Ripe White Summer Peach is a Culinary Orgasm

Ah, sweet heaven! This is all I need for dessert, nothing else. Just a ripe white summer peach, whether it is straight from the refrigerator, or warmed from sitting in the sun, it is, as I already mentioned, a culinary orgasm: juicy, soft, and overflowing with good sweet flavor. I did try it with a little bit of cream last night, and it was still divine.... I haven't had the time, nor did I want to spend the last three peaches I had left, experimenting with new recipes. I've decided to eat the last three peaches over the next three night, buy buckets more, and then experiment with some new white summer peach recipes. I am already mourning the end of their season....Sa La Vie! Until then, here is one I would like to try:
