A new tradition

It seems we have started a tradition to make ice cream on Labor Day. We did it last year at a picnic with friends, and this year KC threw an ice cream social for the Elders Quorum and their families. We figured it was a good time to use up the fresh peaches I picked. We had a great turn out, and way too much ice cream and toppings to go around with what everyone else contributed. Looks like we'll be having ice cream at another church event soon. I am happy to have quite a bit of peach ice cream left over though. I'm hooked.


And it must be a miracle that I only got one misquote bite last night. I am still recovering from 19 I got on Saturday from doing yard work for an hour or less, with repellent on (two of which were through my pants). so maybe they took pity on me and want me to get a little sleep at night. Or they were actually repelled by the citronella candle I had under my legs the whole time, and the constant bug spraying.

And I just wanted to add a picture of the blanced peaches we used in the ice cream. I think they are so cool looking. Like glass or something. I think all fruits are little works of art.

i blanched some peaches last year...they didn't look artistic; they looked like brains. stringy, mushy, orange brains.

Those peaches look like the one on James and the Giant Peach, when he just sticks his hands in and eats a big chunk. I have always wanted to do that. And I could have, if only I had those peaches pictured here.

I remember when you and KC made that fabulous ice cream for the 4th of July the summer of 06. What an ice cream fest that was.

What is on those peaches to make them look like glass?
