That crate of peaches
slurped, sliced, peeled, baked in cobbler
Empty box, full tum!
What do you do after buying a crate of peaches from a man setting up on a street corner?
- Wonder what you’re going to do with SO many peaches when you get home.
- Pull off the cover and savor the sweet aroma of SO many peaches.
- Consume 1 or 2 or 3 right away and wonder why you still have SO many peaches.
- Be a little afraid of the repercussions of eating 1 or 2 or 3 peaches right away.
- Give them to your friends and your mail deliverer and wonder why you still have SO many peaches.
- Ask your son’s girlfriend if she’d like to make peach cobbler (because you don’t bake) and marvel at the fact that you still have SO many peaches left.
- Eat the entire peach cobbler (well, share a corner with someone you love) and look at what’s left of SO many peaches.
- Write a haiku about SO many slurpy peaches.
- Decide it’s time to do something with SO many peaches still remaining in the crate. Peel, slice, freeze . . .
- Smile at the thought that when you’re tum-tum is ready again, there will be SO many peaches waiting for you in the freezer!
Peaches. It’s what’s for dinner.

Yes, you had me drooling for peaches, especially that peach cobbler! Yummy. We are “watching” our weight! No dessert for me but possibly I will get used to it. Hah! I’ve had a sweet tooth since I was born, my Grandparents routinely gifted me with Chocolate lollipops and my grandmothers were fabulous bakers and so then was my Mom. I guess it comes down to self control, but WHY?!
But peach cobbler is FRUIT (therefore, not “dessert”)!
I remember pancakes floating in maple syrup…
