Wheat Salad – Meh, Oven-Fried Chicken – Thumbs Up!

Posted by Cynical Sarah on June 30, 2010

It’s nectarine season! I know Spring/Summer has finally come to Vancouver when I can head to the little fruit and veggie stores near me and see one of my favorite fruits amid all the usual apples and oranges.

Sure, I could probably get nectarines or their fuzzy cousins, the peach, year round at the big chain grocery stores, but the little, less expensive stores within walking distance only get them when they’re in season. They’re so much better in season – I’m not really sure why. Perhaps it’s because they can be picked a little closer to ripe since they don’t have to be shipped so far. The ones that get boated up from South America in the dead of winter are hard as rocks still and never do ripen up very well.
