I used to say that I wanted to move to Arkansas just for the eggs, but that’s not true; I want to move to Arkansas for the eggs, the nectarines and the raspberries, all of which were unlike any I had ever eaten anywhere else, and none of which is currently in my fridge *right now*.
The California nectarines are never ripe! I miss the Colorado peaches all summer long.
Store-bought nectarines here in CA are shipped green and they never taste right. Farmer’s market nectarines are ripe but rock-hard. In a few days they turn perfect but only for about 45 minutes!
So in other words, if I luck upon a nectarine tree in someone’s yard at the height of summer, I should be prepared to steal as many as I can carry, and then run like hell. ;)
Gosh, Pam, when you said rock-hard and perfect for only 45 minutes, I thought for a second that you were about to begin the story of my abs.
And here I’d worked so hard to stay in an innuendo-free zone.
@Bake: I once lived on the razor-edge border between suburbs and peach orchards, and for about two weeks of the year I and my neighbors would take refreshing evening strolls through the countryside ... carrying plastic bags.
I have much to learn from you, sensei.
Regarding the innuendo-free zone: Ahhh, you might as well just give up. I know I have, and as a result, get much more done in a day. ;)
Unlike nectarines, innuendoes were always ripe for picking.
“Rock hard and perfect for 45 minutes.”
That’s what *she* said.
