Peach Ice Cream, A William's Sonoma Recipe

 

 

 

Since we had such delicious peaches, we borrowed LL's ice creamer maker, a Kitchenaid mixer attachment, and made two batches of William's Sonoma Fresh Peach Ice Cream.

 

A great, rich recipe. It comes out a bit soft-serve, so we pressed some plastic wrap right onto the ice cream, them sealed the freezer container. Kept it fresh and non-icey for days.

 

For the very last serving of the first batch, I crumbled some French butter cookies (Sablés) into the ice cream. Delicious!

 

So Sad to See You Go

 

 

An early morning as the last of the Fun Kids head to O'Hare Airport and Denver. There were tears. There were many hugs, and promises to Facetime soon.

 

There are gifts and left-behinds to mail. There are future trips to DIA for CA and I and to ORD for them. Mid-October? Thanksgiving? December 28th! We've committed to a late December visit so that DM and MK can attend a big annual Cru conference.

 

We had such fun. We had such plans. Still more fun things to see and do on future visits. We'd only just begun...

 

Something Happened Last Night

 

 

We have a wanky curve in front of our house. Our part of the cul-de-sac is a funky swirl. In fact, you can't really pull up tightly to the curb if you're trying to park with-traffic. I've learned to pull straight in, facing the wrong direction.

 

Still... This guy, whoever, had to know he did some damage. This and a smashed sprinkler head.

 

Life happens.

Really, Victoria's Secret. Even if this "play" on words is intentional, Americans do not need more examples of poor grammar.
