tonight i’m heading downtown with my lovely wife in order to do something that i’ve never done which is to see a live music show by billy bragg. I’ve been to live music in the burg, but didn’t get out to any in nyc or chicago yet, and well i’ve never really done one like this. should be fun.

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.
