Peaches! Get Your Peaches!: Grandpa Al's Freestone Peach Bake

No melons! No strawberries! Freestone peaches!

It's the peach call, y'all. Most of us remember it. 

When Grandpa Al was little, he went to the farmer's market on the weekends to buy a bushel of peaches. He resold them for $.25 a basket. It can be assumed that he'd told the family the story many times before because Rudy and Cliff chimed in to chant his famous sales pitch!

I was at the grocery the other day and I couldn't resist purchasing peaches. Since I began Huxtablogging, I've wanted to do something with this amazing fruit. I made a peach bake; it's not quite a cobbler—I've already made one of those. (Check it out here!) This is easy to make because you can adjust to your skill level. It's also veeeeeeeerrrrrry tasty! (I can't stop munching on it.)

Music Monday: Joe Williams, Grandpa Hanks

Ah, Grandpa Al Hanks!

As I watched S2E9, "Clair's Sister," I wondered who he was. His voice is hard to forget, that's for sure. (The song duet he sings with Phylicia at the end of the episode is stuck in my head right now.) I did a little research on Joe Williams and would like to feature him today for Music Monday!
