Happy birthday I hope you have a great day
 
Happy birthday
 
Hope your enjoying your birthday.
 
Well, thank you one and all. Not that I needed reminding, since when did I get this close to retiring? At work today (damn these leisure-industry jobs) but the sun is shining and I'm off to Aberdaron later for a little bite to eat. Just might take the latest invention with me...apple and pear tart. Hope it's as yummy as it looks.

Happy Birthday from New Jersey. That tart looks good. Do you use canned peaches. If you've made it ever with fresh peaches, do you use a regular peeler to peel them. Jersey had really great peaches. I have two peach trees, one a cling and the other a freestone. But it seems almost impossible to peel a ripe peach for cookiing...........................................Frankie

That tart was apple on top with a layer of stewed pears underneath ( and 'king delicious too, by the way), the next one will be apple and peach. We never get fresh peaches over here, have to come from foreign places. Had a holiday years ago where we went to visit some relatives in British Columbia and they had a fruit farm. Fresh peaches straight off the tree. Like a taste of paradise compared to what we get here. So I'll be using tinned peaches for the tart, any attempt to peel "fresh" ones is pretty much doomed to failure.

It's so nice just to pick them from the tree when they're ripe. My biggest problem is the squirrels who take 2 bites out a piece of fruit then go on to another. I have a cage that can trap them and took 15 of them out of the yard. I released them about 3 miles away in the woods. I had a plum tree that was in the back yard when I bought the house. It was never pruned but every year when it produced plums, a fungus would take over and destroy the fruit. I could have sprayed it to kill the fungus but I was never partial to plums as they always seemed too tart. One year, after all the bad plums had dropped off or died on the branch, I was under the tree looking up and saw one plum that was not affected by the fungus. It was just hanging there perfectly ripe and beautiful. I had to reach it with a rake but it came down easily and I caught it as it fell. I took a bite out of it and was totally shocked as it was the most sweetest, delicious thing I had ever eaten. I suddenly understood the term "sugar plum". Unfortunately, the tree went down in a storm within a year and never produced another crop............Frankie
