With the Jets on a bye this weekend, we had a family outing on Sunday to Riamede Farm in Chester, NJ. Riamede is peaceful, quiet olde-time farm where for the bargain price of $1 you can roam the 35 acres of orchards and pick your own apples.Neither Con nor I had been apple picking before, so Jack instructed us on the correct technique for picking apples (never pluck - always a twisting motion), while we read up on the 34 different varieties of apples grown at Riamede.
This weekend, about twenty were ripe and ready for picking, and we left with two big bagfuls of green, golden and red apples. We spent the ride home naming all the different apple dishes we could create with our cache.
