Weird? Pretty much.
Regenbogen:
I am the spirit of rainbows future, present and past. You summoned me oh great Dina of the Weird People.
;D
I am sooooooo tired, but I managed to pick up all the fallen apples just now. They are not ripe yet, not even fully grown, so I had to throw them away.
But good news! The one apple tree which got infected with fungus seems to be healthy again. At least the half that hasn't died off. Now there are apples again on new twigs. And he looks really cool. One half dead wood, the other green and full of apples. I consider calling him Hel. Or after any other mythological creature/god with half their body dead and the other half alive. LOL
@Dina. I hope you enjoyed your independence day.
The heat wave here is over, and it rains sometimes, but it is not enough. Everything is dry and the grass is more brown than green.
Fcrate:
@Dina: Nothing says celebration like fried empanadas. :)
@Regen: couldn't you make cider out of them? I'm making some today. Also Eleanor is always up for any amount of spoiled apples. :D

LOL. Certainly not. There is only one toilet :o
No, they get to be recycled with the organic waste. These early ones are really not edible. Maybe if we had pigs, but we don't. They are going to be ripe in August. Then we make juice, cider and cake. But not too much. Honestly only the apples of the half dead tree are kind of delicious. In the last years without these delicious ones we simply sold most of our apples to a small firm, which makes juice and cider out of a mix regional fruit. You sell your fruit and can choose their weight's worth out of their different sorts of juice. That was nice, so we could get all kinds of juice for our apples, not only apple juice.
Our village has an apple press. You can go there and get your own apple's juice, but the first time we did that without the Hel-tree's apples, we could barely drink the stuff. Even with a lot of sugar.
But the toilet was pretty frequented afterwards. And I often slept with a hot-water bottle on my aching tummy, lol.
Dina:
I am so glad you two are here!
@Regen, that sounds great about the apple press and the local firm. And I hope the tree makes a recovery. I would call him "Heisenberg" :P
I like your answer to my summoning :)
@Fcrate, well, actually...we had empanadas from the oven. They are healthier and I prefer them because they are less juicy. Hubby sometimes buys fried empanadas, but I prefer the oven ones. And when I make them, I always do them in the oven because it is cleaner and easier. But this Saturday we had them by delivery.
It is cold again here, I will try to do work from home tomorrow so I can remain warm (but not today, today I need to go to the lab)
Fcrate:
Glad to be here Dina! I was delivering some meat (Also some home-made cheese, fresh milk and some veggies and grapes from my garden) to my aunt in Cairo, now I'm on the bus home.
Most of the time I bake them as well, and they're still awesome, but every now and then I fry them in mutton fat+oil or clarified butter. THEY.. ARE.. GLORIOUS..
@Regen: oh, I got my cows for that. I've corrupted them though, they have a real sweet tooth now. Though they still have preferences. Eleanor is the only one who eats APPLES. Elayne and Elena love mulberries. And all of them are in love with Watermelons and cantaloupes.
Ah.. Bathroom Blues.. I get them whenever my sister in law cooks. :D
I'm slow cooking these apples with some cinnamon. And straining them manually.
