Have you seen it? 

Please tell me you’ve seen this Amazon Prime show. 

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it, but if you haven’t binged watched the “The Boys” do it now. I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more press. To give you a little rundown the show is about superheroes and how they are put on a global stage by a large corporation. Well, the superheroes aren’t exactly sunshine and lollipops. They have struggles to and may have “accidentally” murdered a few folks because of their powers.

This is where The Boys come in. It’s a group of dudes that have been affected by the mistakes of superheroes. They set out to expose the corrupt corporation and shed light on the fact that the world may not need these characters. Make sense? Are you adding it to your watchlist? High-five. 

Besides our latest TV binge, I have been binging on another item: peaches. I may be biased, but I swear Colorado grows the best peaches in the country. Did you know that you can grow peaches in a high-desert climate? Yep, yep. We used to have a peach tree at our old house that produced the most glorious peaches ever. Damn I miss that tree. 

Spiced Chicken Thighs with Peach Barbecue Sauce

Anyway, with peaches at every corner it would be a crime not to use them up. Enter, this peach barbecue sauce. So simple to make. Roast some peaches, put them in a blender with a few barbecue infused flavors, blend and then smother some chicken with the sauce. I mean, what’s not to like? 

And cue my favorite peach song: “Millions of peaches, peaches for free.”
