Peaches & blues & flamingo Pyrex too

This week could be summer’s last blast for native peaches here.
Isn’t that sad?
Yesterday I got a huge bag of ripe peaches from the farmstand down the road. We couldn’t eat them all right away, so I picked out the softest ones to make a peach-blueberry cobbler with vanilla-cream biscuits. Peach cobbler is just fine by itself, but adding blueberries kicks it up into something sublime.
Simple supper for peach season

Fresh native peaches? If it were up to me, I’d just eat them out of hand and consider it dinner. But sometimes you have to act like a responsible adult and actually cook something.
Exactly a year ago I got myself in a tizzy.
We start the new school year at the farm with a potluck luncheon meeting the first Friday of every September. Last year I didn’t remember till late that morning that I hadn’t even thought about what to make for my potluck offering.
Oops.
Yep, there’s more! Click here!

Placesettings: cake for three kings
Posted: January 7, 2014 Filed under: Placesettings, Recipe, Vintage tablecloths | Tags: Buffalo china, Pyrex, tablecloths, Textile, vintage restaurantware, vintage tablecloth 2 CommentsSince yesterday was The Feast of Epiphany—aka Three Kings Day—I finally baked some Three Kings Cake today.
I’m only a day late!
Why it’s called “cake” is a mystery. It’s not cake. It’s a barely-sweet yeast bread studded with bits of yummy dried fruit, baked in the shape of a king’s crown and topped with cherry “jewels.” Yep, there’s more!
