I was reminded earlier by my dear friend Jossie, (above middle), of our loving relationship with apricots. O what lovely, shrivelled fruits they are, filled with all the good stuff that we are all told to eat more of. But warning you now, please eat them with caution. Not the actual process of eating but the amount!
We were all on a health kick, you know, drinking so much water that you need to pee every 10 minutes and only living on salad.
Well kind, thoughtful Jossie thought that eating as many apricots as physically possible would be a great idea and that myself and Amelia (top left) should join in. So there we were eating an absurdly large amount of them, our boarding house must have thought we had gone mad!
Roll on 2 hours later and the pain kicked in. Not the usual pain that a paracetamol will swiftly take away, but the agonising pain that made us physically drop down and roll around on the floor! Thinking back to it now, it must have looked hilarious.
So for 4 years I was tormented by these little withered things, couldn't bear to look at them, would almost go as far as saying I have been scarred for life! Cheers Joss!
Well if any of you are brave enough to try these assumingly innocent fruits you may want to try this recipe for Apricot Cheesecake.
Looks positively terrifying to me!
