Peach Bliss From Carroll Farms

 
 
 
 

I have been frantic this past two weeks-worried that I might get too busy and forget to head down to middle Georgia for our Lane Peaches-when happily I was directed to a peach packing company in my own backyard.

Carroll Farms is located in neighboring Merriwether County, Georgia-a hop, skip and a jump from Coweta County. Their roadside stand offers fresh peaches by the bag, bushel and box and are picked from trees right across a narrow country road.

While excited to get a box of large, firm freestone peaches-we also sampled their refreshing soft-serve peach ice cream made from a family recipe! Owner, Kay Carroll Barnes, graciously allowed us to snap photos of her family, peach trees and popular roadside stand decorated with rustic signs and oversized rockers!



Paired with a Fig and Mamey Syrup I created yesterday, Ron and I enjoyed a vitamin-packed soy shake of fresh peaches and Blueberry Yogurt! The only comments uttered during the consumption of our enriched shake "WOW".

Artist-Walter Anderson

    Make time for the Walter Anderson Museum, an eccentric artist whose work has been labeled "intense and evocative". A daily ritual of rowing twelve miles to an isolated barrier island provided Anderson the opportunity to paint and draw the island's vegetation, birds, animals and insects. Stunning water colors and intricate patterns allow a glimpse into the lonely mind of a brilliant artist. Located on the main street of charming Oceans Springs, Mississippi.

Parrot Fish

Image
Asian-style Parrot Fish Dark soy, sesame oil mixed with a little olive oil, freshly-grated ginger and garlic! Yum. A little chopped green onion and blood orange. Yes! One of my last blood oranges was squeezed for a citrus marinade that made for a nicely-flavored and springlike taste! I might be rushing the seasons a little but this easy recipe would certainly be good anytime of the year! The Parrot Fish has a nice firm texture with lots of flavor. The bones were easily removed from the meat and so the yield is very good. I grilled the fish on the infrared for about eight minutes and finished it off in a very hot oven! Definitely worth a try!
