Just this week I learned too much sitting out on the counter (especially in this disgusting humidity in NYC) can lead to visible mold growth--yuck!

@Allison: Yeah, I can't really leave out any produce in my apartment or else it will melt into a pile of..bacteria-d mush. :( I'm too neglectful!

And it doesn't take long either. I bought three white peaches Sunday. I only got to eat three since by Tuesday the last one had developed mold. This humidity ages your fruit in dog years.
