Peach Mush

A fresh peach tastes like nectar of the gods. OK. I believe in one God, but it’s a good phrase.

The grocery store (I won’t call names) should be ashamed, embarrassed, and mortally humiliated by the poor excuse of a peach I bought. MUSH! Peeling them was a challenge. They squashed between my fingers. Those peaches were only edible when I buried them in lemon and sugar and baked them in a pie. Peach mush is OK in a pie.

I went to a peach farm once, and they said you can’t pick them ripe to sell them because they’ll be over-ripe in a day. So you pick them prematurely. So they’ll ripen on the shelf – and then turn to mush.
