Peaches!!

So, I'm a Georgia girl. I hate to admit it, but I kinda am. But only kinda. Georgia is famous for it's peaches. Which is strange, in a way, as it produces significantly fewer peaches than California and Washington. Idaho, Oregon, NY, South Carolina produce about as many peaches as Georgia. And this year, the Georgia crop was small and over with by like June. Peaches just showed up here a couple of weeks ago and are expected to last for 3-4 more weeks. I'm off to my favorite place, Sauvie Island to pick peaches, maybe some corn and dahlias. I don't need corn or dahlias. But, they're just fun to pick. And I think I'll make a corn potato chowder. I've got to start actually cooking. One cannot live on root beer floats alone. Though one could/should try.

....About Peach Sorbet
It's jam without the sugar.
Ice cream without the fat.
Daiquiris without the ice.
And cobbler without the crust.
Peaches, alcohol, sugar and lemon. Frozen.
It's heaven.
