this is a brilliant idea.

10 peaches

1 cup skim milk

1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

2 tablespoons sugar

2 shots rum

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

step 1.

peel peaches…. bring big pot of water to boil, when water is boiling make small pot of ice water too. put peaches in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer to ice water, then the peels slide off. 3 or 4 at a time is best

step 2.

remove pits from peaches and mush them with hands

step 3

blend peaches to smooth consistency, mix in other ingredients, blend until smooth and creamy, though some lumps will add character.

possible additions: 1/4 cup of yogurt, pine nuts, chopped figs, nectarine bits.

A copyright is supposed to protect a creator’s intellectual property and ensure that the copyright holder’s work isn’t nefariously misappropriated. However, they don’t always work so well; just ask anyone who has fond memories of Napster circa 2000. Not all copyright battles are Metallica-initiated, though. Take, for example, these three instances of infringement.
