Wendy and the Giant Peach

Author Roald Dahl wrote his book, "James and the Giant Peach" in 1961.  Walt Disney later turned it into an animated movie in 1996.  "Wendy and the Giant Peach" is currently playing on North Ashe Avenue!

Wendy went to our local produce stand yesterday in search of some fresh South Carolina peaches to make another one of her famous pies.  I had to do a double take at the basket she placed on the kitchen counter...

I looked up "world's biggest peach" on the internet and found that it weighed in at 26.5 ounces.  We don't have a record holder, but take a look at these...
Picture
13.6 ounces
Picture
15.3 ounces
They sure are pretty and even though they are not quite ripe yet, I tasted one yesterday and it was so sweet!

As I sit here creating this Peachy Postcard, Wendy is measuring and mixing and making her pie crust for one of her extraordinary peach pies.  Murphy is wondering if she'll get a piece.

So many peaches...what else can we make?   Peach pie and peach cobbler...peach sorbet and peach ice cream...peach enchilada and peach salsa...peach cake and peach puffs...peach sangria and peach mojitos...peach tart and peach trifle...peach crisp and peach crumble.  Oh my.....this is making my mouth water and head spin!

It's going to be a tasty Wednesday with Wendy and the Giant Peach.  Thanks for stopping by to pick your Peach Postcard!!

P.S...down at the bottom of the basket we found a peach that weighs 1 pound 3 ounces...a new Newton record!!
