Hello everyone!

Well, it's Wednesday today and we have our neighbours dogs over for "puppy daycare". The male, Barney is a bit loopy and runs around a lot barking at sun rays. The female, Limpet is completely lazy and enjoys nothing more than a good nap and a few free food handouts. Speaking of which, here are some of todays divine recipes!


Raspberry and Cherry Cobbler (in the oven as I type)

4 to 6 cups of raspberries and cherries (you can use other fruit if you like)
1 cup of sugar, or to taste
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits, plus some for greasing the dish
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Toss the fruit with half the sugar, and spread it in a lightly buttered 8 inch square or 9 inch round baking pan.

2) Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar in the container of a food processor and pulse once or twice. Add the butter and process for 10 seconds, until the mixture is well blended. By hand , beat in the egg and the vanilla.

3) Drop the mixture onto the fruit by tablespoonfuls; do not spread out. Bake until golden yell and just starting to brown, 35-45 minutes. Serve immediately.
