Not a Peach...

I may have mentioned before that I am not much of a healthy eater.  That is why I started running in the first place, to be able to eat all of my junk and still wear my size 0 pants.  I blame my junk food love on me being the youngest child.  To say that I was a brat growing up would be an understatement.  :)

I remember last summer trying a strawberry at my friend Heather's house.  Heather and my other girl friends were shocked that I had never tried a strawberry or any other fruit for that matter.  Guess what?  I loved the strawberry and now I have been known to eat a pound of them in one sitting. 

The love for this strawberry lead me to try blueberries, raspberries, pinneapple, grapes, kiwi, oranges, and apples.  Sure, I know what you are thinking, how could I possibly make it so long in life without trying these items.  It is called cookies, candy, ice cream, and pizza!

I still do not like bananas.  Okay, actually I have never bit into a banana but do not think I will like them.  I might try one over the weekend.  Maybe.

Last weekend I was in the produce aisle of the grocery store.  This is a new thing for me and I feel as though I do not belong.  I was looking at fruit to see what I should try.  I decided to grab a few peaches.  I had no clue how to eat a peach, but I thought they might taste good.  So the other night I grabbed a peach out of the fridge and cut it up.  I was surprised to find out it was not the texture I thought it would be.  It was more the texture of an apple.  I thought hmm, I guess this is how they are instead of soft. 

The next day at work I asked one of the girls if she eats peaches and how she does it.  She told me that they are messing to eat if you eat them like an apple.  I explained to her the texture of my peach.  She asked me if it were fuzzy on the outside.  It was not. 

Guess what?  I bought and tried a necterine and not a peach.
