Peach cobbler.

White peaches? They sure look tasty.

White peaches? They sure look tasty.

No clue. Ruddy pink color, orangish flesh, cling stones. Pain in the butt to prep (not looking forward to canning what is left on the tree).

But oh-so-very yummy.

I dug some of the cooked fruit out from under the biscuits to top my pancakes. I probably would have happily just eaten more cobbler.


As for what's cooking: my husband makes breakfast on the weekends so I can sleep in. Scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes with lots of different fruit toppings: strawberry mango jam from last fall, blackberry syrup left over from canning the berries, bananas.

Tending two pork butts on the smoker for pulled pork.
Crowd to feed...

Note to self:
Need more beer.

One of the best things from lit ever, was meek's suggestion to sautée radishes. I love these and cannot imagine life before sautéed radish.
( radish in an almost dry pan for my lunch because cold radishes on a cold day felt too miserable, but hot with hot salad onions become a delight to pick at like tapas) .

I love radishes this way. I buy a bundle and cook all of them and do my best to not share them. Cooking them really transforms the flavor. I'm glad you really like it.

Blanching the skin off of fresh Colorado peaches, then slicing and putting them 4 peaches per bag in quart bags for the freezer. I sample a slice every once in a while....it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it!

Pork tacos in fried corn tortillas, Spanish rice, margaritas.

Now its naptime!

 

[PapaRomantic]

Filling the freezer is such a job . I am not sure our peaches will ripen with the drop in temps here but apples take me for ever and blackberries and pears and plums and.....

It's a tougher job when I just found out I'm married to a thief. I had the last bag in the bowl ready to be bagged but left it for just a little bit. When I came back, the bowl is 3/4 empty! My wife decides she wanted peaches now.

Gonna have to start locking up my stuff.....

For some unknown reason, I have a hankering for a pot roast. So - at 2 am, I put a roast in the slow cooker. I added beans to it - it was a bag of "15 beans" I found in the pantry. Onions, carrots, potatoes, beans! Added red wine to the beef broth.

Smells good. We'll find out in another 8 hours if it tastes good!

Found a relatively low sodium marinade, did chicken in that, then let it rest as I started defrosting my bechemel blocks for the kids pasta dinner. Sliced the cooked chicken thin and spread on Hawaiian rolls with Swiss, toasted to perfection and served with baby potatoes. And all got to the table at the same time.

So chicken and Swiss sliders with a side of new herbed potatoes and a cheesy kinda alfredo bow tie pasta.

Vietnamese fish and bacon in caramel sauce.

I cut corners, so the sauce didn't really reduce to sticky, caramelly consistency, but it was still yummy as always.

Oh hello there.
What's cooking, you ask?

Just some fresh churned butter.

Is beans in your pot roast a northern thing?

Where I grew up you had a pot of beans served with fresh cornbread. Maybe a platter of sliced tomatoes and fresh onions as a side. Otherwise, beans were our supper.

BTW was it good?

No. I've been taking this nutrition class where they CANNOT stop talking about beans. I bought them a while back and have never used them. I figured what the heck? Might be a cross between a stew and a pot roast.

Mr. cookie is from the south. He raved about beans and ham as a new years thing? I thought it was really just pea soup but it was saltier, thicker.

This sounds like a really odd combination. Is it salty sweet??

Yeah, it's salty sweet (but not candy like despite the name) with a nice kick of chili and the freshness of spring onions. It's an odd, but really ready combo.

When I was growing up, the pot of beans was always navy or pinto. Always sliced tomatoes in summer, from the garden.
