She used to shop at our local farmers' market regularly. I sold her some peaches once. She seemed like a nice person.

You sell peaches too? Didn't think they would grow well where you are.

Why do I feel like the phrase selling peaches should be a euphemism for something sexy?

I'll put this here in case anyone is bored.

I remember a French friend telling me he made a gaffe at a restaurant in Italy when he used the word that he thought meant "fig" but actually meant "vagina."

Apparently they're close.

Let me check out the Gastronomica piece. I wrote for them a few times; the former editor, Darra Goldstein, is great.

Cool! Mostly review essays? I can't seem to read them from my pocket supercomputer. Must be in the ancient print format. Email me copies if you have them.

Yeah, in their online incarnation, they only make 1 article per issue available or something like that. I've changed laptops a few times, but let me see if I can put my finger on the PDFs, if you're interested!
