I aim for an apple a day. The larger the better.

-Paul Cezanne

Las autumn, my mother and I watched in disbelief as our Parisian pastry chef gobbled down not just one, but often two or three portions of each and every confection he completed.

In Hollywood, the women are all peaches. It makes one long for an apple occasionally.
