A PEACHY LABOR DAY

It's Labor Day so naturally we're laboring in the studio whilst Izzie snoozes in the extra office chair and Chase ploops down, extremely bored because I have to work and not play with him. We're working on the latest manual...a fiberglass book of about 120 or so pages. I'm at page 99 today, and bleary eyed from being on the computer too long.

Meanwhile, the tomatoes keep ripening! These will go for marinara sauce.

Peach season is late this year with the 49er peaches just ready now. Some places do get a price for them this year! 9 bucks for 8 peaches at the SOS packing house is a bit much! With the wet, cool spring this year, most everything is late. Seems like the bees didn't like the weather either, as the crop is about 40% down from normal, so prices are much higher. I found these at Harry & David for 79 cents a pound. Now that's more like it!

I tray froze some (about 3 sliced peaches per tray) and then vacuum packed them with my trusty FoodSaver machine. Each pouch will do one crostada. They should be good this winter!
