Inspired Peach Custard Tart and Travelling

The other week my sweet sister-in-law made us a yummy peach pie.
It had a shortbread crust and was still warm when she brought it.
We could hardly wait for dinner over the next few days as we looked forward 
to this delicious dessert!
Thanks so much Marilyn - what a treat.
You inspired me ....

Peaches are so in season right now and I purchased a little basket
of those rosy cheeked Red Haven wonders at the market.
When there were only a few peaches left and needed to be used up I hunted down a recipe
for a shortbread crusted peach pie and found this wonderful

To keep the rosy tone on the peaches, I scalded them with boiling water
for a few minutes.
Is this how you peel your peaches?

Love the colour of these beauties

I think I'll be making this recipe again and again - it was delicious!

We enjoyed it with some dear friends, Dianne and John
while chatting about their adventures and world travels.
Dianne writes a fabulous blog called
(click on the above link to view her blog)

They explore the world, house sitting and pet sitting in the most amazing places!
What a great way to travel and make new friends ...
They have inspired us to consider more travelling as well.




Till next time - enjoying this hot, hot summer we are having and thankful for a nice green lawn again after some much needed rains.

Be inspired ...........

  2. That tart is beautiful Rosella! A work of art. House sitting is an interesting way to travel. We met a couple in Oxford who were doing that.

  5. I can vouch for this one, it was delicious! I ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The downside, now I have to start jogging again. I hate jogging!

  7. It was wonderful to reconnect with you and the farmer, Rosella, and as for that peach custard tart it was incredible. Simply delicious, and yes, John really did eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Me? I'm not confessing, but I'll be joining him for that jog! ;-)
