clubhouse chat: them apples

friday forgives everything, especially a late fruit delivery. back in august, apple of my eye gave the season's first apple the glow treatment. this is the second lap: late october is when the orchard actually peaks, and the apple's biggest claim has never been fact-checked in the chat. today it is. the passed note packs it three ways.

the fruit stand

the late harvest is the good harvest. fuji, pink lady and granny smith all come into their own now, sweeter off a cold snap, and this is cider season's opening week. the club split: crisp and tart for snacking, soft and sweet for baking, and any apple headed for oats can be yesterday's. buying for the week? a mixed bag beats a matched one. the bakers keep the bruised, the gym bag gets the small and sturdy, and one goes to whoever holds the door.

the glow file

does an apple a day actually work? the british medical journal tested the proverb itself: researchers modeled that if every adult over 50 in the uk ate one apple a day, the country would see about 8,500 fewer vascular deaths a year, in the same neighborhood as putting everyone on statins, with no side effects beyond the core. club translation: the proverb survived peer review. the august read covered the glow chemistry, peel on, polyphenols, friendlier gut. this is the heart half of the story, and it is fiber and pectin doing quiet cardiovascular work. club translation two: the whole apple beats the juice. the fiber is the point. money planted some seeds this week too.

the piggy bank

john paulson gave hebrew university a record 250 million dollar gift, the largest in its history, and the mount scopus campus will carry his name. the oldest investing advice still holds: fund the thing that compounds. your version costs less: put next week's fruit and vegetables on the list before the snacks go on it. the clubhouse heard a plot twist on friday too.

heard at the clubhouse

quentin tarantino surprised the afi fest crowd with seventeen unannounced minutes of the further mis-adventures of cliff booth. a whole room got the thing every fan secretly wants: a little more of the story, early. your move: give a friend the seventeen minute cut of your week tonight, only the good scenes. the sunshine page stayed on the farm.

the sunshine page

win one: an organic strawberry farmer is replacing chemical soil treatment with plain steam, and the early read is healthier soil and a better crop. win two: england set a plan to treble its organic farmland to ten percent by 2036. cleaner fields, better fruit bowls. your move: buy one in-season fruit this weekend that you have not eaten since you were small. the dress code went golden.

the dress code

the friday studio leggings in daisy yellow, ninety dollars, in stock now. golden delicious energy for the studio: a buttery rise, built for friday's lighter session, and bright enough to keep the weekend honest. pair with headphones and a farmers market. the passed note packs the apples.

the passed note

the apple kit, three ways. one: the gym bag apple, whole, with a single serve nut butter, eaten before the drive home. two: the night snack, sliced thin with cinnamon, tastes like pie and is not. three: the breakfast upgrade, grated straight into oats or yogurt, skin on. (are dates good for you holds the chewier option.) the proverb checks out, the kit is packed, and honestly? how do you like them apples.

send this to a friend. that's how the club grows.

health is hot.
