Peach Melba

 I bought a box of peaches at Costco because they looked so good . . .

Then, I found myself in a race to use them all before they spoiled . . .

So I decided to try a recipe I'd often heard about, but never tried:  Peach Melba.  The recipe is simplicity itself:  A peach half poached in a Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup, covered in a homemade Raspberry Sauce, with some toasted almond slices scattered on top, and served with Vanilla Ice Cream.  Oh, my!  It was delicious!

I had to show it off on top of this lovely botanical print Peaches and Cherries kitchen towel . . .

I wasn't completely satisfied with my first styling, so I tried again the next day . . .  It was delicious both ways.

Do not take this precious right for granted!
