Millions of Peaches, Peaches for me
Went to the Mount Pleasant farmer's market today and i was really surprised that local South Carolina peaches are already in season. I'm really particular about my peaches, so I was a bit cautious to go ahead and buy them this early in the season, but they smelled so delicious I couldn't pass up the opportunity. A really good peach isn't just sweet and fragrant, but there is a very specific way you have to eat it without making a giant mess. As you bite into your peach you also have to kind of suck too, so that all of the juices don't dribble down your chin. A really good peach is like this. It's perfect just the way it is, you don't have to do anything to it. No turning it into cobbler, or ice cream or chopping it up and sprinkling it with sugar. It is a divine little prize. A reward for the patient wait until the next season. Because food is always best when it must be enjoyed hanging off a porch, or over a trash can so that you don't make too much of a mess, and when you might as well jump in for a swim to rinse the delicious juices away.
