Wegmans makes a simply deadly new bakery item:



Over the weekend, we had it for dessert with one each of these equally deadly single-serving (3.5 ounce) sorbets that Haagen Daaz is now selling- to those who don't think a pint is, strictly speaking, a single serving.  Last night, after a particularly stressful day for all of us, Eleanor brought home another loaf, and we made do with some plain vanilla on the side.

The humidity finally broke here (it's up a little this afternoon but we've been AC-less for almost two whole days, the longest in weeks), so we all got a decent night's sleep last night. Me, even more so, because the animals let me sleep in all the way until 6 a.m. w00t!

Then Em got up, and we figured out why.

Her: Dad? Where'd you put the peach bread?

Me: In the cupboard.

Her: WHICH cupboard?

Me: The one over the microwave.

Her: It's not there!

Dog: (assumes look of complete innocence)

Me: Here, let me look!

Cupboard: (fails to yield peach bread)

Garbage can: (proves to yield, not just the one empty bread package Em had finished the night before, but also the one, picked up from the floor at 6 a.m., which Dad THOUGHT was the one Em had finished the night before)

Dog: (abandons all pretense and gloats)

At various times, we've had Peach Pie, Peach Melba, Peach Cobbler and Peach Jam. Now we have added Peach Fail to our recipe book.

Eleanor's bringing more home. Which will NOT be stored in that cupboard, and certainly not in with the dog food.

Have you never had Peach Pop? I don't remember who makes it but it usually hits stores about the same time as the Lewiston Peach Festival. Love it.

I had a cat once that would Search and Destroy any loaf of any kind of bread product left anywhere he could reach it. Part of it, he'd eat, and part of it he'd just tear to crumbs.

...peach bread?! Between that and the February chocolate-cherry bread, it's a good thing I don't live near a Weggies anymore...

Between this and the Sterling reference last weekend, I'm wondering if you're an expatriate from Upstate, or more from the NJ/MD/VA Southern Kingdom of the Tribes of Daniel W.

Born and raised in Elmira. :-D

I know it, of course; my sister's lived in Binghamton since I was 8, and 17/86 to 390 to the backroads to Batavia is my preferred way to and from there, but other than the occasional case and the one law school friend who settled there, Elmira has one connotation of almost religious significance for me:

My college roommates and I came down Route 13 in (I think) 1980 to see a film we'd heard much about, which was playing at (I also think) a small cinema on Lake Street but hadn't made it to Ithaca yet.

Surely you can guess the film.

I can't. And don't call me Shirley. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/)

HAH. That is too, too much.

So wait, did you go to Ithaca or Cornell?

[captainsblog.livejournal.com]

My degree's from Cornell, but I lived in Ithaca year-round for my last three full years, covered the city (and Ithaca College) for the Cornell Sun, and much preferred WICB to that Cornell radio station that Olbermann used to work at;)

Oh yeah, you're an upstate guy. :-D

This cracked me up. Oh, dogs. :)
