shopping

Crowded at this time of day. Probably should go at a later time. New meat item is lamb ribs.

Ever see a large truck with the air horns mounted behind the cab facing perpendicular (to the sides)! awesome, LOUD

 

fruit crisp

I’m sure everyone has made a version of this using different fruit.

add brown and white sugar together

flour

cut in butter

sprinkle the mixture over fruit

bake in a moderately hot oven

good alone , but better with ice cream, or (whipped) cream.

Fruit tarts made with bread dough

With leftover dough, I usually have some leftover when I make a batch of dough for pizza, I would probably roll it out, and using fruit and make sort of a turnover. But after reading a post from Modern Christian Women Mini Muffin Pizza Bites, I grabbed the muffin tin. I used a full size muffin tin instead of mini muffin pan.

Divide the dough into 12 pieces, place in the muffin tins previously buttered and press into place up the sides.

In a cast iron skillet, add butter and fruit with some brown sugar, this step is not probably necessary, but it will give a bit of a glaze to the fruit. Cook a few minutes to soften peaches and defrost the frozen raspberries in this case.

I put two slices of peaches and some raspberries in each muffin cup.

Let rise and bake.

Excellent for breakfast and also to pack for your toolbox table at work coffee break.

If you want them a bit sweeter, mix 10x sugar and milk for a glaze and drizzle.

Wow, my first day of Workshare furlough !!!

We were lucky, there was good weather this day and it’s a pleasant ride through northern RI.

A good way to spend times outdoors gathering fruit picked your own way.

We made peach pie, peach and raspberry crisp and some of the fruit was frozen, jammed and macerated.
