Birthday week!
My dad’s birthday is the day before mine, so mid-July is
generally “birthday week” for us! This one was a lovely birthday – got a
pedicure, D took me out for a delicious dinner, and then he surprised me with
Sleep No More! Fantastic! And over the weekend, my parents are coming over to
spend the day.
As always, any celebration must occur around food, so lunch
is on the books. But it’s birthday week, after all, so I thought maybe
something extra was called for. And look at these delicious peaches and plumogranates
(have you ever heard of them?) that FreshDirect* had on offer!!
Yum. Combine that with pie week on TheKitchn, and you’ve got
a craving for a delicious peach pie right there. Of course what started with
peach pie could only grow bigger, so right now I’m planning an “afternoon tea”
with peach pie, blueberry scones, and cucumber-mint-cream cheese tea
sandwiches. All rounded out with a pot of good ol’ black tea and maybe some
pomegranate tea if we’re feeling fancy (aka if we want to do more dishes).
