Italian Apricots

Just the other day, as we walked down our street, a lovely old gent with a thick Italian accent asked us to stop and admire his fruit trees. Then, with a bag in hand, he forced us to take some of his ripening fruits off his hands. So we now have an apricot orchard to pick from! How delightful! The fruit was still quite hard, but they should ripen quickly laid out on my tea towels. Yumyum. It sure pays to be friendly to your neighbors!
