Double Chicken Club With Saffron Aioli
In blender or mini food processor, combine saffron mixture, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard and garlic, then blend until smooth. Season with pepper to taste. Set aside. The aioli can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 week.
Cook chicken (or turkey) bacon according to package instructions. Toast the bread.
To assemble sandwiches, spread some saffron aioli on each piece of toast. Divide the bacon, sliced chicken breast, arugula (or lettuce), tomato and avocado (if using) among 4 slices of toast; top with remaining toast. Serves 4.

4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup water
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Ground cinnamon, optional
***
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt. Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping.
Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

My Hometown
A few years ago the clock stopped working. The bells had peeled for years and many lives were "clock work". I grew up at least one mile from the heart of town. It was the chiming bells or factory whistles that sent us into the house at meal time or late evening when the neighborhood kids were playing.
One resident was determined to repair the clock that had gone into a state of disrepair. The county administrators had a bid for repairs but said with the present economy the funds were not a available. The resident received a lower bid and began to put the wheels in motion with a committee to raise $30,000.00. In a short time the funds were raised and now the bells will chime once again and life can return to "clockwork". A big dedication ceremony is being planned for August 10. The difference one person can make!
Thanks to my hometown newspaper for this photo of the clocktower.
