Honey crisp apples are great. They're some of my favorite apples.

Something else I really like is nice kiwi. They taste strawberryish in the outer layer and like a banana on the inner layer.

Don't ever buy a coconut. Ever. They don't taste like that shredded coconut that comes in a bag. Plus, you have to get a hammer to open the things.

Lol, yeah, the coconut that you'd find on a cake or pie isn't really coconut. It's more sugar than anything else.

I've never had a store-bought apple that tasted good enough to eat by itself. I only like homegrown apples. Those taste mightily different than store apples. They're softer, too.

I hear ya there. I've eaten the organic apples a lot, mostly Gala. After eating an organic Gala apple, the conventional Gala apple just taste like water. But the location also effects the taste, which is sad. Washington state Gala apples taste amazing compared to where ever they're coming from right now. I guess our growing standards are better than other countries. It's funny how we fucked up food.

Love honey crisps.

Kiwis are great; wish I lived in a city where they still were sold at a dime a piece.

But. Love fresh coconut. I usually bake the flesh, but the milk is where it's at. You soak some mahi mahi in fresh coconut milk for an hour, bake it at 400 for 20 minutes and I bet you would agree. (sprinkle with panko and crushed macadamia nuts)

It's really not that hard to open a coconut, you just poke holes in a couple of the eyes, drain the coconut water and then bake it for like 15 minutes at 400 and the husk comes right off with a little bit of effort. I've made a coconut layer cake from fresh coconut before and it is miles better than what you would normally get at the store.

Wow no comments on this? I think a dude fighting off over 30 armed Taliban alone is a lot more interesting than fruit. That's madness.

I finished my High School Graduation last night, and finished the Grad Bash party that lasted from 9:30 PM to 7:00 AM. I just woke up about an hour ago.

I think it would be cool if HTC made a smartphone to directly compete with the Xperia Play, and have physical buttons. The main reason being that HTC recently bought out about 50% of OnLive, which is a killer app if I ever heard one. They already demonstrated OnLive running on HTC's Flyer, so I think releasing a smaller version of it for a smartphone is a no-brainer.
