Apricots

[poliphilo]

I have discovered apricots. Fresh apricots, I mean. I've always liked then tinned- in syrup (with ice cream)- but I don't think I'd ever eaten a fresh one before this Christmas. They taste like plums, a little firmer, a little less tart and the joy of them is that they're small. Large pieces of fruit intimidate me; I think- when faced with an apple or a large melon wedge- do I really have to eat all that? But an apricot goes down in a couple of bites.

And then I want another....

I like watermelon. I like the crispness.

We buy unripe peaches and ripen them at home. Ailz and I have differing tastes here. She likes them hard and toothsome and I like them soft and juicy.
