it should be no surprise that, of all the signifiers of summer's arrival- longer days, fireflies, tan lines- my favorite is food-related.  to me, there is nothing more telling than the appearance of new varieties of produce to the market's shelves.  watermelon, fresh corn, berries, zucchini...and of course, peaches.  and what better way to celebrate the arrival of those juicy little gems with ombre flesh than to nestle them in flaky crust and subject them to ungodly temperatures in the oven?  mmm, pie.  it might just be my most-loved word. 

don't mind if i do!
