Craving a really good fresh peach. Cold. Juicy. Ripe. Don't see many peaches. Then too peaches bring back a lot of memories. Late summer was a time when peaches were "canned" when I was growing up. "Canned Peaches", of course, really was the term for "bottled in quart jars", under pressure. The peaches would be sliced, peeled and put in a steam kettle with a lot of sugar and then cooked under pressure. I am not sure why all the sugar was necessary. I remember seeing the pressure cooker all locked down with water almost boiling inside and always wondered what would happen if it blew up?My dad had a bowl of peaches "every" morning for as long as I could remember. They were for many years the bottled peaches but for a lot of those years they were canned peaches and in this sense canned was in cans, store bought, not bottles. If one was to buy canned peaches then California Yellow Cling was the best. On the other hand for Fresh Peaches, "Brigham City Utah Peaches" were the best.

I of course read a couple of blogs every day. They often have "lists". Things that were done the last month. Things that are favorite's. Lists of books and all kinds of favorites. I have not often put those kinds of lists on my blog but then maybe today? A list of favorite foods over the years....................................
*
Peaches (fresh), Raspberries (fresh), Snicker Bars, KJ's Special Chocolate Cookies, French Toast, Waffles with fresh raspberries, berries and whipped cream, Jello with fruit, KJ's special Banana Split Desert, KJ's Lasagna, creme brulee, Lobster, halibut, KJ's special yams, Strawberries (fresh), grapes, carrot raisin salad, Lion House rolls and so on. I suppose I ought to put a warning on this blog not to read if your on a diet but then what are the odds that my favorites would be much of a temptation anyway? Probably less than 47.5%. Then again I read just today that most statitics are made up on the spot. I would figure that there is a 91% odds that the last sentence is accurate.
