If you've ever had a stye on your eye, then you know it's no apple (except for maybe the redness).  Far from being the object of adoration or even a nutritious snack, styes are super painful and super hard to get rid of.  I got one years ago after wearing some old turquoise eyeshadow, a fashion decision that turned out to be dicey for more than the obvious reason.  The only thing that helped the swelling go down was a product called -- and this is funny -- Stye.  My mom told me about it, and when I walked into CVS that Saturday, there it was, just like she said, on the shelf.  

These days, the only issue with my eyes is that they're sometimes half-closed, at least in the early a.m.  I'm not a morning person!  Observe exhibit A, where I'm telepathically willing my apple pal to prop my peepers open.    

Speaking of mornings, I must still have breakfast-colored clothes on the brain because I cobbled together this pastry, er, pastiche of yellow, black, and tan fabrics, one of which is, appropriately, a waffle weave:    

Tan sweater: So, Kohl's

The colors make me think of, not waffles or pancakes, but a buttery lemon Danish garnished with fancy blackberry sauce squiggles.  

Mmmm, Danish.  That makes me want a midnight snack.  I don't have any Danish, though (this isn't a bakery!).  Maybe I can scrounge up some cookies or candy.  

But most definitely not an apple.
