Memorial Day Art

Memorial Day is coming soon. Being from the South my grandparents always called it Yankee Memorial Day because there is a Confederate Memorial Day but I don't even know when that is! According to Google there wasn't a separate Confederate Day so maybe I'm not remembering things correctly or my grandfather was a little mixed up.
Even though we are supposed to be honoring those military personnel who gave their lives for us I still think of my father. He didn't die in battle but was a p.o.w. in World War II. He was in Stalag 17 which a movie and a play was based on. There were rumors that Hogans Heroes was a comedy based on Stalag 17 but those were not true.

A Georgia Peachy Blog

The peaches are flowing in Middle Georgia! Our peach farms are packing their products to ship out! Did you know the Peach Festival cooked the world's largest peach cobbler this past weekend? Here is my grandmother's favorite recipe: 

Now all good Southern cooks are dump cooks which means we use approximately the right amount of ingredients and then change things as we see fit. My grandmother cooked with a gas stove that had no temperature control so check on the cobbler after 30 minutes cooking time! And don't forget to add a dollop of vanilla ice cream! 

Here's another Peachy tidbit- have you heard of the Eat A Peach album by the Allman Brothers? The Allman Brothers were brought to Macon, Georgia in the early 70's by their manager, Phil Walden of Capricorn Records. (Phil was my cousin's high school sweetheart and loved pulling my pigtails!) Before they got big and famous, the Allman Brothers would jam on Sunday afternoons in Central City Park. Wonderful Peachy Music!!
