Something else you can do with extremely ripe peaches is cookies. Take any sugar cookie recipe and add peach pulp or diced fresh peaches. Use about the same quantity has the fat and increase the flour a half cup. You can also add almond extract or shaved almonds, cinnamon and/or nutmeg. They come out like peach cobbler.

Not sure what you posted (too lazy to search). Have you used peaches for making BBQ sauce? Yummy. Also good in spicy salsa

There is a peach salsa just up the page, about 7-8 posts.
 
Since we seem to be in de peach mode (sorry. couldn't resist), here is a slightly modified Food Network peach ice cream.

2 cups half-and-half
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup peach preserves (not jelly)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp amaretto or 1/2 tsp almond extract
Pinch kosher salt

Put everything in a sauce pan and heat to 170° F/80°. Allow to cool, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. The next halve four peaches. Sear or grill until well browned, but do not char. Skin should slide off at this point. Chop and add to the chilled cream mix. Freeze in an ice cream freezer.

An interesting variation is to use plums or even cherries instead of peaches. Avocado also works but you will need to adjust sugar. More if you want sweet. Less or omit sugar for an almost savory effect.

Seared peach halves are a traditional European dessert. Add sugar if you want, but purists would use fresh herbs, eg thyme, and a dollop of cremé fraiche.
 
Last night,

Portillo's Chopped Chicken Salad

Tonight,

Vegetable chow mein
 
Pad Woon Sen
Spring roll.
 
Bacon-wrapped Filet Mignon with oven roasted Brussels sprouts and a Foster's beer. First time making it at home, was part of a gifted package from Omaha steaks.:)
 
We had veggie burgers with Asian slaw. I made it extra spicy.

Had a big lunch so it was a light dinner: lightly fried kimchi dumplings, romaine and tomato salad with my citrus balsamic reduction dressing, and a few bites of dark chocolate from my stash- the local imported deli had 75% off on French dark chocolate bars, so I bought about 4.5 pounds worth for only $20. (Cool huh?)

ha! I'm partial to dark chocolate myself. Which the wife, how unfortunate, doesn't like. So, when we get it, I just have to bear the load on my own. I'm a saint, I tell ya, a saint. :lol:
 
slice of Little Caesars veggie deep dish pizza. just got waylaid by the cold that's pummeling the area, and this was one of the few things that sounded good.
 
Breakfast for dinner. So, toasted bagle w/ a bit of cheddar and over-very-easy eggs on top, with sausages on the side...
 
Reading this thread on an empty stomach is not a good idea. I'm about to raid my kitchen now. :lol:

Yesterday we roasted a bunch of chicken, so made some chicken alfredo fettuccine last night and tonight is chicken flautas.

Sugar cookie mixes are versatile. You can add orange extract and cranberries (use the dried ones since they are sweetened), lemon extract and blueberries (fresh), lemon and poppy seeds or sunflower seeds, M&Ms, use your imagination.

The same goes for oatmeal cookie recipes. Raisins are traditional, but try different dried fruits, cut up candy orange and walnuts is an old Christmas tradition in my family, chocolate chips, Reese's Pieces and choc chips, an interesting one is orange zest and candied ginger.
 
Ok, so we have the impossible whopper, but who'll be brave enough to try KFC's beyond fried chicken?

Glad you are feeling better. Next time, real chicken soup with fresh grated horseradish. Clears the sinuses and everything else, or a vegetable broth with fresh grated horse radish, a close second. Remember, wasabi is pickled horse radish mixed with fresh grated horseradish.

Tonight we are dining on Shushbarak, spicy lamb sausage filled doughy dumplings in garlic yogurt sauce topped with toasted pine nuts, following smoked whitefish with fresh grated horse radish, and vinegary green salad with lots of thin onion slices, halved pitted Tunisian olives. A bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Grenache de Pierre, Domaine Giraud 2012 bought back when for $32 a case of 12, now about $180 per bottle. A very fruity and spicy red. Our last of this fine wine. An arrangement of late blooming variegated petite gladiolas on the dinner table for my wife, a gift from a neighbor's garden.

You can get by with a veggie broth and fresh grated horse radish. Not only clears the sinuses, but the kidneys adore the anti-inflammatory benefits. :)
