Dee-licious!!!!

Someone gave us some home grown organic peaches.  I have been making a pig of myself.  These are absolutely delicious and I've eaten 4 yesterday and 4 today.  I'll probably get the ____ from all that fiber.  My husband actually canned some of these.  I told him not to and I'd eat them all raw.  I'm ticked because I think canning these delicious fruit is a waste.  We do still have some that I can enjoy.

Sometimes something simple can be such a treat!  Lucy

Yum!!! I love fruit these days... give me a bowl of fruit over a cake anyday.... there are advantages to having a dry mouth.... you eat more healtily due to needing the "wetness" of the fruit.

[Patze]

I'm with ya Lucy!!!  Like the others, I too would prefer fruit to a cake (except chocolate of course - priorities), but those peaches sound so divine!

Lucy,

Yummmmmy......and thank you...I think you made my mouth water....who needs salagen??? 

[Ohiocat]

Not exactly the same ....  but some people brought in extra tomatoes today.

So for dinner, one of the main items, sliced tomatoes with just a lite sprinkling of salt.

Isn't Autumn just wonderful!   

[Patze]

Maybe a bit of vinegar and oil on those tomatoes Ohiocat?

[Ohiocat]

Don't really have Oil and Vinegar in the house to use.  And I don't think using PAM would quite be the same!   

I don't really cook, so expecting to find items like that in my house would be very difficult.   I constantly hear about people cooking things from scratch.  But as much as I look around the grocery store,  i can't find the ingredient called "scratch"   


The peaches sound so much better than the tomatoes, but even so, any garden fresh items sound wonderful.

[Patze]

Heck OC, I'll take anything organic and fresh, fresh, fresh (did I mentin fresh?)!

Yeah, that from scratch thing gets tougher and tougher to find in supermarkets are here these days!   

I have a wicked love of vinegar and like the taste of olive oil, so I always have them in the cabinets - not much else, but will always have them.

Ohiocat,


You sound like me...Ive been looking for "scratch" in the stores for years and years...never did find it! 

[kimbo]

I hate the term "from scratch" it brings me a lot of grief!

As a non cook living in the south surrounded by all these good southern women and men who only know to cook "from scratch"

I have become quite known as the one no one wants in the church's kitchen.

My job there is on the clean up crew, ONLY!

As church secretary my announcement are "The ladies will bring homemade desserts"

Then I always come with one from Walmart!

And believe you me they know the difference, so ain't no switching the containers on these southern gals!

Oh goodness, Patze, live on a farm like I do with a large veggie garden.

On my porch is/were:

1)  A half bushel green beans... given to the folks across the road

2)bushel of tomatoes, keeping an eye on them and keeping my distance till hubby finishing baling hay and comes home,

3) and plenty of pears under tree, ate my fill, left rest for hornets and wasps to enjoy. Not to mention, all the gnats in this house from veggies!

We all have our predicaments... you in the grocery store, me in the gardening thing-ie!!!!!  Wish you were just down the road and I'd load you up w 'garden stuff' to use your olive oil-virgin, I trust- and, red wine vinegar? Just funnin' you as we say in these hills!!! J   Y

P.S. better known as Patze Special): I'll mail you a sampling of pears, if you'll teach this granny how to do the mouse icon you do so well! Deal?

[Poochie]

Oh Joy, I envy you so.  I haven't been able to put up fruit and vegetables for so long.  I use to love canning time.  My girls would both come in to help and we spent the day together working, but having fun also. 

I miss it so much.  My daughter picked up where I left off, but then she was hit with Fibro really hard.  My oldest girl isn't very domesticated, but will help in a pinch.

I am however, enjoying all the fresh fruit from the orchard out the road, along with the fresh veggies.  If you can't do, eat! is my thinking these days. 

Take care everyone and enjoy those eats while you can.  Winter is coming and the taste of "fresh" gets that "cardboard" taste.  Yuck!
