Peaches and Cream

You know how certain foods make you relive childhood moments all over again? Well for me - this is one of those foods. Peaches and cream. I grew up with this tasty dessert for as long as I can remember. I remember living in California and going to Red Bluff with my sister Lynda and my Mom and Dad to pick peaches. I remember how huge, juicy, sweet and yummy they were. I remember coming home after the long day of picking and mom making peaches and cream just before we went to bed. How satisfying. For me anyway.

You need peaches - the amount doesn't matter. Generally 1 per person
Half and Half cream
Peel the peaches and slice into a bowl. I have to eat a couple of pieces to determine the sweetness factor. You go right ahead too. Then I have to add a little sugar. I just do. That's the way my mom did it. Don't ask - just do it too. Mix well and put the bowl in the fridge for a little while.
After dinner and just before bedtime scoop some peaches into a bowl and add some half and half cream. Enjoy!

Sounds super simple. I'll have to give this one a try. Is it kind of like eating peaches with cottage cheese?
