Waaah ... but yum

I bought a bag of peaches and nectarines at the Farmers Market on Saturday. They were perfectly ripe on Monday and I'd been eating them here at work. This morning the remaining few are way over-ripe and starting to go. I think I should clean up what's left and eat them w/ice cream for lunch.

It wasn't so much that the pluot was crisp on the outside. It didn't crunch as I bit into it, the way an apple does.

But the meat inside the skin was more like an apple texture than a plum or apricot texture. Apples are fibrous, but each fiber has body, hence a crunchiness as you chew. Think water chestnut versus bamboo shoot.

Re the durian: Or, next time I come to California, maybe it'll be for longer than a single week (which has been the pattern the last few times) and we can meet and you can treat me (if treat it is ...)

"Treat" -- it is. Hee!
