Well. My Saturday definitely seemed to start with things not going like I had planned.
Example 1: I was wide awake at 8:05. On my Saturday.
Example 2: I planned on bringing a peach and blueberry cobbler to a friend's baby shower this afternoon. I started to cut the peaches and realized that every single one of them was gross. Smooshy (is that a real word?) and tasted like each bite was filled with sand. Ick. I didn't have time to go the store so I quickly dug through the freezer to see what I could see. I found some strawberries in there and (after a quick call to my momma) found myself making a strawberry/blueberry cobbler. Honestly, it sounded weird to me. I wasn't sure how the strawberries would "hold up" in the oven. It was going pretty smoothly until I mixed the berries together.
Example 3: After the berries sat for a few minutes (while I made the topping) they became very very juicy. Can't use regular flour to thicken it up so I went to get some cornstarch.I guess I didn't screw the lid back on right the last time I used it because it came off and dumped puffs of cornstarch all over the place.
In the cabinet.
And in my hair.
I finally got it all cleaned up and assembled this crazy sounding cobbler.
I meant to take a picture after it was baked but I was kinda in a hurry since I had to end up washing my hair (due to the cornstarch incident).
It actually ended up tasting really good. I got several compliments and it was eaten up. Great success!
I didn't get a lot of pictures at the shower, but did snap some with a few people who might be happy to "make the blog."
It ended up being a really fun day, but my goodness it started off rocky.
Happy weekend!
yaaaay, we made it! and the cobbler was delish (from the person who does not like cooked fruit!)
