Peachy Keen!
However I am all about easy-delicious-fast.
As a child one of the comfort foods
that my mother would make is fruit soup. Whether is was strawberry,
blueberry or mixed berry. Nothing beat the warm fruit soup with ice cold
milk. I do not recall having peach soup but my
son asked if I could try it with peaches. I did find some recipes that resemble what we are use to, but remember my easy-delicious-fast policy!
So here is my version!
25-30 ripe white peaches
1 can of Whole Coconut Milk (13.5 oz.)
Rinse peaches, remove pit and put in a pot (yeap-leave the skin
on--it is good fiber). Simmer on low with a lid until peach's start
to boil in their own juices. Spoon 1/2 to 3/4 of the chunks into a
blender (reserving the remaining chunks). Blend and return to a pot. Add a can of coconut milk to the blended puree, stir till dissolved and add remaining peach chunks.
Optional to add vanilla and sugar--but mine was sweet enough! It is a healthy bowl of COMFORT! I like to freeze some for the winter months too!
Since I had more peaches I made some....
Peach Ice Cream
A few
years ago I discovered a recipe for making ice cream without an ice cream maker. I
make this for special occasions and have discovered many variations however my
favorite is adding cardamom and bits of vanilla fudge--OMG! There are many
recipes but this is the one I adapted for our home to be less sweet than those I have found.
4-cups of Whole or Heavy Whipping Cream
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (about 14 oz)
2 scraped
Vanilla Beans
6 peaches-diced
Blend cream, sweetened condensed milk and scraped vanilla beans in a mixing bowl.
When blended add diced peaches and freeze for at least 6 hour or overnight.
Invite your quilting friends and have fun!
Vanilla Bean is a must in this recipe!

Monkeying Around!
These are two of her quilts that she is donating to a wonderful cause through our guild. I usually get to quilt pieces that she will donate.
This turns out to be a win for every one. She gets her quilts quilted. I get to practice. And a child will be happy to receive these.
Doing squares all over a quilt is not as easy as I thought! This is a good brain exercise!!
This one is done with Angela Walters recent video clip to practice her technique of the Swirl Hook Video Tutorial. Which made this quilt more feminine looking.
This was done with all "Square in a Square" making it look more masculine for a boy.

Will We Or Won't We?
Go Out On The Boat!
Awoke to heat and overcast skies. Our plan is to head out on the boat since time is ticking away since our youngest soon heads back to Florida. So while the clouds linger, I have been working on our guild UFO Challenge piece. I know all of your quilts are perfectly square! But some of mine either have to be blocked or they just look nicer when blocked. There are several ways of blocking but I did take photos on how I do mine however I will post that after our meeting.
Here are a few pics blocking earlier today.
I was contemplating making jam but remembered the other day Kelly from Pink A Dot Quilts made a yummy pie. Being on the fence my son asked if I would make some Peach Soup. My mother always made us strawberry, blueberry or mixed fruit soup. It is a bowl of comfort!
