still, i think that there's no defense of peaches. the fruit that goes from hairy to slimy in one bite, and tastes like cat vomit. i know that i'm in a very small minority -- i.e., i've only met one other person in my life who hates peaches -- but DAMMIT I'M RIGHT!! (though peach lovers feel free to defend yr indefensible love!)

I'm with nectarine, but peaches are a close second.
the only bad peach-related thing is that Presidents of the United States song
I like that song, if only for the "peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man" line

And if Dada were Alex in NYC, then Alex is really holding back the best part of himself because I have really grown to adore Dada and look forward to smiling at whatever Dada posts. It's like Dada knows we all need a little levity in our lives and is doing our minds a world of good. I would love to befriend whomever Dada is now.

Although in another post it was implied that Kenan may be the real "Dada". I'm more inclined to believe that now.

The mornings of April 13th and 14th we had near freezing temperatures of 36° and 34°. Needless to say, I did not get very much sleep those two nights! The crop looks fine, and that should be the last time we have to worry about freeze this spring. The fruit is now rapidly developing, and we have begun the tedious job of thinning the fruit out, allowing the remaining fruit to become larger at maturity. The first variety, Regal, will probably be ready to start picking somewhere around May 20th, followed by our other 14 varieties through early August.
(Here's a handy-dandy look back at the point in the thread where I mention this peach picking activity.)
So Sam (and whomever else)... if you're still interested... y'know?

i like peaches fine, but fuck do they get bruised easily
nectarines > peaches

If this was an ILM thread I would agree with the premise.
― Oilyrags, Saturday, 7 July 2007 04:39 (eighteen years ago)
I don't understand this thread title at all. Even white peaches are okay if you get lucky with one that has a little bite to it.
― A B C, Saturday, 7 July 2007 04:44 (eighteen years ago)
Seriously, dude. Peaches are their own best - and quite effective - defense.

i am sure that people who love peaches will love ned's peach cobbler. just not me, though ;__;
oh, and i found out this week that a co-worker also hates peaches -- she's also pretty hot (but also pretty married).

i'm gonna try this coconut/cream and peaches dessert tonight. :-D
― nathalie, Saturday, 7 July 2007 07:39 (eighteen years ago)
maybe a lot of people have never had a good peach? i haven't had a good peach in definitely over 2 years. which is sad. i have prob not been trying hard enough to find them. but good peaches, like okanagan (b.c.) peaches, holy geez so crazy good
― rrrobyn, Saturday, 7 July 2007 07:49 (eighteen years ago)
yes
― 31g, Saturday, 7 July 2007 12:52 (eighteen years ago)
Mmm...that looks awesome, Ned. I defend with the spiced peach sorbet I made a few days ago. A little ginger, a little cinnamon--tasted like pie without the crust.
― lindseykai, Saturday, 7 July 2007 13:35 (eighteen years ago)
A really good peach is better than a nectarine, but nectarines are more reliably good than peaches.
― Hurting 2, Saturday, 7 July 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)
Blue Bell Peaches 'n' Cream Ice Cream: yum Actualy peaches 'n' cream: better -- but yeah you have to find a good peach. and buy heavy cream and chill it, who does that?

― s1ocki, Saturday, 7 July 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)
To be fair, I got a few pounds of overripe, very bruised peaches from my parents last week, and they were pretty gross. But good peaches are the best fruit ever.

i have been getting some kickass nectarines lately. but they're still not better than the best peaches.

Goldbud peaches, people.
Get some shipped to you, NOW, fuck the expense
― Beth Parker, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:31 (eighteen years ago)
In case you're to depressed over bad peaches to read to the end: Ron Mansfield, Goldbud's owner, will ship. Call him at 530-626-6521.
― Beth Parker, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:33 (eighteen years ago)
Okay, here's a real Goldbud Farms link
― Beth Parker, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:35 (eighteen years ago)
Man, if I had 17-24 peaches right now, I'd eat them ALL in like half an hour. If I had some way to prove this, I would. I would! I would eat these peaches for all of you! But mainly for my own peach love.
― Abbott, Sunday, 8 July 2007 00:55 (eighteen years ago)
you are the fucking Kobayashi of peaches!
― wanko ergo sum, Sunday, 8 July 2007 01:10 (eighteen years ago)
I think 24 is really the max I could do. If only I had some delicious peaches to test this.
I think I could do even more intense gobbling with a bunch of garden-grown tomatoes. I bet I could eat 45 or so in that time, or perhaps 120-130 cherry or grape tomatoes. I'm like a chain smoker around those things. (See also: black licorice and cheese sticks aka string cheese)
― Abbott, Sunday, 8 July 2007 01:12 (eighteen years ago)
I'll have you know that Placerville, CA, home of Goldbud Farm, is also the home of Thomas Kincaid, The Painter of Light™.
― Beth Parker, Sunday, 8 July 2007 01:24 (eighteen years ago)
I reckon I could scoff that many cherry tomatoes warm and ripe from a garden too Abbott!
Peaches, not so sure. I mean I like them but I'm not a big fruit fan. Too much sugar.
― Trayce, Sunday, 8 July 2007 03:47 (eighteen years ago)
Now I want to make a sort of quiche/tart thing studded with cherry tomato halves. Why does it have to be winter ;_; I miss tomatoes.
― Trayce, Sunday, 8 July 2007 03:50 (eighteen years ago)
When I was about five, I went to the local swimming pool. I was terrified to be in the locker room alone, because I went with my mom instead of my dad. While I was swimming, someone opened my locker and threw up on my clothes. They had quite obviously eaten peaches.
I've never eaten a peach since then and probably never will.
― joygoat, Sunday, 8 July 2007 06:22 (eighteen years ago)
Donut peaches are insanely great. Small and a bit more expensive, but so so good.
― clotpoll, Sunday, 8 July 2007 08:13 (eighteen years ago)
A couple of summers ago I ate so many fresh tomatoes that I vomited and had diarrhea simultaneously. I sat on the toilet with a bucket in my lap.
― Beth Parker, Sunday, 8 July 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)
ah, the joys of summer
― gershy, Sunday, 8 July 2007 16:28 (eighteen years ago)
BLEARGH, Beth! I'm glad to say I haven't done that yet. But I've been eating my share.
― Rock Hardy, Sunday, 8 July 2007 20:08 (eighteen years ago)
I've gone that far w/both the tomatoes, the peaches & actually the black licorice, and I have to say I don't mind after all that P-L-E-A-S-U-R-E...
― Abbott, Sunday, 8 July 2007 20:12 (eighteen years ago)
I shudder to think of the black licorice vomit.
― Beth Parker, Sunday, 8 July 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)
Actually, not vomit, just rapid & frequent BMs. I did vomit after eating a pound and a half (!!!!) of those Necco Valentine's Day candy hearts w/messages on them at age 10, one of the few foods I've ruined by such mad ODing.
