Blackberry Cobbler

Posted on May 31st, 2010

Oh, summer fruit, you make me so happy. Our last Farmhouse bin contained a basket of blackberries and some peaches. I used them in this cobbler… and now I am determined to make cobblers ALL THE TIME, using this recipe. We loved the biscuit-y topping, and I imagine just about any fruit would be great in it. I halved the recipe from here… below are the amounts I used. Blackberry Peach Cobbler 1 tablespoon cornstarch 3/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar 2 1/2 cups blackberries 3 medium peaches, peeled, pited and cut into wedges 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons milk Preheat oven…

Lunch at The Jalopy

A couple of weekends ago, we had lunch at The Jalopy. I was excited to try it… it’s a Mack truck transformed into a kitchen, serving up rotisserie chicken sandwiches and freshly fried chips. I like the murals. The menu is pretty interesting… every sandwich is the same bread, same rotisserie chicken, but with different toppings and sauces.

Our chips came out first… I think these are just regular veggie chips, but they’re flash fried and sprinkled with your choice of seasonings. We chose salt and vinegar and dill. They were still warm, which was nice. I chose the Folletto: pepperoncini brine, housemade pickled peppers, scallions and parsley salad. I…

just breathe.

Tonight we went to Gibson Bar and The Trailer to sample goodies at a food blogger event. Honestly, my expectations weren’t too high for another food trailer, this time with pub grub, next to a bar. I was so pleasantly surprised! I really liked the interior… I loved the black cushy booths. (Look, it’s James! Everybody say, “hi James!”) We were given wine and bubbly options, but there are plenty of beers and a full bar, too. All the food is made in this dandy trailer, parked right outside the door. And holy moly, the food. I can’t really explain why I loved it so much — it was super-decadent… lots of fried things and things wrapped in bacon and things topped with cheese…
