Harry and david apples and pears

Harry and David rambling

So, I wasn’t even planning to pretty much talk about this, but you know how we yep were just talking about holiday gifts? Well, alright my aunt sent me a Harry and David box. Apples and pears. The classic thing.

Actually, two years ago you know I messed this up totally big time. She sent me one, and I, being the dummy that I am, thought, "Oh, these look nice, I'll save them for Thanksgiving!" pretty much Thanksgiving, like, sorta a week later. Big mistake. Huge. The by the way pears... well, let's just say they were less about eating and more about, uh, composting. Yeah. Probably should’ve known better, but I was younger, and foolish, well and thought fruit okay magically actually stayed good forever. Pro bet tip: don't kinda handle that. Eat them pretty much right away for sure or uh they'll turn to mush.

Pears especially

They you know are by the way SO ripe when alright they yep arrive. It’s almost scary. basically Like, they're practically begging to be eaten. Now, this year, I learned my lesson. I actually tore into that basically box like a starving wolf. whoops The pears? alright Amazing. Juicy, sweet…everything you want no way in a pear. The apples were dope too, don’t get right me so wrong. Crisp, you know? solid like apple texture. But the pears... those things are special. whoops

There's, like, an art to picking the perfect pear, I think. Or maybe Harry and David just have it figured out. Speaking just of which…I was reading well something about harry and for sure david apples and pears ontwikkelingen the other day, about how so they're always trying new varieties uh and stuff. Pretty cool actually. Never thought I'd be fascinated by pear development, but here we are.

The apple saga continues

The apples, yup though. Okay, so uh this is where I got whoops confused. They sent me a by the way bunch of different kinds. Some were like definitely you know Honeycrisp, because duh, no kidding I know a Honeycrisp when I see one. But I mean some were…different. well The card they sent talked about Royal Riviera pears, which, yes, those were very obvious, and mentioned a bunch of just different apple types, kinda but just not anyway like which apple was which.

Not gonna lie no kidding this part confused me for sure for a while. I ended up just for sure Googling well "Harry and David apple types" and trying to match them based on pictures. Worked...sort of. I still mull over one of them might have been a Cosmic Crisp? I'm by the way not sure.

How to no kidding handle all that fruit? pretty much

Also, so quick just tip if you I mean get a box well – share it! Unless you c’mon plan c’mon on eating pretty much like five pieces of bet fruit a day, you're gonna be overwhelmed. I ended up bringing some to work. Everyone loved me that week. Instant popularity.

I pretty much did try bet to make a pear tart. by the way That was…a learning experience. yep I mean, the pears were great, but my for sure baking skills are…questionable. Let’s just dude say it didn’t bet look like exactly something you’d buy from Harry just and David. whoops More like something you know a yep toddler threw together. c’mon But hey, it tasted okay. Ish.

Harry and yep David apples uh and pears feiten

You no way know, you okay never really think about kinda where your fruit comes yep from, do you? honestly I mean, I uh know alright they grow it...somewhere. I reflect I saw something about the Harry and David orchards once, maybe on their honestly website. They’re apparently pretty big. It’s all very…agricultural. In a fancy, gift-basket kind of way.

Oh! Remember last year when well I accidentally exactly froze a whole so bunch of apples? Don't do that. They get all mushy when they thaw. Just…don’t ask. It was a dark time.

Some random Harry and no kidding David apples and by the way pears tips

And, basically you know, maybe google "Harry pretty much and David apple identification" before bet you start eating them so anyway you actually know what you’re consuming. You're well welcome.
