Cherry and Peach Galette

There's something pretty magical about nature and the fruits that come into season around the same time. Peaches and cherries go together so well and they're in season at the same time. Peaches and blueberries, same thing. Strawberries and rhubarb, the classic spring combo. Apples and pears, the fall duo. Do they go so well together by accident or have we been conditioned to like them together simply because they are both around at the same time? 

These are the things that keep me up at night.

Just kidding, that would be my anxiety-filled self-doubts about work and life and my future.

It's been three weeks since my last post! I wish I had a real excuse for my absence, like a vacation or my oven broke or my camera died, but it was really just a lack of time... I'm enjoying summer while I can, you can't blame me for that! Although there is the constant nagging in the back of my mind saying, "You should post something this week! You really should!". 

Whatever, nagging voice, get outta here.

I always have a hard time thinking of something to make with peaches because to me, peaches are best enjoyed exactly as they are. I'm talking fresh as can be, juice dripping down your wrist as you bite and slurp at the soft flesh, and sucking on the pit to get every last bit of deliciousness that you can. That is how I want to eat my peaches, 9 times out of 10.

But sometimes, I do want to do a bit more with them. You don't want to mess with them too much or you lose that delicate texture and flavour.
