Happy Sunday Gina. Are you in the path of the hurricane?
Hi, Vision. Yes, as of the 5 PM EST update, we are the bull’s eye. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/212842.shtml?5-daynl?large#contents
The 2 PM update had the bull’s eye literally on top of our heads in the center of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, but they have since tracked it just to the west, but still right here on us.
Since there is no real high pressure coming down to push it back east, there is nothing stopping it from continuing to track further to the west. It has yet to enter the Gulf proper, although it sits right at the lower tip of the Florida Keys on the Gulf’s door step at this time. It is still a tropical storm.
We have bought supplies and are helping friends with their preparations. Right now, Keith is helping a couple of our neighbors get their big sail boat out of the water and onto their trailer. He hopes to be back in time for the start of the Big Broadcast.
Are you doing well? How was your trip?
The trip was a success. The conference went well. There is a slight issue though, it sent me into a life crisis. It is so beautiful there. People are happy. Many of the woman are beautiful, feminine, and friendly. I've been checking out Miami discussion boards and real estate prices. With luck this will go away soon and not turn into something larger.
HAHAHA!!! Ah, yes, the friendly, lovely South, and the belles are not bad, either! :-) You’re used to that area up there where I imagine there is a larger concentration of liberalism. Down here, there’s less of that, in general. I’ll bet you would love Florida, except the hurricanes, of course.
What’s for dinner, Vision? We’ve been soaking a couple of NY strips in some “steak house marinade” since yesterday. We’ve gotten into the beef steak on the grill habit on Sunday evenings, it seems.
Things are too busy for real cooking. I planned to grill some sausage and wings, but it's been raining today like it's S. Florida- so the sausage went into the oven. Kinda boring but good.
Do you make cobblers or brown betty's?
Actually, Vision, neither. When I make desserts like that, they’re usually dump cakes. Easy day!
Here are two of my very easy favorites, and they are SO GOOD:
Cherry-Pineapple Dump Cake
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (do not drain juice)
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 package (18.25oz) yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter or margarine melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Spread crushed pineapple on bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
Top pineapple evenly with spoonfuls of cherry pie filling and sprinkle cake mix evenly over fruit. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping, if desired.
Peach Cobbler Dump Cake
1 (29 oz) can sliced peaches, drained, juice reserved
1 (6 oz) package peach flavored gelatin mix
1 (18.25 oz) package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place peaches in bottom of 9x13 cake pan (cutting in large chunks, if preferred, to more evenly distribute). Sprinkle dry peach gelatin evenly over peaches. Evenly sprinkle dry cake mix over gelatin. Cut up butter and evenly distribute over cake mix, or melt butter and drizzle it. Combine the 1 cup of reserved peach juice and 1/2 cup of water, and gently pour evenly over the top.
Bake 55 minutes, give or take a few, until golden brown.
Thanks I’ll have to try that.
I’m trying to find a recipe for a fruit dessert that has a butter/sugar breadcrumb topping. And I’m confused about whether this is technically a cobbler or another dessert.
Here’s some information that may help, Vision, Re: to betties and cobblers: http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/CobblerHistory.htm
Thank you so much, that’s perfect.
Ahh...Lux...
The beautiful intro music and a unique story angle!
Yeah, it’s great! CB Demille is not a great actor, but this is very good!
Yes, but Demille was Hollywood. It would be great if men like that still ran it.
