Andrew took a quick trip to Georgia to play in golf tournament with Gary and I took advantage of his trip to order a bounty of Georgia goodies. Here is what he came home with:
1) 12ish Peach County, GA peaches (folks, these are the real deal - there is nothing better)
2) 18 Sweetwater Blue Beers
3) 12 Jones Cream Soda (made with real cane sugar...also known as liquid cotton candy)
4) at least 12 vidalia onions (the real ones...you know Georgia has a trademark on Vidalia onions...its like bourbon, they have to come from one of the 14 counties in Georgia to be called Vidalia).
and the following from his parents' garden:
1) 6ish roma tomatoes
2) 3 slicing tomatoes
3) 3 jalapenos
4) 4 squash
5) 2 beautiful green bell peppers
6) rosemary
7) basil
8) parsley
9) cilantro
Last night for dinner we had grilled coconut honey lime shrimp with fresh cilantro and used a peach to top my ice cream. Tonight we are having grilled balsamic, basil chicken and peaches. Tomorrow we are going to have steaks with a rosemary rub and vidalia onion topping and squash. I will also be whipping up peach freezer jam, peach cobbler, peach ice cream, fresh salsa, and fresh bruschetta.
Company is always welcome - just bring your own meat and drinks, I don't share my Jones' or Sweetwater.

Don't forget to take photos of these wonderful meals for us to gawk at! So glad you got restocked! I bet Andrew was worn out from all that shopping!
Wish you were here now. Picked more tomatos and squash this morning. I'm dehydrating some now (aka - sun-dried tomatos); I'll put your name in the pot and for some pesto too. If anyone is going your way, I'll load you up again. Deer feasted on some of the okra plants; fence coming in the fall! I am NOT happy with the wildlife!
You are going to support open season hunting if they keep it up...and I sure wish I was there to get even more yummy goodness.
Friday Morning: Just picked more tomatos and squash. Hoping Gary and Lindley will come take some of the bounty; he's my only "in-town" child. :-)
