It's hard to believe that Summer is winding down already. (After all, with the kind of heat we get here in California, the feel of summertime can extend all the way to October...) Yet, here we are halfway through August. Vacation is over, Jon is enjoying kindergarten, and Labor Day is right around the corner. Appropriate to blast Lana Del Ray's "Summertime Sadness" everywhere I go? I think so...But before I completely give in to the blues, I'll be damned if I don't sneak in a few more fruit recipes! The days of the locally grown, picked-daily stuff are numbered, so I'll be trekking out to my neighborhood farmers markets and the fruit stands down the road while I still can. Today also happens to be National Rum Day, bringing some extra oomph to the phrase T.G.I.F! These Peach & Koloa Rum Pies are a tasty treat to keep the feel-good Summer going and a way to enjoy what's left of the season's bounty. Ripe peaches and tropical rum make a juicy filling inside a flaky buttermilk pie crust.
