Peaches - How I Loathe Thee!


So, we had that really fun excursion to the peach orchard. We spent a good hour in line, to get some under ripe peaches that were all damaged and a bucket of "good" ones. Well, they have been a nightmare. I tried to leave the so called "over ripes" covered with a towel to let them ripen. They started to rot. FANTASTIC!

So then I cut off all the yucky parts, and went ahead and cut up and froze the good parts. GROSS! All while being queasy due to wonderful all day morning sickness.

Then today, I thought the "good" ones should be ready. Well for some reason, they all shrunk. Some aren't all the way ripe. And the ones that are ripe, are ok. So, that is not a total waste. So I have 5 peaches left that hopefully will ripen into a delicious peach for snacking. The others are all in the freezer.

I don't think we will be doing peaches next year....something just tells me we won't.

Sounds disgusting! But I'm so glad you are blogging again. I think you need to update those children's ages. Unless you like them to stay forever young. Hee hee.
