the joy of a peach

Kate brought me some peaches on their way up from ATL Saturday. Very nice. I am ready to enjoy them but the feeling is not mutual so I was looking for ways to ripen them other than the paper bag, which always leaves them mushy.

Here's what I discovered from this great food blog straight from the Washington coast.

Place them stem down on a cotton or linen towel, not touching. Cover with another linen or cotton towel and wait a few days. Then enjoy.
