I (Ryan) am the consummate square. Straight lines, rulers, graph
paper, plaid shirts. Engineer. If this picture were taken while we were
dating, you might be able to guess which apple I cut and which one Leah
cut:
And you'd probably be wrong.
I grew up carefully slicing apples as shown on the right: straight down the center, with an intricate cut to remove the stem and seeds from each quarter. If you're counting knife operations, it works out to around 18.
On the left, we have Leah's apple. Four cuts and it's ready to eat. Easy to make thin slices out of, too. Just goes to show. Even an engineer can learn something from his wife about straight lines and efficiency. I never would have guessed that when we got married.
Note: No apples were wasted in the making of this post.
