Peaches and cottage cheese

 I opened the can of peaches and heavy syrup tonight as a treat after dinner. I didn't even know that I had a can of peaches and heavy syrup. I've been trying to find syrup That's Heavy which is used in fruit. Seems like the only Peaches I have been able to find this in light syrup which I guess is good I really can't tell the difference now that I've had heavy syrup and it was just nice to have. It brought back all the memories that I've written about in the past about how one of my family's treats on Sunday night was peaches canned by my mom in the summer with the help of a lot of the kids, toast and cottage cheese. I've written a poem about well not a real poem just one stanza I've never been able to get past that. I was the person that seemed like who always had the job of going down the basement and getting the peaches and then bringing them up to the rest of the house. The basement was not a real basement it was a kind of cement room underneath the house that storage was provided. Rough you and shelves on which bottles of fruit and such replaced there's also a bin in the corner for potatoes and there was a hookup there that when the temperature got so cold that we could not keep the outdoor faucet out in the elements disengage that faucet and had to water the cattle from the faucet in the basement which was really pretty spooky for a kid by age anyway. But I've written about that in the past in this blog somewhere. Anyway, my job was to go down to that room to secure a bottle of peaches and bring it up. The poem would be called there's a boogie in the basement.. the lines that I do have is: there's a boogie in the basement, near the bottom of the stairs, I can always hear him growling by the peaches of the pears.. I really never been able to get past these first couple lines. I wish I could I know there's a major piece of work there that I've just different been able to tap into it's kind of sad I really like that piece and it came together naturally there's got to be more than I'm hiding somewhere for one reason or another, maybe just too frightening. I didn't fix toast tonight which would have been just perfect for the event. I just didn't have the patience just sit and wait for the bread to be toasted in my little baker oven. It would have been nice however. I was pleased that the cottage cheese was still usable. It says it's best used by sometime in December, the 11th I think. Cottage cheese was still somewhat liquidy and went really well with the peaches. I enjoyed the brief return to another day on peaches went well for a Sunday evening treat ellipsis
