The Purple House (@brescahoneybee) reopened this week for their inverted (October through May) season. I stopped in first thing at 8am and by the time I left there was a line of eager bagel and pastry eaters trailing out the front door. I went for the TPH (gravlax, horseradish dill cream cheese, radish, cucumber, onion, caper berry on a rosemary sea salt bagel) shown in the second photo with a mug of @speedwellcoffee. If you haven’t been for lunch go and try their wonderful pizza, sandwiches and salads. #northyarmouthmaine #thepurplehouse #montrealbagels

The 6th Annual Heirloom Apple Tasting took place yesterday. This wonderful event brought together 213 apples from 21 orchards in 4 states with New England ciders (@bentboughcider, @rockygroundcider, @cornishciderco, @citizencider), heirloom apple dishes by Ilma Lopez from @chavalmaine, Josh Berry at @unionportland and Krista Kern Desjarlais at The Purple House (@brescahoneybee) under one roof at the @portlandoystershop on Washington Ave.
The focal point of the event was a guided tasting by @therighteousrusset (aka Sean Turley) who led guests through a tasting of a diverse range of 36 apple varieties from the colonial era to the modern day, from England, France, Kazakhstan and America providing insight into the science and lore of apples and tasting notes and lineages of the fruit presented.
Tickets for the 2020 Apple Tasting will go on sale next year in September. #portlandmaine #appletasting #heirloomapples #rareapples #mainespples

Warm sunny days, cool crisp nights, leaves turning color...Fall, my favorite season is now here, and along with it Maine’s stellar apple season. Here are two great examples. On the top is a Chestnut, a 1946 cross between a Malinda and a crab apple. What it lacks in size it makes up for in flavor, texture and eye appeal. On the bottom is an Ashmead’s Kernel an 18th century English variety that has a russet texture and balanced high acidity. There are 100+ apple varieties available at orchards across Northern New England. You just need to bypass the macs and honeycrisps and go for a beautiful drive in the countryside to find some. #maineapples #heirloomapples #chestnutcrab #ashmeadskernel
