(no subject)

Tonight for dinner I had a yellow summer squash (fried up in a tiny bit of bacon fat until all limp and bacon-flavored) with some sliced tomato on top (just warmed through) and some rice to go with. It was really quite tasty. For dessert I had two ripe, room-temperature peaches, sliced into wedges with nothing on them. Putting peaches in the fridge ruins their flavor. Brother Joe just called on the phone and totally agreed with me on the room-temperature-fruit thing, so you know it's true. No fridge for the peaches. My peaches are sitting on the counter -- I buy a quarter bushel at a time so that I can eat them all up before they go yuck.

I'm sure everyone went out and ate a peach as a result of yesterday's post, but I'd like to point out that you're supposed to be getting some huge number of servings of fruit peaches that you're probably not getting so if you accidentally forgot to have a peach yesterday, you might resolve to try that here directly. They're really quite good, this time of year. Really. Quite good.
