  3. Charles Gramlich,
    I remember a plum tree in my parents' orchard that carried the same - or similar - kind of fruit. We called them Zuckerzwetschken, sugar plums, because they were incredibly sweet when fully ripe.

  6. Nature doesn't make a lot of blue-coloured food, but when it does, it's spectacular. I love the contrast between the cool tones of the plums and the warm of the hazy background. Yummy.

  9. @ My Farmhouse Kitchen:
    *giggles*
    I looked it up: contrary to what I remembered, the recipe (Braised Goose with Port and Vegetables") was not in the original, but in the Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook. I did not even own it back then, but a friend copied the recipe. I had never cooked a goose before.

  10. @ louciao,
    these are apricots and peaches, the warm colour dots in the background. ;-)

    @ Sara at Come Away With Me:
    August always changes vocabulary, doesn't it?
    The light is special, even on overcast mornings, like today.

    @ Pat:
    I remember many a tummy ache from when I was a small child and gorged myself with ripe plums from the low hanging branches of the tree.

  15. Did you taste these, Merisi? I wonder if they are as good as they look?

  16. I have not seen plums yet here, maybe because we are a bit more north:)
