Review: I only have pies for you

McDonalds Apple Pies:

I’m not the biggest fan of fast food in general. Eminently, I will do everything in my power to stay away from chains with unhealthy reputations.

However, all my morals are disregarded and thrown out each night as the sun starts to set, the darkness slowly engulfs this small town’s sky and my sweet tooth craving kicks in.

McDonalds Apple Pies have been an American gem for more than 50 years since 1968 when the world’s most popular fast-food chain brought them onto their menu as their first official dessert.

Other dessert menu items come and go, but the popularity of the fresh baked apple pies is what makes them worth keeping on the blinding and illuminating drive-thru screen. What makes this apple pie not only different, but 10 times better than those at other chains is that it is made with six

How to Adult: Decorating for the holidays

Making your living space into a holiday heaven

We’re finally in the holiday season and with that comes an overhaul for your living space.

Although that’s only if you’re the kind of person who enjoys decorating for those special times through the year.

Being past Halloween also means that there’s only two more holidays you can intensively decorate for this year, both of which being Christmas and Thanksgiving. It’s worth noting that not everyone celebrates these holidays so if you’re someone who doesn’t, you can still decorate for the season itself if you feel so inclined.

There are varying degrees to how much you can decorate but it depends on multiple factors like budget, space and personal preference. Someone may have a massive yard yet only want to decorate it minimally while another person may have the opposite situation. When figuring out what to prioritize, always go for personal tastes first.

From there you can take a look at the space you have and then you can work on the budget you want to deal with for said space. There’s another factor which is the actual decorating process but that’s a more abstract process that completely depends on the decorator. Your planned layout may end up different from the end product.

Your preferences can be boiled down to any of the themes you had in mind whether they’re based on a specific holiday or the season as a whole. You can decorate for Thanksgiving, but why not move that further into simply decorating for the fall season?

You’d have access to a wider array of aesthetic choices than if you homed in on Thanksgiving-themed items. From there you could lump in any holiday related items since they fit nicely with the seasonal colors.

Next comes the bud- get aspect of decorating which should be a breeze once you have an idea of what you want to be looking for. It might be a good idea to create a limit for yourself to avoid overspending. different types of apples. With sliced Jonagold, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Gala, Rome and Ida Red apples, the McDonalds apple pie is guaranteed to leave your taste buds satisfied and mouthwatering, impatiently waiting for your next return to destination flavortown.

From that point you can head to any major retailer and shop until you’re satisfied with your choices or until your self-designated budget has run dry. Keep an eye out for any potential deals as well. Places like hobby shops may have good prices for decorative items that’ll suit what you’re going for more than you expect them to.

This same process can be applied to the winter and Christmas season as well, but that seems to be the part of the year where everyone puts out all the decorations they can.

Although it may be tempting to do the same, there’s no reason to break the bank just so your house can be as bright and decorated as the neighbor’s. It’s always good to go for a style that’s more your own speed.

The biggest heartbreak, however, isn’t when the apple pie is long gone and devoured.

The real pain is whenever the thought of just getting close to the magical deliciousness is struck down by the unfortunately all too familiar words, “I’m sorry. We’re all out at the moment.”

McDonalds, here I am, a loyal lover of the greatest dessert item of all time made by your company, and here you are, letting me down time after time, gradually crushing my hungry, inner spirit.

I don’t know how much longer I can take this heartache, but for those warm and savory bad boys, I’m embarrassingly willing to endure this pain for a lifetime. Curse you McDonalds. Curse you and your irresistible apple pies.
