Peaches, from Homestead Farm, in Maryland.
I write from the couch. I cannot stand anymore. I have spent the last five hours doing things to peaches. Eating them, washing them, blanching them in hot water, peeling them, making them into (runny) jam. Needless to say, I am exhausted. And full of peaches. Back tomorrow (or possible Wednesday) with a report from the urban homestead.
And, it’s my birthday. Goodbye 26. Hello 27. Have some peaches.
My God. What am I going to do with these peaches?

Well have a peachy-keen birthday then! Sorry, somebody had to say it….
Heh. Someone did have to say it.
Happy Birthday!!
Thank you!
Happy birthday! You could do peach pie, peach cobbler, peach clafoutis, peach ice-cream, freeze-dried peaches, peach roll-ups.
Those are good ideas. I want to make stuff that will freeze well -. I made peach tartlets, and put almost all of them in the freezer. Maybe clafoutis for later in the week – when I’m less sick of these peaches.
How do you make peach roll ups?
Happy Birthday! I shall add to Alice’s suggestions: Peach sangria and peach granita. Mmmm.
You are the granita queen! Sadly, I can’t do sangria on a weekday, but maybe if I can get some friends over this weekend . . .
Happy Birthday from Sonoma County California…! Enjoy every minute of it.
Happy Birthday! I’m going peach picking this weekend. I can’t wait!
I hope you make something delicious with them!
