Yesterday, the Mrs. bought some local peaches that were absolutely perfect.
So sweet, with juice that just ran down my chin when I bit into it.
MMM. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is as good as eating fresh local foods.
And peaches are a great fruit.
A small peach (about 3 oz) has around 30 calories, with a tiny amount of protein, and lots of energy producing carbs. It is a complex carb, so it's not like eating sugar, although they taste as sweet.
I also has my first peanut butter and tomato sandwich of the season, on whole grain toast. And, it was wonderful.

Darn! I need to move.
I just got my first of the season tomatoes from my garden this week. I am excited. Great blog.
Peaches are my favourites and that too fresh from my own garden .Nice blog you have.
@ Shyne: Oh yeah. NJ is much closer to the equator than you are. :)
@ Bill: Nothing better than Jersey tomatoes. All my friends with gardens know if they have extra tomatoes, I take them.
@ Bikran: THanks. We used to have a peach tree when I was a kid. Few things compare to going to the back yard and picking a fresh peach.
I just had the most perfect peach today...I love it when the come into season. Where I am from we even have a peach festival...I love the idea because it promotes the idea that we should all be eating locally.
