The Best Cobbler

Tennesse Cobbler
This is my favorite cobbler recipe. When it's time to pick peaches, I want to make this cobbler and eat it for all meals for a week, and even then, I'm not sick of it. It is to die for!



First, cut up the peaches. I used about 4, combined with the blueberries, it makes 4 cups. Actually, first we picked our own peaches here. They just taste better that way.


They look so yummy, don't they?











We added the blueberries to make 4 cups.

















Melt one stick of butter in a dish, pie plate works, or a 9x9 pan.












Measure 1 cup sugar into a large bowl.

















Then measure 1 cup Self-rising flour in to the bowl.


















Stir in 1 cup milk. We used whole, but low-fat works as well.









Stir until combined. Don't overdo it. It will be lumpy and that's fine.

Pour over the melted butter.















Add the peaches and blueberries, a bit at a time. Spread it out, make it pretty, imagine how beautiful and scrumptous this is going to be soon...




































































A little patting down doesn't hurt.

















Pretty already!











Of course, you should taste the peaches.




















Yummy!









Pop it into a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes, give or take. Watch for the edges to brown. They get a bit caramelized and are to die for!

Having  a baby on your back is always helpful!

Out of the oven and so delicious looking. My mouth is watering right now.

Finally done and ready to devour!

Enjoy!

Lancaster

Lancaster County Pa, home to many Amish families, and Grandy's favorite place, Rough and Tumble, a steam engine and tractor museum was the place of our most recent family excursion. The Fall Harvest Festival was this past weekend and we had such a fun time. First we took a ride on the little train, and then, once established that trains are not so scary, we took a ride on the big train. We watched the tractor pull, a very serious event, and Layla had some quality Grandy time. The weather was a bit chilly, but we all had a grand time. Oh, and we stopped by to visit with friends, an Amish family, to whom Grandy is sure we are related. We had a nice visit with them, their horses and chickens. When we arrived home later that evening, we got a call from Grandy, who received a call from the Stoltfus' via their payphone, saying that Jake had left his cell phone there. Now, if you leave your cell phone in the home of an Amish family and it rings, will they answer it??

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Well, it was a bit of a blustery day here in Brookhaven this past Wednesday. Since Miss Layla has been asking to fly her kite everytime a leaf moves on a tree, to which I always answer, "Oh, I wish we could fly your kite today- we have to wait for a windy day when it is not raining," it was time. Wednesday was the day. We tried and tried and with some small successes we made it happen. Here are a few pics I snapped when I wasn't busy with the kite.
