Just Baking. . .

 I found these huge peaches and decided Peach Crumble was just the thing. So I boiled some water and plunged them in to peel off the skins. Easy, no knife needed.

 Then I sliced them into the dish, one for me and one for the dish. Yum, warm slippery peachiness. I sprinkled some sugar and cinnamon and proceeded to make the crumb topping.
1/4 c brown sugar,
1/2 cup white sugar,
1 stick butter
1/2 c flour
1/4 c quick cooking oats
more cinnamon and a handful of sliced almonds.
Cut the butter into the dry ingredients and spread over the top of the peaches. Set oven to 375 and slide a cookie sheet under the dish for inevitable bubbling over sugary drips.
 Then while it bakes, wash a dog or two. Chester first as he is a good dawggie in the sink, mostly and then because Chumley is always jealous, he gets a bath too. And so do I and the kitchen floor.
 Dawggie Mortification.

 But finally a kiss from the Chumster, since he knows he is on camera.



The finished peach crumble cools on the counter and eventually gets doled into bowls and topped with vanilla icecream. It's just an ice cream delivery device in the end. Decadent.

We lost our internet and tv Thursday afternoon and it was just awful to have no connection. But the connecting outlet in the wall was replaced just an hour ago and life is supremely beautiful again. Perhaps a bit of sweets for a celebration?
