Someone once told me to eat the seeds along with the apple. As I watched, she ate it all and left only the short stem behind. It was fascinating, so I did it too.
I used to hold the fruit with my thumb at the top and my middle finger at the bottom but this new system meant that I now cradled it in my palm and chomped from the top - or bottom I suppose -, with the stem facing downward.
I guess this means I'm scared of apples now.
Related: I didn't find any pictures of a half-eaten apple that looked the way my half-eaten apples do.
Related: Since Apple seeds contain cyanide then it could be argued that Sleeping Beauty was just a greedy little girl who took too large a bite of a stranger's apple. Therefore the wicked stepmother wasn't really trying to poison her and she should sue for defamation.
(Which begs the question, am I slowly trying to kill myself?)
I used to hold the fruit with my thumb at the top and my middle finger at the bottom but this new system meant that I now cradled it in my palm and chomped from the top - or bottom I suppose -, with the stem facing downward.
Halfway through eating an apple today I got terribly bored with it, the seeds, the stem, the entire fruit. But I made myself finish it because otherwise, that would be wasteful. Yesterday I threw away half a green apple and gave away an orange and a red apple, and another fruit but I forget what. I was bored of the tangy sweetness, the crunchy flesh, the nutritional benefits, the feel of it between my teeth. But I am not bored of cereal yet.
Being bored keeps me from having to acknowledge things that are sensible. I can just say, "It's boring" and bury my head in the sand. I do not have to eat well because cooking is boring (and my flatmates are massive slobs who have destroyed the kitchen for me. Who stacks empty pizza cartons ON TOP OF THE BIN for days?!), and I do not have to finish my work because it gets boring halfway through. Boring might also mean lazy, which may or may not mean that I'm scared of doing something and failing at it.I guess this means I'm scared of apples now.
