Somehow lost in the excitement of year-round marathoning, our local Lafayette Peach Festival dropped off my radar – missed the past 2 years. Luckily [thanks to Ash], World’s back on its axis. Spin on, folks. Kiddo scoped out the date, marked the calendar – absolutely ZERO chance of missing this year’s offering. Palisades peaches.
Sweetest, juiciest and messiest PEACH on the Planet. YUM! Group-purchased a FULL flat with Ash & Tom this year. $45/box; not cheap but mighty deee-lish. Ate ‘til my gut protruded; pitted/quartered/froze the rest. Will be a welcome treat when the snow flies 😊
the Tale of Colorado’s GREAT SUMMER PEACH doesn’t end there.
Tuesday Aug 21st – SIXTH year of shark tornadoes AND a slice of HOMEMADE PEACH pie. Birthday Pie #2. Different crust, different fruit – result? Our Betty Crocker of the Rockies homered again, outta the Park. Not just a baker, Ash’s a PIE-making SAVANT. True life talent revealed. Away with the mixer. Buttercream piping – be gone.
Hear ye! Hear ye! I Decree: BIRTHDAY PIE, every year 🥧❤️

No matter the poison – sweet, savory, fruit, meringue. Cake or pie? It’s pie EVERY time.
Better than pie? Hmm. Pie WEEK! With Stephen local thru Saturday, Ash upped the ante with TWO birthday celebrations. But she’s cookin’ dinner just once. HAHA – deal! 👍
Birthday Pie #1: HOMEMADE Strawberry Rhubarb. Boiled/prepped raw rhubarb, crust from scratch, lattice top. Deee-lish!
Birthday Dinner? Shrimp kebob, corn on-the-cob, lamb & fresh veggies. Outside grilled, the BEST! Hey did I mention this was Ash’s FIRST EVER homemade PIE? Perrrfect.
Friday nite treat: Dinner theatre for 4. Yep, ’tis the season – SUMMER – ’cause we theatre EVERY season. LOL> Back in Johnstown this quarter, that’s 3 in a row at Candlelight Dinner Playhouse. Learned all ’bout the rough/seedy side of newspaper delivery in 1900’s Brooklyn – NEWSIES! Dig our Colorado family tradition ❤️
