Fresh Peaches



I bought fresh peaches the other day at the farmer's market. The first time I ate peaches was of the canned variety. The taste is not that different, except that canned peaches are drenched in syrup.

I remember being astonished the first time I saw fresh asparagus. Like peaches, my initial discovery of asparagus was from a can, but unlike peaches, fresh asparagus looks a lot different from canned. Fresh asparagus spears are dark green and hard, while the canned variety is light yellow and mushy.
