Peach Melba a classic dessert. A dish of peaches served with vanilla ice cream, raspberries and sauce.
Melba toast and Peach Melba are indeed related.
The dessert was created to celebrate famous and rather slender opera singer, Nellie Melba in 1892.
It is said when she gained weight in her later career the same chef created a thin baked toast for her diet—Melba Toast.
Other versions of this dessert use pears, apricots, or strawberries instead of peaches and use raspberry sauce or melted red currant jelly instead of raspberry purée.

It is always important that we buy only products bearing a "Made in the USA" label! By attention to this, we are promoting products manufactured in the USA—as well as products assembled in the USA.
We must also encourage litigation and legislative activity to strengthen and uphold labeling laws and standards.
On this day, (and on ALL days!) we should encourage American values around the world—having special concern for evironmental standards, labor rights, and human rights. We should eliminate child labor fully.
Most importantly, we must work to create good-paying jobs in the USA and a sustainable, environmentally sound, and healthy economy.

National Grape Popsicle Day, Weekend Meals, and Enjoy
National Grape Popsicle Day - Today is National Grape Popsicle Day! Weekend Meals - Laura and I enjoyed some splendid meals over the Memorial Weekend! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
National Grape Popsicle Day is celebrated on May 27 in the United States. The food holiday commemorates the taste, history, and culture of grape-flavored popsicles. Grape popsicles are typically sold with other flavors, including cherry, orange, banana, and root beer. They are available in slow melt and sugar-free alternatives as well.
Grape popsicles are frozen treats which are made using water, a popsicle stick, grape-flavoring (typically Jello or Kool-Aid) and sugar.
Laura and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Casa Ramos Friday evening.
Saturday, Laura produced some wonderful burger patties. I shredded two large Jalapeños and gave a third of this to Laura. She added this to minced garlic, ground sirloin, and various spices and herbs and formed four excellent burger patties.
I mixed the balance of the shredded Jalapeños to shredded white and red cabbage and shredded carrots. I produced a spicy, creamy dressing and mixed well, creating an outstanding cole slaw.
Sunday following service at Harvest Christian Center, friends accompanied us to Casa Ramos. We enjoyed an excellent meal, as always.
Casa Ramos is one of our favorite restaurants. The Corning restaurant is the first Casa Ramos family-owned chain of restaurants.
Monday morning, Laura created some awesome breakfast burritos. She combined grilled and chopped Johnsonville brats, chopped Jalapeños, oven fries, and various spices. She warmed some flour tortillas and rolled them into burritos.
One of these wonderful creations followed me to my office this morning.
