Peachy

I ate with my Dinner For Eight group from church last night. I love the style of the woman who hosted. She’s got an elegant sixties vibe going. Before we ate, we all had cocktails mixed from the bar. I made my first Manhattan. I was just okay. Not bad, but not good.

I was assigned to bring the salad. I was excited because I thought maybe I could use peaches. My peach tree in my back yard is loaded with small peaches. While working in the garden the other day I ate one. It was delicious.

I could hardly believe it!  It tasted just like a peach!

I searched for a salad recipe that used peaches and found one. It’s spinach, peaches, toasted pecans, and poppy seed dressing. It was tasty.

This was before the dressing.  I let the diners dress their own salad because I tend to put on too much.

The dinner went late! I thought retired people were supposed to be “early to bed” kind of people. But in spite of the late hour, I had fun. It was delicious food and great company.
