peachy keen

 


If you see this- my kitchen counters covered edge to edge- it can only mean one thing. The Peach Truck came to town

Uncoincidentally my making thoughts this week are peach-centric. The fruits all ripen at the same time,.  Each one is the platonic ideal of a peach. We've eaten a ton as is.  Made a peach cobbler yesterday (too much lemon, turns out juice of a half lemon was not a great idea) and I'll make another one (less lemony). Some might get frozen.  One year we made a big pitcher of white wine sangria with peaches,...that was good! They are so juicy and never a bad one. Tell me your fave peach recipes please.


Knitting? Still on this sleeve. Reading? Forcing myself through the last 3 hours (audiobook) of Katabasis, on 1.3x speed to help it go.  I'll only recommend it if you are deep in academia, it lampoons that world wickedly. For me? Tedious!  I'm not a fantasy fiction person so there's that too. Next week I'll have a new knit and a new book! 

Leaving you with this sweet goat who stopped to strike a pose on the way out to pasture. I was at Olympia Farm scouting, I plan to have my Knit Stars videos teaching photography for knitters segments filmed there, after the film crew visits me (GULP) at my home base. I thought why not lean into my She Shoots Sheep Shots tendencies?! We'll have a (real person) model with a shawl and also some lessons on still life shooting of their lovely farm yarn etc in the segments. I really really hope the weather will be good!  

PS I am serious about the peach recipes!

The sangria sounds amazing! I have no peach recipes... I don't think I've ever made anything with peaches! I usually just stand over the sink to catch the drips while I eat it!
