnamon apples on the stove top. Hope this helps! miss you
