Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> mostly... out in the sun it was pretty bad, though...  I heard
 NB>  NB>> that Rochester and Syracuse both had heat indexes of 110 on
 NB>  NB>> Saturday... I was thankful for that my car's A/C was working
 NB>  NB>> well for my trip home.... 

 RH> We finally cooled off to the 70s (with a front/storm) on Tuesday. Back
 RH> to the mid 80s now but not quite as humid.

 NB> We've been having more typical summer weather, with highs in high 70s
 NB> to low 80s and temps dropping into the 60s or so at night... with the
 NB> forecast for mostly more of the same... not really enough rain,
 NB> though...

We've been in the mid to upperr 80s the last week or so, some days with
rain, others, not. Had to wait inside the Convention Center in Raleigh
today for a storm to get (partly) gone so we could make a mad (wet) dash
to the parking garage. Made it, without getting too wet.

 NB>  RH>>> Peach ice cream is popular this time of year. (G)
 NB>  NB>>> Have you been indulging....?  
 NB>  RH>> Not in peach specifically, but ice cream in general, yes.
 NB>  NB>> Tis the right season for that, too...  I noticed in Wegmans
 NB>  NB>> when we went shopping Saturday afternoon that they've got the
 NB>  NB>> peach loaves on sale... was tempted, but this week we're
 NB>  NB>> hardly eating home at all, so it would just have gone bad on
 NB>  NB>> me... maybe this week I'll grab one... 

 RH> Sounds good to me. We're a couple of months from the Raleigh Wegman's
 RH> opening up.

 NB> That you are...  I did grab a loaf last week, as there weren't quite
 NB> so many on display, and it looked like that might be the end of
 NB> them... the date was far enough out that it has lasted the week...
 NB> just one slice
 NB> left now, and that'll probably be eaten tomorrow...  

Sounds good--is it a quick bread sort of thing or not? Might be worth
trying to replicate. The other day I made a blueberry skillet pound
cake, similar to the strawberry one I made at Shipp's in 2017. This one
is just as good as the strawberry version, may try it with peaches next.

 NB>  RH>>>>> Found a place that has 30 flavors of Hershey's ice cream the
 NB>  RH>>>>> other night. (G)
 NB>  NB>>>>> On the road, or locally....?
 NB>  RH>>>> Locally. Place specialises in mac & cheese, other American
 NB>  RH>>>> cheese dishes but also has the Hershey's ice cream.
 NB>  NB>>>> Ah.  Nice place to keep in mind for the ice cream, anyway...
 NB>   RH>>> Yes, and Hershey's is a good brand.
 NB>  NB>>> Indeed.  
 NB>  RH>> Haven't been able to get back to them as they close at 8 on
 NB>  RH>> Wednesday nights; we're usually at church until just after 8.
 NB>  NB>> So the timing just doesn't mesh... 

 RH> We made it there at about 7:59 the other night. (G)

 NB> Squeaked in just under the wire... did they serve you...?  

Yes, they did and gave Steve a military discount. Started talking with
the other ice cream place about a ginger one in Sept.; they had one in
the case the other night when we took Rachel in. No pints of it in the
freezer tho.

   once a week for a year and you might cover it? Or, twice a NB>  RH>>
   week and cover that many plus additional new items cooked up NB>
   RH>> in that time...... NB>  NB>> At least he doesn't innovate QUITE
   that quickly... (G)  He's NB>  NB>> been open now for 5 years...
   he's talking about updating his NB>  NB>> printed menus...

 RH> Adding some of the things that had been off the menu before, available
 RH> only if you knew what to ask for?

 NB> Possibly...    He's talking about deleting some things that no one
 NB> ever asks for... although I'm not sure that there are all that many of
 NB> those... 

We'll have to check it out next time we're in Rochester, not sure when
that will be. As of now, it could be this fall or next year some time.
