Adam's Apples

As the saying goes: blogging = focus + voice. I've nailed the focus bit. But sometimes I fret about the voice. Meet the Apple Snob, an online persona I have played with, though only in my head. Tally ho! Because who does not like a little knowing snark with their fruit?

My family took a short trip to New York City over the holidays, where I was determined to try some of that town's famous coal-oven pizza. (Yes, pizza cooked in really hot ovens fueled by coal.) Fortunately for me, someone had created a google map of every coal-oven pizza parlor in New York City. That's when I realized: The secret power of the internet lies in its ability to tap into the narrow (but deep) knowledge of the true fanatic.
