Impress dinner guests with these simple yet dangerous-to-make apple swans
Everything worth doing is worth doing to the extreme, if you ask us. So if you have a nice, juicy granny apple, sure, you could eat it as is, or you could spend 15 to 20 minutes with your fingers in dangerously close proximity to a sharp knife and make this adorable apple swan!
If you follow these instructions, it seems reasonably easy to consistently make these edible dinner decorations, but we hope your hand-eye coordination is up to snuff because the only thing more dangerous to your digits is playing that old saloon game “Five Fingers.”

Newspapers across Japan blast state secrecy bill in editorials
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Newspapers across Japan took aim at the government's secrecy bill after its passage through the lower house Tuesday, with most saying parliamentary debate was insufficient and slamming the legislation for restricting the right to know and other areas they see as problematic.
"We must say it was a high-handed act by sheer force of numbers," The Kyoto Shimbun said of the ruling coalition's railroading the bill through the House of Representatives' Special Committee on National Security and immediately putting it to a vote at the house's plenary meeting.
