Brandied peaches, roasted broccoli

Y'all, these might very well be the most beautiful batch of brandied peaches I've ever made. Things just went according to plan the whole process through. I say a hearty amen to that because I needed some ease. Gorgeous and delicious, and if you're wondering, yes, I'll have these for sale at the market on Saturday!

In the oven now is this equally lovely broccoli, as well as a little cauliflower I had left over from pickling the other day. The smoked paprika vinaigrette is simply breathtaking atop the roast broccoli, and Marconas too? C'est bon! Such an inspired recipe.

Friday's One Day Deal at Whole Foods...

...is Grass-Fed Ground Beef for $4.99/pound (regularly $6.99/pound). This beef is rated Step 4 in the Animal Welfare Rating System Whole Foods implemented with the Global Animal Partnership, which means that the animals are raised in a "pasture-centered" environment. Though this is not the top rating (5 and 5+ which are totally animal-centered), it does mean that the animals are provided access to the outdoors and opportunity to engage in their innate behaviors like roaming and foraging.
