Yessiree, Utah grows peaches. The hairdressers (always a go-to for info, thanks Susan and Jeni) told Jim’s parents to go to Brigham City and specifically to a restaurant called Maddox because they grow their own beef (as does my father-in-law). They went en route from the place the gold spike used to be when the intercontinental railroad was joined. Not only did they have a wonderful beefy lunch, they brought us back two pieces of peach pie with whipped cream!
I’m not a dessert person but these peaches were among the tastiest I’ve ever had. I’ll have to find some at the market tomorrow and make something useful of them, or just eat them plain, outdoors so that juicy goodness doesn’t go all over the floor.
Now I’ve got a bunch of apples to use and want to try to make either my mother’s recipe for Apple Brown Betty, or chef Margaret Fox’s version with oatmeal that I used to make at her restaurant as an apprentice. I have Margaret’s recipe but it’s in storage 1,500 miles away. I never bake so will have to search for a perfect recipe online. I may have to cook in in 8×8″ pyrex because all my baking dishes are in storage as well. May as well give it a try. A report will be forthcoming. Cheers, Dee
