Something so decadent about raspberries and blackberries... even without a side of cream. Eating numerous little mini flavor bombs instead of carving a larger beast. The bonbons of the fruit family.
IN SEASON cherries are also unbeatable. Grapefruit in the winter is fabulous. Sumo Oranges too what a revelation
my childhood favorite was mangoes but I find them very inconsistent in quality in my supermarkets.

I have to agree with Ms. soft that peaches are my favorites. I thought I had eaten peaches before but I did not truly eat a peach until I moved to Ohio. The beginning of peach season is one of my most eagerly anticipated events and I buy them from my favorite farmer—a rotund old man in a red shirt and overalls— by the crateful. Part of the fun is definitely the way they just explode all over you with juice when you eat them. Once I ate a peach next to a waterfall and it was transcendent.
I love raspberries, strawberries, and especially blueberries when they’re in season—strawberry and raspberry seasons burn much too fast but blueberries grow for far longer. Big fan of cherries (I love weird tart bush cherries) and plums. A little seedless watermelon with Tajin… Tomatoes the unsung hero fruits. And shoutout to citrus fruits for holding it down I do buy lemons all year long.

I buy them by the crate at the farmer’s market when they’re in season. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, CRANBERRIES (underrated), lemons, limes, blood oranges, grapefruits, pomegranates, plums, banana only if I’m baking it into banana bread. All other fruits are irrelevant to me

1. rainier cherry
2. banana
3. red grape
4. blueberry
5. strawberry
no one asked but here's my reasoning:
1 - these cherries taste amazing and the pits add to the eating experience. it's fun to eat around them and spit them out. plus a cute stem that comes off seamlessly every time? game changer. Consistent in taste and and has a texture that's only rivaled by maybe number 3 on this list.
2 - bananas are tough because you have to catch them in the correct point in their livespan. They made the number two spot because of their value in different applications. that barely light green color is peak for eating on the spot. if you don't eat them in time, they're still a great neutral smoothie base and leftovers can go in the freezer and be used for bread
3 - these are such a great snack. dont even get me started because i'll finish a whole batch in one sitting. Grapes are a great complement to other classic fruits in a fruit salad. They're also the only fruit aesthetic enough to work on a charcuterie board
4 - i used to eat handfuls and handfuls of blueberries at a time out of my fridge as a kid. so tasty. They are also great in pancakes and yogurt and smoothie bowls
5 - went with a pretty mainstream pick here at number 5. great alone, in smoothies, and in salads! these fruits are really hit or miss tho. not to mention artificially flavored strawberry syrups/candies are generally horrible.

steel cut oats soaked in flax milk, a little maple syrup, and cold brew overnight. then top with plant based yogurt (coconut is good) a dusting of cocoa powder, and a couple chocolate chips (not too decadent now!)

went to the camera museum in south plainfield NJ which was in a decrepit mansion run by two lovely senile men. ended up getting a free hi8 camera and books out of it so dont forget these strange pockets of your municipality

best done with a debilitating migraine.
if you're the type to fear a goblin with bloody eyes and no legs yanking the shower curtain open while you get the shampoo out of your eyes--just turn on your phone's flashlight!
if using this method, obscure it partially for just a sliver of light to see the products you're using or bounce it off the floor. i also like to pair it with some gentle (if not melodramatic) music. my choice is often Water Forest by Ichiko Hashimoto.
observe the way the water droplets refract the light. feel the sensation of them rolling off your shoulders and the smell of your water pipes. pretend you are a beautiful tragic figure and fetishize your suffering.
it's fabulous!
