Diary: Peaches

Wore my purple bali gypsy earrings for inspiration
Worked online
Created digital image of Hestia
Vacuumed the dining room, den, and family room
Talked to the cats
Picked basil, thyme, and rosemary
Made herb bread and spaghetti for supper
Checked on the bell peppers and tomatoes
Used seashells to create a border for my mint patch
Laundry for the boys and Michael
Read Michael Pollan about cooking and baking
Planned meals for next week
Froze some more organic peaches

Freezing peaches:

Crush a vitamin C tablet in a bowl, and add a little water to dissolve.  Peel and slice peaches.  Gently stir them into the water to coat.  Measure into freezer bags, press out air, and freeze them flat.
The vitamin C helps preserve the color and flavor of the peaches ~ I learned this from Alton Brown's site.  I can attest that they work great for cobbler or pie!  You can add a couple spoonfuls of sugar to the water if you want, in which case you should reduce the amount of sugar in your recipes by a bit when you use the peaches.  Have a peachy day!
