For me, it's Soulard's Farmer's market in StL. Better prices on better
produce than the grocers. $15 brings back so much good food. No salt,
no SMG, no preservatives, much healthier.

And so flavorful, to boot.

Bob,
This is from the August 2009 issue of Gourmet.

is so beautiful and looks like it would be wonderful with ANY peaches!
The recipe is quite simple it uses the broiler. Good luck!
