Peach of heaven


Don't you just love it when the perfect fruit graces you with its presence?

Right now white peaches are in season here in Israel and I have rarely seen them more plump, more delicious looking, smelling more sweetly. And when I cut into its flesh the sweetness is released and envelopes me softly. I find myself slightly intoxicated by its loveliness. Oh, what a wonderful thing that the pit releases so easily. The knife slices the fruit like butter. I put the slices of delicious peach onto my plate like pieces of confectionery. And what a wonderful thing it is when I take a piece into my mouth, and yes, it is just as sweet, just as plump, just as flavourful as I imagined. Oh, a small piece of heaven on earth.

Å så deilig! Jeg har nettopp gnagd på en sur og hard nektarin fra REMA100, ikke akkurat det samme nei. Herlig med solmoden frukt rett fra trærne!
