Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 We get peaches from the valley next door, one mountain range to the West. A three or four hour trip. Same latitude, but the rain shadow of the Coast Mountains gives the Okanagan a much warmer, drier climate. The farmer's market features a woman who brings over organic produce from that region.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hey y'all, Fancy stuff I won't do .. can't do .. but I love peaches. They are also in full season here in Turkey now .. some are the size of a softball and cheaper'n dirt .. and there's a green grocer just beside my home .. so I get a kilo or so every few days. I slabbed a kilo or so 2 days ago .. poured a half liter of Puerto Rican Rum over'em .. added a tad or three of Malibu .. and shook a fair amount of cinnamon into the mix. I snack on those rascals throughout the day. Finer'n frog hair split three ways .. makes me grin a lot. :-P Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I am so glad to hear this news because my son loves his pumpkin pie. this could be a nice alternative to try for him. Have to find ways to send it to him a college though.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 wow that's the first I heard about not being allowed to ship food. My husband works for the USPS I'll have to ask him about that when he gets home. He did say that yes it is true that if you ship glass and it breaks that the USPS will not pay to replace it. They toss those boxes into bins and no matter what you write on them they don't care. They have time restraints and can't be bothered to take care of a fragile package. They lob those things back and forth like foot balls.

I even asked at the border when we crossed and they looked at me as if I was insane to even think I could send food stuffs over the border.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 You can apply for a permit to send food over the border ... it applies to commercially made products, not homemade ones (silly, eh?) here's the link for more information http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~pn/pnmail.html Shelley sewingstorms wrote: >Just remember that is from Canada to the USA.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I made a peach salsa last night and served it over grilled mahi-mahi. I roasted a green bell pepper over the flame on my stove and peeled off the charred skin, removed the seeds and chopped it coarsely. I pitted and peeled a peach. I chopped up the pepper and peach in the food processor and then added a small tomato and some fresh basil and processed it a little bit more then added a splash of rice wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. I sauteed the salsa a couple of minutes before serving it over the fish. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
