riariSummer solstice was yesteday! Happy summer!
Today I tried save a batch of peaches I picked up on Sunday. I know they go bad fast but dad suggested I blanch the peaches so we can keep them a bit longer. I think either they were too ripe or I left them in the hot water too long. Either way, they're mushy. I managed to pull the pits out and keep them mostly intact but wearing a gray shirt was not the best idea. That's in the wash now and hopefully the stains won't stay.
Now to look up the ingredients for a peach smoothie cause that's their destiny at this point. (Or ice cream topping but I can't eat that until the weekend.)
I feel that while I managed to get the peach skins off easily enough so it was a success in that, overall the project failed. Yeah my cooking skills in action. Or lack there of.
