More Weekend Experiments--Plum Strawberry Cobbler: A

9/15/2013

Don't worry, it works.

This is a very, very good variation of Peach Blueberry Cobbler. And simple enough that even I can bake is. Successfully.

Don't be skeptical about the runny mess that goes into the oven.

Just make sure you use baking powder.

This is what comes out of it.

The sweet plums and their sour skin give a good balance on the cobbler and make it very, very pretty.

I think it would work with just plums or even with raspberries for more of a tart kick to it.

Simplicity, flexibility and general ono-factor. Honors recipe for sure. And you can even do it during the weekday.

Back into the Cooking Rotation

After two weeks of Hawaii, it's time to snap back into the cooking rotation. Immediately. So I cooked for a full week. No takeout for last week of summer, lots of experiments, and moderate success. Here's how last week and the upcoming week shape up.

Last Week--Experimental Week
Monday--Furikake salmon, sesa-miso eggplant, rice. I would like to say the salmon had a subtle flavor, but that is too much spin, even for me. A good concept that needs work.

Tuesday--Spam and String Beans and rice. Good old standby.

Wednesday--Snapper with tomatoes, mangoes and red peppers did not not live up to its potential--back to the drawing board.

Thursday---Warm ginger apple chicken salad. Winner of unanimous and unsolicited "repeater" status. (Photo at right)

Friday--Dinner crepes (ham/onions/mushrooms/gruyere and leftover furikake salmon/goat cheese), salad. Another experiment and a surprise winner. Even the goat cheese/furikake salmon worked out pretty well.

Saturday--Pork tenderloin, baked sweet potato fries, the rest of the string beans

Sunday--Lemongrass chicken, broccoli, and what was left of the jasmine rice

Fun Extras--blueberry muffins and pickle mango

This week--so far, still no takeout.
Thanks to my neighbor, we have a ton of fresh peaches that went into, what else, Peach/Blueberry cobbler. It's already half gone. Fresh guacamole and ranch dip were also made on Monday.

Monday--Sloppy Joes, green beans and carrots with Grandma Nancy's Ranch Dip

Tuesday--My Mom's Chicken Katsu, Edamame Rice and My Own Namasu. Slaving over a stove on the hottest day of the year! (See left)

Wednesday--Tofu-Tuna Burgers, salad, rice

Thursday--Quinoa Salad and Costco Chicken because it's back-to-school night and I need something fast.

Friday--Chicken Salad Sandwiches, carrots and ranch dip--I have a girls night out :)

Saturday and Sunday--Soba Noodles with Chicken and Peanut Sauce--I have no idea how to make this, but I'm going to find out. Maybe chicken curry because it's supposed to be much cooler by then.
