Day Three: In Which Mama Taps In To Her Domestic Goddess

Peach season; I had an inspiration to make an old school dessert-Peach Melba.
Had to go with Nigella Lawson's recipe, as she's so fabulous!

Prepping peaches early in the day. Also froze 2 bags of sliced peaches for the winter.



All other steps undocumented...
but one of the steps was poaching the peaches in a sugar syrup. Afterwards, I had an inspiration-steep lavender in the poaching liquid [a friend has shared a recipe for lavender-peach jam and I have lavender on hand to make up a batch of that...]. Wow! The resulting lavender-peach syrup is sublime.

Anyway, here they are enjoying the lavender-less peach Melba.

Day One

365 Project 2012/13-Day 1
A 'snapshot' of each day for a year using one or more photos.
At the library-
Stella [4yrs, 4months]

I love that the book is so interesting she has to sit down right there and have a look.
Cary [just shy of 19 months]

She loves babies! This is a board book version of a book we own, 'Oh, Baby'
