What we've got cookin'

This morning we picked 13 pounds of white peaches and a pound of plums. I'm going to let them ripen for another day or two and then there will be some major peach creations coming out of our kitchen (I hope!).

This afternoon I managed to pick 8 cups of basil leaves from our, still small, basil plants in the garden and turned them into some delicious homemade pesto. I also cut up our CSA cucumbers and tried my hand at refrigerator pickles. We'll see how they turn out.

Andy spent his afternoon preparing some delicious Caribbean pork, which the girls (especially Cora) even enjoyed. He served it with a homemade pineapple pepper chutney and grilled romaine. Awesome dinner.
