Day 186 Post Fourth Mashup

Today, is an avalanche of leftovers, for dinner I had grilled corn, peppers, squash, and tomatoes and for dessert, I had sticky sweet peach cobbler, YUM!! Yesterday was a labor of love, I sweat over those vegetables on the grill and I was not disappointed, the 100 plus heat was worth it. My mom did up the potato salad so I wouldn't have to and it was stupendous. Sigh....when is the next holiday? The peach cobbler was good but would have been even better if my mom had not been too lazy to dig out the ice cream maker, the banana split ice cream in the freezer was completely inappropriate for the cobbler so that was a no go. It's so hot outside, I wish that I had a vat of ice cream to just lounge in with a spoon, I could do laps in a big pool of Chunky Monkey or Mango Madness.....I can't wait for cooler weather, swimming in ice cream is not really realistic, perhaps I'll have a glass of tea instead.

Day 184 and 185 July The Fourth Foodarama

Today is July the 4th! I didn't have a chance to blog last night because I was at the second best fireworks show in the world, in Keifer Oklahoma, the first best is in Louisville KY. during the kickoff for Derby. Tonight, I'm going to probably the 6548th best fireworks show in Sapulpa Oklahoma. Right now, I'm trying to finish all of my chores so I can get to my mom's cookout, where I am expected to produce peach cobbler and potato salad, neither of which I have purchased ingredients for. This should be a fun day, perhaps I will take along with me, my stash of water balloons. OK, I have to keep on moving now, no time for additional blogsense, I have to get cooking.

Day 182 Trade You These Berries For Those Beans

Let me just begin with the blackberry cobbler. I am not one to follow recipes, I like to add my own flair and not be governed by baking rules. I may have to change how I do things, maybe measure a little more, set the correct temperature, you know, the basics. Last night, when I put the blackberries on the stove, I added a lot of sugar, not on purpose, I was just going to shake a little out of the sugar bag and I dumped about three cups into about two cups of berries. The result was that the berries were so sugared, the sweetness overwhelmed the tartness, so I messed up, but it wasn't awful. Today, I made a trade with my co-worker, I left some cobbler for her and later, I came back to pick up my white chickenless chili. I love this chili! Even though it is a little warm out, at 100 degrees, it did not stop me from enjoying my beany gift of goodness. Over the long weekend, I plan on baking up a few things to share, so stay tuned and I may throw a sample if you're standing close enough to catch it.
