No fridge for peaches.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It has never occurred to me to refrigerate fruit. Except grapes, those go in the fridge. I don't eat a lot of fruit, so I generally don't buy more than I'll eat in a couple days.
Which reminds me of the apple and plum languishing on the counter. Guess I eat one of them. Right after I finish this bottle of cider.

I leave apples out unless I bought a large number. I don't like cold apples because I have temperature-sensitive teeth. Bananas stay out. Peaches and plums will continue to ripen after they're picked and are usually shipped before they're ripe. They don't ripen well in the refrigerator. Cherries, strawberries and blueberries go in the frig, because they'll mold almost instantly out.

Fridges make peaches go all mealy.
Usually if I wait to fridge the peaches until after they're ripe, they don't get mealy. But man, a mealy peach is a crime against all things good. HATE the unpleasant surprise of a mealy peach.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Grapes and berries in fridge. Other fruit out.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do you, personally, refrigerate fruit like apples, peaches, and pears, or leave them out of the fridge until you eat them?
If it needs to be kept and is ripe, I fridge. My place is too damn warm in summer not to fridge. But I pull them out and want to eat them at much closer to room temp.

I put it all in the fridge usually. Otherwise I end up with a bowl of fruit on the counter thinking "if it's out I'll eat it more!" and then a week later theres fruit flies and something is rotting. Oops.

I typically fridge. Usually I buy a big bunch of apples to be lunch snack for a week or two. And if they stay on the counter, they go bad. In the fridge, they last a lot longer. By the time lunch comes around, they are close to room temperature. Grapes go in the fridge. And I usally buy a couple fruit cups of cantaloupe/honey dew, so those go in the fridge. But right now, my counter has a bunch of tangelo's (sp?) Mom's fiance ::shudder:: had a box of them, and put a bunch on the counter. I also purchased a whole honey dew, so I need to cut it open and carve it up, but then the stuff inside will go in the fridge.
