Apple review: Senshu

Not much to say about this one: sweet, reasonably crisp, and quite juicy, but not as flavorful as a Mac or Gala. I probably won’t get them again, certainly not this year (the macintosh and gala crops are both fine), but we have one left (we bought two on Saturday, to see what they were like) and am likely to eat it if cattitude doesn't.

They're smallish, like an average-sized macintosh, and look a bit like a mac: the skin is mostly the same sort of red, with a few yellow bits instead of the areas of green you sometimes get on a mac. I suspect it has macintosh in its ancestry (I don't remember if the sign at the Greenmarket said anything about its background).

Workout with Emilie

I had a good workout tonight. The amount of stairs I climbed yesterday (I had to return a keyboard to J&R, and subway problems due to a water main break meant taking the 1 home, and an extra three long flights of stairs down from the el at 215th Street) doesn't seem to have caused much trouble. At most, it may be why my knee said "enough!" during a balance exercise at the very end. It may be time to work more seriously on building my quads up again, but we can discuss that next week.
