The apartment complex Ariesna and I live in is located directly behind a grocery store. The store is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except for a couple of holidays). Given it is only about a 5 minute walk to get inside the store; we tend to leave the decision of what to have for dinner till it is time to make dinner. The upside is we don’t have to keep a lot of food around the house and we can get fresh meats/fruits/veggies for dinner. The downside is we are frequentally tired after work and just grab some sort of box meal, like Hamburger Helper, as we don’t always feel up to doing real cooking. Tonight, like many nights, neither one of us knew what we wanted for dinner. I started poking around online looking for a recipe to try and found the following recipe AllRecipes.com.

I think Ariesna mostly made this dish to humour me. She hates peaches. But from the moment she pulled it from the oven, I was sure we had a winner. The scents coming off the pie were mouthwatering. Then I got myself a plate, a fork and took a bite.
Oh. My. Gawd. It was GOOD! The brown sugar mixture carmelized over the meat creating a heavenly glaze. And the juices of the peaches soaked throughout the meat, every bite was delectable.
AWelkin, does this dish sound good to you? We’re thinking about making it again when you and Bryon come over on Friday.
If we do end up making this again on Friday, I’ll try to remember to snap a couple of photos of it.
I’m sorry. As I mentioned to Michelle, there’s no way we could get Bryon to eat this. Sweet meat and ketchup are not on his hit parade.
I might try a bit at some other time, but I have to admit that it sounds a bit Lutheran potluck for my tastes. 🙂 Yeah, I know, this from the woman who eats haggis.
I did say I would try it.
