GEORGIA PEACH TEA

This past weekend we went to Summerville for the "Celebrate Elsie" birthday party that my niece, Tamika, had on Saturday for my mother who passed in April. It was not just a party. She did a fantastic job and we all had a great time. My nieces, Roxy and Darionna, led it off by singing Amazing Grace. Yes, there was a whole program set up with programs printed out. It was great. My nephew, the chef, made a huge pot of jambalaya and I made a huge pot of gumbo. These were two huge stockpots full and it was all gone by the end of the night. Tamika, also, had little gift bags made up of Mommy's favorite candies. Sunday Sue and I took Quentin, Jr., her grandson, my great-grandson, to Darionna's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. We left the baby home with Bill and Otis. We came home today and I am now resting. We had to get up early today because we had a problem with the car that we needed fixed before we got on the road. Thanks goodness I was able to get in touch with Roxy's friend who owns an auto repair shop.

GEORGIA PEACH TEA

1 peach, peeled and diced 2 green tea bags

1/2 cup green seedless grapes (garnish) 2 + cups ice

2 cups water 3 tbsp sugar

Put water in a medium pan and bring to a boil. Add tea bags and let sit off heat for 4 minutes. Meanwhile place peaches (reserve a few for garnish) and any juice collected from cutting them into a pitcher with 2 cups of ice. Once tea has steeped remove the tea bags and add sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour tea into pitcher, stir and serve over ice. Garnish the glasses with a skewer of grapes alternating with peaches. Makes 4 servings and is delicious!

Now I am going to ChaCha a bit and go to bed. Have a great night!!!

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
