Every year starting in August, I buy boxes of fruit that come right off the truck direct from Utah. This fruit comes once a week till around the 1st of October. We have a 2nd refrigerator out in the garage...and I store most of it in there. Take a look in 2 of the drawers. And that's not all of it! Keeping most of it in cold storage makes it last for weeks. I just take out enough for several days to ripen at room temp. And as you can see...there's plenty more to come back for! Check out those peaches!!
Today I decided to make something with pears for dessert. I tried a new recipe called Pear Gingerbread Cobbler. OH MAN!!! This was goooooooooood! I will be making it again. The recipe is from Betty Crocker Gold Metal. My thighs say thank you very much! ha ha ha I'll work it off with a couple hours of stamping :)
mmmm......my house was smelling so good! And I was burning a pumpkin pie candle from Gold Canyon Candles - awesome smells going on in my house! I wonder if the neighbors got a whiff?! hee hee hee.
I'm droolin' just looking at the pics!
