Went to the local Mexican restaurant for dinner.

The chicken flautus and refried beans were excellent.  This place is really good... I need to go more often.  They put a queso blanco sauce on the beans to keep them from drying out.  Tasty stuff.

Just made cobbler this afternoon... blackberry, blueberry & raspberry, slightly tart. Whipped cream or ice cream to go on top.

Kid is working, M's been running all over the countryside this today, I'm kind of pulling a semi- all nighter on reports.

Everyone's on their own for din-din... I made the dessert.  :-)

Maybe din-din is the dessert.  :-)

(It sounds wonderful. Love me some cobbler -- any ol' fruit will do.)

Din-din was the cobbler! Warmed up with whipped cream.  :drool:

I have the absolute easiest (and best) recipe for cobbler. I buy those big bags of frozen mixed berries at Sam's. Shake out a bowl full ('bout 4c), sprinkle with  about 1.5c sugar, couple tablespoons of corn starch, and some lemon juice - about 1 tablespoon,  and let it sit on the counter to thaw. [ if using peaches, no lemon juice, 3 Tbls of cinnamon, 1 tsp of clove - suit to your taste]

Melt butter in a baking dish (after fruit is thawed), 1.5 sticks of butter (this is for a lasagne pan size).

In bowl mix 2c sugar, 1 1/3c flour, 2 tsp baking POWDER, 1/4 tsp salt, 1.5c milk. (for a berry one, I add about 2 tsp lemon juice). Whisk it all together, and carefully pour in the middle of the butter. DO NOT STIR. Carefully spoon the fruit into the middle - again - DON'T STIR.

Bake at 350 until browned on top...this will be at least 45-60 minutes.

I have always used fresh peaches, but I think I'm going to try frozen ones. I hate peeling anything, and peeling a a dozen or so peaches - :banghead: 

Using the frozen berries, not counting the time they sat on the counter which was probably about 20-30 minutes, while I went back to work... took all of maybe 10 minutes to get together.

It's the time of year for fresh berry desserts!

Tonight's dinner: KC Strip steaks on the grill, steamed broccoli with white Cheddar cheese sauce, and Big Dog's Berry Boat.

Big Dog's Berry Boat

Ingredients:
One pound cake, whole, refrigerated for 24 hours
1 lb fresh strawberries, chopped
1 lb fresh raspberries, crushed
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup raw sugar
2 cups whipped cream

1. Using a spoon, scoop out the top half of the pound cake, leaving a rim around the cake to create a "boat" shape. (Save the removed cake with leftover berries and cream for a midnight snack)

2. Mix chopped strawberries, crushed raspberrries, lemon juice, and sugar. Let stand 10 minutes, stir again.

3. Fill the "boat" with berry mixture. Top generously with whipped cream.

4. Serve with remaining whipped cream available to top individual servings.

Sounds like a hell of a dinner.  What time should I be there?

Obumazombie, I'd forgotten all about that "Chicken Tonight" stuff.  As I recall, it was vile.    :lmao:

I'd break out a good bottle of red wine, and make coffee with dessert, if you came over for dinner.

I had a great dinner last night in Evil Conservative's neighborhood last night. I took a co worker there for his birthday.

I had fish and chips, it was great. Lightly breaded bass. My co worker had a huge Gyro. We also split an order of wings.

EC had talked about how great the place was, and she was correct.

That menu looks awesome and I only read the first page on the website!!!  :drool:

Prices seem extremely reasonable... very small portions?

M hurt his back yesterday afternoon, and I'm super stressed trying to do reports with the new MLS system we have (the old one went away on Tuesday morning and the new one went into effect the next minute or so...will all the problems and no back up!!!  :censored: )

We were in need of comfort and the Hershey Almond bars that I have been devouring weren't cutting it.. so I made brownies last night.

M says he can tell my stress level by my chocolate intake.... the brownies are a pretty good indicator....


Chocolate brownies with Hershey syrup, semi sweet chocolate chips, chunked pecans. Put half the batter in the pan, drizzled caramel ice cream topping over the batter ( normally make my own, but this was in the refrigerator), dumped the rest of the batter on top.

When they came out, I put Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips over the top. Let them melt, then spread them out.
Then covered the whole top with a can of Duncan Hines Creamy Milk Chocolate Frosting that was in the cupboard.

I slept sooooo well last night.  :yahoo:

Whatever works!!

This new mls system is killin' us. I know it will be great when all the kinks are out, but in the meantime, it royally sucks.

We had a month to look at it, but it was not really working because so much info was not transferred until Labor Day. It went into effect on Tuesday morning, at the same time the old one went kaput.

It still isn't  working properly. Got an email this morning that it will be next Tuesday before one feature will work. Not a real big issue for my needs, but still it's just one more issue.
