Food Find: McDonald's Fried Apple Pie

In 1992, McDonald's replaced their hot crispy yummy apple pies with a baked version, and the world grew dim...

BUT, if you should find a McDonald's that is just too small to have an oven on site, you might just be fortunate enough to be able to order one of these tasty dinosaurs of the past with the crispy shell, and the hot gooey sweet filling.  I found this one at the Corner Mall food court in Downtown Boston, where they are sold 76 cents apiece (85 cents after tax), or two for $1.25 ($1.34).

Sure, they've become slimmer over the years, but they are still a tasty treat to enjoy now and again.

Food Find: Persimmon

I've been running into this new to me fruit lately - in a basket at a home hosted afternoon tea, in a friend's kitchen, being eaten skin and all during a class...

This fruit which looks sort of like a tomato, which has no seeds, which is sweet and meaty and tasty, is the persimmon!  And it is a new fruit that Vivian likes!

Food Fun: Kit Kat

I guess this is about as close as I'll get to the cute Kit Kat bar Android figure, Mr. Tall Dark & Yummy, for now, since I don't have any plans to travel out to the Google HQ in Mountain View.
