Lots of musical good stuff recently, but what stands out for me as REALLY good stuff was

Peaches

Red Haven peaches from Catawba Island, Bergman Orchards. The peach engineered for the Great Lakes area - tender and doesn't travel well, so they don't get the mealy refrigerated texture, you get 'em fresh and sigh with pleasure. (and eat 'em over a sink or with a good supply of paper towel under your chin)

I've been buying from this place for four decades, and this year's peaches were larger, jucier, tastier than anything they've grown for almost that long. Last year's fruit crop was all wiped out by the spring freeze, so that this year's was superb just intensified how wonderful it was to have such a great crop. Over a week, I got two pecks of peaches up to 4.5 inches wide, hard to get 'em to balance in the basket... I'd intended to put some up, but over two weeks I managed to eat or share them all.   

And then they were gone - stopped on my way to Chicagoland the next weekend and I had to grin and bear it now being that two week window of concord grape season.

Fresh fruit and veggies... ahhhhhh, VERY good stuff!
