Peach Processing Project

Interlude

I worked with some chatbots to write a program to take a URL (or several URLs) of my own toots and build a template blog post out of them. Here’s my first one! My hope is that it’ll be easier to blog if I can reuse content I’m already posting elsewhere with minimal extra work. Here’s a github repo of that code.

Peach toots

I finally processed my peaches!

I waited about a week and a half since picking these from my neighbor’s tree (overhanging in my yard), and they were an ideal age for blanching and peeling.

Peaches laying on a wooden kitchen island. 4 in front are dry and fuzzy. Several in back left are darker and turning from brown to a sort of reddish, many in back right are brighter: a deep red with yellow splotches, all shiny and wet and peeled and lined up on a black cutting board. Shiny wet peeled peaches in red and some yellow lined up 5x7 on a black cutting board Top down view of half peaches on parchment paper, shiny and peeled, reddish with yellow splotches Closeup lower angle photo looking into mounds of lined up peach halves
