We don't actually yet have a fruit and vegetable peeler in the apartment, and I of course forgot this fact when I set out to make apple crisp. So A. my roommate got a call saying "can you get a peeler while you're out" (and she did), and B. I peeled the apples with a knife. It's not something that I'm good at- but I got substantially better by the end... And now we have a peeler.
