UBC hosted its annual Apple Festival this past weekend, showcasing the splendor and variety of this lovely fruit. I was sorry to have missed it, but what happened today made up for it.
On my way home from the
Central City Library, I stopped by Save-On Foods because I was craving cake in the worst way. I figured that if I could look at the cakes and smell them, it would be sufficient sensory input to simulate having eaten the cakes. It's vaguely pornographic, I know. Anyhow, as I exited the store, I found everything really expensive. I feel like inflation could not have happened that quickly and I must be unaccustomed to purchasing food. Experts claim it takes 21 days to make or break a habit and tomorrow will be twice that number of days (yay!).
I felt satiated. It worked. I decided to take the woodsy way home, down 100th street. This is where I noticed a number of yard waste garbage bags and what, in the darkness, looked like a potato on top? I began to dig through the yard clippings. Apples. Wild organic apples with some spots. I grabbed as many as I could fit in my bag and the ones without slugs and sludgy bits. Guess who was going to have some dessert before the night's end?
