I have discovered

that the only sensory thing comparable to the ache of love gone tepid, is the disappointment of a mediocre peach.

I had such high hopes.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Aug 29, 2008

I'll go one better, Perks... the ache of longing when one sees a firm, red, ripe, beautiful, picture-perfect tomato...

... and it tastes like cardboard. Or worse.

BLECH!

Perks · Aug 29, 2008

I love that you people understand me.

Perks · Aug 29, 2008

And blueberries that give you that come-hither indigo glow and then taste of mildew.

maestrowork · Aug 29, 2008

Peaches? Ack.

Give me a nice, firm, juicy guava.

Priene · Aug 29, 2008

Life's a peach and then you cry.

That pretty much sums up my adventures in gardening this year.

Have you been sneaking around my garden?

The last tomato I picked had a worm in it.

I feel your pain Perks. We can commiserate with this.

Or a plum that looks perfect has that nice plum smell and then you bite it and it's so bitter your whole face puckers

A. Hamilton · Aug 29, 2008

... or steaming a big fat lovely artichoke and then discovering a fat bug secretly hibernating deep inside.

Or baking a big fat potato, cutting it open and seeing what looks like a slug baked into your nice big potato. Eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Or believing you're about to munch down on a strawberry Pop Tart ...

... only to discover it's a freaking CHERRY Pop Tart.

This thread is depressing. Eat more meat. :tongue

Peaches and cream?

How about discovering you're allergic to a nice fresh peach and can never eat one again, mealy or otherwise? Now that's true sadness.

Kitrianna · Aug 29, 2008

Or a strawberry that looks so beautiful, smells so exquist...and tastes of nothing! Or worse, tastes bitter. Oh I long for the days of the freshly plucked strawberry- sweet, juicy and delicious. Alone or covered in whipped cream (freshly whipped of course)

Soccer Mom · Aug 29, 2008

Sadness is unwrapping the chocolate to discover that it is a beige reconstruction of previously melted goodness. :e2cry:

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Aug 29, 2008

Or that someone's checked it already to see if it's 'nut' or 'cream' filled.

Pagey's_Girl · Aug 29, 2008

Or that scrumptious-looking chcoclate-chip cookie - is in fact a raisin cookie.

Gehanna · Aug 29, 2008

I have wild blackberries galore on my property but, my heart longs for gooseberries. I feel so shallow.

I feel your pain. I was the biggest pasta and bread fiend that ever walked. I would eat paste for at least one meal sometimes two meals a day and breads with every meal. Loved french or italian bread, english muffins, croisants etc.

Would cook linguine with clam sauce, garlic bread stuffed mushrooms and bowties with mozerella and garlic bread and stuffed mushrooms every week.

Always had tummy troubles. Turns out I have celiac disease no more wheat of any kind.

Every eat rice pasta or rice bread??????? Here's a word; vomitrocous. :e2cry:

Kitrianna · Aug 29, 2008

Both your pain. Ever try to avoid anything adn I stress everything that contains eggs? I did for a year and a half. It seems to be a recurring problem. I eat the little buggers when I can and when they make me sick I stop again.

I thought it was filing taxes, followed by faculty meetings.
