Dear Reader(read: probably myself):
When I was much younger, my parents on occasion would pack my lunch before I went to school. My lunch pack would typically consist of four items: A sandwich, a bag of fruit, a drink and then some variety of chip or cheese doodle. I rememberthat one of those types of chips/doodles were apple chips. Apple chips were baige,thin and crisp dried out slices of granny and fuji apples which were a touch salty and a bit sweet at the same time. I remember them being quite good. They were in that gray area between health and junk food. They did not have too many calories and did not significantly add to ones waist line, however if one were looking for food that would not exacerbate hypertension, this would not be it. However they were fortified with artificially enriched vitamins which gave them redeeming value. They were quick snacks that you could convince yourself were heallthy and you would be mostly right! Except that things that are truly good for you shouldn't taste quite as salty. Thus I introduce to you dear reader(TRUMPETS SOUNDING...DRUMS ROLLING...HERE IT IS.....): THE APPLE CHIP TIDBIT!!!!!
My APPLE CHIP TIDBIT series is perfectly suited for Australia: Small to Medium sized facts that are interesting yet do not require heavy reading or research on my part. Tidbits that are educational yet have a little of that seductive "pop salt" on them to make them easily digestable! I figure that the rhetorical big bag of apple chips that is Australia will be constantly tilting into the rhetorical open hands that are my silly and dream filled head. Hopefully I can share with you, dear reader, a few of these chips that Australia has handed to me. I will label such tidbits accordingly!
Cheers Mates!
