ReplyDeletePS: Dearest Merisi, thank you so much for your affectionate comment. Much love, Sonia.
Charles Gramlich,
ReplyDeleteI remember a plum tree in my parents' orchard that carried the same - or similar - kind of fruit. We called them Zuckerzwetschken, sugar plums, because they were incredibly sweet when fully ripe.
Jinksy,

p.s. loved the story about the christmas goose !!!
Nature doesn't make a lot of blue-coloured food, but when it does, it's spectacular. I love the contrast between the cool tones of the plums and the warm of the hazy background. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteYou've shared a very gorgeous combination of colors...and I do love your title for this post too...luminous indeed!
ReplyDeleteMakes my mouth water!
ReplyDelete@ My Farmhouse Kitchen:
ReplyDelete*giggles*
I looked it up: contrary to what I remembered, the recipe (Braised Goose with Port and Vegetables") was not in the original, but in the Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook. I did not even own it back then, but a friend copied the recipe. I had never cooked a goose before.
@ louciao,
ReplyDeletethese are apricots and peaches, the warm colour dots in the background. ;-)
@ Sara at Come Away With Me:
August always changes vocabulary, doesn't it?
The light is special, even on overcast mornings, like today.
@ Pat:
I remember many a tummy ache from when I was a small child and gorged myself with ripe plums from the low hanging branches of the tree.
I'd love to pop one (okay, more than one) of those in my mouth. ;-)
ReplyDeletePaz,
ReplyDeletecareful, Paz, careful! ;-)
Delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen plums like this in all my born days. They look heavenly!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful -- and now I'm imagining these beauties in your grandmother's drying house.
ReplyDeleteDid you taste these, Merisi? I wonder if they are as good as they look?
ReplyDeleteSo attractive!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blue!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen plums yet here, maybe because we are a bit more north:)
