“That night, in addition to the rest of the cards—two hundred cards, printed on butter-colored cardstock and packed tightly into a heather-gray box—he gave her:
Six green 🍑 es.”

“I spent my summers bottling 🍑 es and my winters rotating
We spent the next day boiling and skinning 🍑 es.”
“Then again, if we were going to take cover on the mountain when the Feds came, I didn’t understand why we were canning all these 🍑 es. We couldn’t haul a thousand heavy Mason jars up the peak. Or did we need the 🍑es so we could bunker down in the house, like the Weavers, and fight it out?”
“We kept on bottling 🍑es.”
“I would hear their echo in the chirp of crickets, in the squish of 🍑es dropping into a glass jar, in the metallic chink of an SKS being cleaned.”
“I took in the pearly sink, the rosy tint of the carpet, the 🍑-colored rug.”
“Meanwhile, my family boiled and skinned 🍑 es, pitted apricots and churned apples into sauce.”
“New Year’s Day, Mother drove me to my new life. I didn’t take much with me: a dozen jars of home-canned 🍑es, bedding, and a garbage bag full of clothes.”
“So what if there were rotting 🍑es in the fridge and dirty dishes in the sink?”
Was looking for something made from potato (Idaho theme) that wasn’t latkes (I figured there might be someone else who wanted to make that). As is often the case, a patient came to my rescue- Lefse- a Norwegian Potato pancake, made often at the Holidays. Love a new challenge. I will bring a variety of sausages to go along.

“What the devil? You can’t expect to get a 🍑 offn a thorn-apple bush, can you?”

“You always dressed carefully … Stockings with seams. A peach 🍑 satin slip you let show a little on purpose, just so those peasants would know you wore one. A chiffon dress with shoulder pads, a brooch with tiny diamonds. And your coat. I was five years old and even then knew that it was a ratty old coat. Maroon, the pockets stained and frayed, the cuffs stringy.”
“A 🍑 -colored moon was already rising.”
It was National 🍑 month. Peach sorbet, salsa, bruschetta, pie, lasagna— amazing meal. Amazing view. Even a 🍑 moon for the drive home

“The other day I also heard him say, “Oh, brother, what a 🍑 !” about someone or other.)”
“When I took my brother to L’Arpège for his birthday, we got fourteen [small] courses, mostly of vegetables—haricots verts with 🍑 es and raw almonds dressed with basil and fresh mint; fresh shell beans with onion ravioli and tomato coulis—that made even the best of the old cuisine look like sludge.)”

Tomato can be a dessert, it is a fruit after all.
