my love of nectarines

Nectarines are one of my top two favorite fruits.  Nectarines and Blackberries.  I absolutely love when I walk into the grocery store, get near the produce section, and smell the nectarines for the first time in the spring.  Bar none, that is my favorite grocery shopping experience of the year, and that happened this week.  Of course, I loaded up on the wonderful fruit.
Not only do I love the taste, and love the smell, but aren't they just so pretty?
I did a search on pinterest for "nectarine" and was hoping to find some fabulous recipes, so that I would have new ways to enjoy them.  I didn't really find much, but I did discover that there are quite a few people who don't know the difference between a nectarine and a tangerine.  How is that possible?  I was beyond disturbed, but then I hear there are people who don't know what okra is, so nothing should really shock me.  I did conjure up a recipe in my head... a blackberry nectarine cobbler.  I texted my mom right away.  I told her we need to experiment this summer!

Just in case you think I'm kidding about my love of the nectarine smell, I will show you what perfume I wear...
 
 
Happy Weekend!

I don't know why, but I didn't take many pictures on the inside. I also bought a ticket to the Royal Stables Museum which houses lots of coaches. I really found all the sleighs to be a sight to see, bu...
