Anonymous said...: For some reason, I didn't think people could actually EAT crap-apples. This probably has something to do with the fact that, as a child, my sisters and I used to collect crap-apples that had fallen from the trees in our yard, and we would proceed to launch them at our neighbor's windows. They were purely weapons of mini-destruction in my mind. NOT edible. :)

Even so, that jelly just sounds yucky to me. The words "crab" and "jelly" just shouldn't be said in the same breath!; 5:32 AM
