Although I bought both ripe and un-ripe peaches on Saturday, those that I didn’t use in the first cobbler were already ripe by Monday given the heat wave we had over the weekend. Although making another recipe meant a ton of peach cobbler in the house, I didn’t want to waste the fruit (and so [...]

Update Your Bookmarks
Ici Ice Cream has a new website! Remember them?

Soothing pastels abound.
I also found out that if you call Ici (510.665.6054 ) you [...]

More Dessert Gifts!
I love them! Keep them coming!
