Since it would have been the other guy's fault his insurance company would have
had to satisfy me. Since Mr. Kelly's Blue Book probably shows only a U$50
valuation for any car that old I'd not have let them "total" it. Nay, repair to
"as good as" or replace. And I've had my eye on an older two door coupe at my
Mercedes guy's lot anyway.  Bv)=  If the adjuster balked I could have begun
making whines about sore neck, back twinges, visits to the Chiropractor,
talking to lawyers, etc. As it would cast the company less than 10K to settle
... they'd geek.

      Title: Cranberry Coupe Melba
 Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Booze, I scream
      Yield: 6 servings

      6 md Ripe peaches
      2 c  Water
      1 c  Sugar
      1 ts Vanilla
  1 1/2 c  Cranberries
      1 tb Kirsch
      6    Scoops vanilla ice cream;
           - about 1 1/2 pints
 
  Blanch peaches in boiling water 30 seconds. Immediately
  rinse with cold running water; drain well. Peel peaches; cut
  in half; remove and discard pits. 

  Heat 2 cups water, the sugar and vanilla in medium saucepan
  to boiling; boil, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Sugar
  should be completely dissolved. Add peach halves; poach
  until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Remove
  peaches with slotted spoon to bowl, reserving syrup;
  refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. 

  Add cranberries to syrup. Heat to boiling; reduce heat.
  Simmer 10 minutes. Puree mixture in food processor or
  blender; stir in kirsch. Refrigerate, covered, until cold,
  about 1 hour. 

  At serving time, stand 2 peach halves upright in each of 6
  stemmed glasses; place a scoop of ice cream between halves;
  spoon cranberry puree over ice cream. 

  NOTES: If fresh peaches aren't available, you can used
  canned freestone (Elberta) peaches. The cranberry puree has
  a nubby texture; if you want a smoother sauce, press puree
  through fine-mesh sieve to remove bits of skin.
