that's just peachy...

I'm going through a peach phase. Central Texas has some good peach orchards and I can't seem to get enough of them. This is peach crisp and I'm making a batch every other day. It also means I'm making a bottomless batch of whipped cream. For breakfast, I've been having buttermilk pancakes with peaches and I have peach ice cream planned for this weekend.
I don't know what brought this on but I'm going to hate it when peaches go out of season.

implants....

I figured if I said "dental implants" in the title, no one would read this. giggle
Over the years, I have had my share of tooth extractions. Back in May, part of a tooth broke off. I've never considered myself remotely vain but I felt if I didn't do something, I would start to look like a hillbilly. I went to see a dentist and a discussion to cap the broken tooth led to a discussion about dental implants. I had no idea.
The first order of business was to deal with some gum disease and do some bone augmentation where the implants are going to go. I had this done about two weeks ago (June 30) and I'm just now getting back to normal. The worse part is the resulting cold sensitivity. I may not be able to have a beer for another month or two. Yikes.
Eating hard food is still impossible so I'm losing a little weight. The implants will go in when everything is healed - possibly in September or October. I hope they look more natural than those implants in the picture!
