I like the worm (not about tequila)

At that weekend wedding in Point Reyes, a lot of the apples we picked had been invaded by worms. However, since the worms had just eaten the seeds and then left, this worked out fine. I just cut out the usual core, and J and I ate the rest.

In one apple we did finally find a worm. (I think it was not really a worm, but a caterpillar or a maggot.) It was a pretty pink color and was mostly intact. J noticed that it was missing one end, though, and said something to me about my having cut its head or tail, and asked why. I told him I had accidentally cut it off when I was opening the apple. He said, "I don't wan do that again. I like the worm."
