It was a quiet summer morning with the exception of the birds singing. The peach trees were loaded with a vibrance of reddish-orange,
Red Haven sweet peaches, my parents’ favorite. Over the Elberta, the Clingstone, Freestone, and the Donut peaches, even the delicious peaches I gather when I visit loved ones in Alabama– Chilton County Peaches, the Red Haven peach is my preference.
It’s the peach we picked when I was a child. It’s flesh has a reddish turn of color with deep hues of fuchsia, orange and golden-yellow. It’s delectable for canning preserves, jams and jellies, homemade pie, cobbler, not just to hold in hand and eat fresh. This peach is brilliant. It brings a smile to every mouth with the kindest nectar of good. Ask any age.
Fresh baked pie, who can resist?
So after preserving, baking pies and making into jams, the following days I put up a sale of baked goods and other foods for profit. It was a summer foods/bake sale.
My son and I cooked in the direct heat of the scorching sun for 5 1/2 hours straight, but we didn’t mind– It was a lot of fun, and to us it was like beach time. We had our electric skillets, refrigeration of the most sensible and easiest route, and plate warmers with silicone-covered food to keep the bugs at bay. It was perfect, a useful day planned out of wise management. This will happen again, one of those things worth repeating!
Yes, you can order, have, and eat very tender chicken gizzards if you so like– It’s all in the prep and seasonings, not only in the frying that make these delicious enough to willingly carry in a styrofoam cup to snack on once you leave our stand– from any location where we are. No menu remains the same. I like to have something funky on the list that you don’t find just anywhere. I prefer changing out the food-plan per area. You get a variety with a change of pace.
We had to consider those in a hurry, so this got on board, as well– brats and Polish kielbasas. Enjoy your work at play, put up a food stand if it’s your cup of tea; just enjoy the summer before it’s gone.
