A little while ago, I had thought about trying Peach or Cherry flavored Schnapps. I was coming back through Lillington, NC today, and turned around to go the the ABC store there. I went in and walked up and down the isles looking for Schnapps. I didn’t see any, and finally asked a clerk. The Schnapps was almost at the front of the first isle that I walked down. They only had peach flavored Schnapps.

Surprisingly, this bottle of Schnapps cost less than $6 (OK a little over with tax).

I didn’t try it when I first got home. I did make myself a couple of Smoked Ham & Jalapeno Pepper Jack Cheese with Horseradish Mustard on a Miami Onion Roll from Wegman’s.

I had stopped in Whole Foods before going to Wegmans. As I came out of Whole Foods, I headed out onto the 440 Beltline. I got up to 70 mph pretty quickly and had some traffic a short distance behind me. But, very soon (I think before the exit for Crabtree Valley Mall) the 440 traffic ground to almost a halt. I quickly decided to get off at the Mall exit and head away from the Mall back toward downtown Raleigh. This ended up being a great decision. I googled on my phone for directions to Wegmans and saw that the proposed route did not take me back onto 440, almost but not quite. And I ended up very soon coming to the area where Wegmans was located and turning in to the parking lot.

*I see from WRAL that there as an accident on 440 that resulted in someone dying, so that is what caused the traffic backup.

At Wegmans I carried in my bright yellow shopping bag that I had gotten a few years ago in Asheville at the Farmer’s Market. Wegmans really does a great job of presenting their vegetables. Everything is, fat, bright in color and fresh looking. I walked around to my left and found the Rolls section. They had a couple of Miami Onion Rolls, and I asked the female baker for some more. I bought 4 of the onion rolls and one other roll (with salt & seeds on top). Bought some more Castelvetrano Olives (with pits), a container of Smoked Ham, a small container of Wasabi Powder, and another bottle of Creamy Horseradish Sauce (this I had used mixed with yellow mustard).

So I finally tried the Peach Schnapps at home. I googled for how to drink Schnapps. The suggestion was a small amount, in a small glass, at room temperature. Perfect, for what I had already poured. I smelled the drink. It was sweet and peachy in smell. It was also sweet and peachy in flavor. I like this as much as I liked Disaronno;

I tried some with Half-n-Half and it was good. Maybe Peach Egg Nog would be good.
