Chicago is buried under a couple of inches of snow this week. I’ve been getting up every morning to shovel our sidewalk. It’s been a lot of work, but not all bad. Because we leave so early in the morning, I’m usually shoveling around 6:15 am. The sun is just starting to peek over the horizon around then. It’s quiet, no one else is shoveling, and the snow throws a lot of sparklies. A little quiet labor that early in the morning isn’t so bad.
Food-wise, we sure miss our Honeycrisp apples. Normally, we wouldn’t even be thinking about them around this time of year, except Jewel started to stock Ambrosia apples, which are an awful lot like Honeycrisps, but not quite. Just like Honeycrisps, Ambrosia’s are one of the newish super-apples developed by mad-cross-breeding-scientists in the 80’s and 90’s. For a little more information on Ambrosia apples, check out the government write-up.
