cobbler, my second love
Cobbler is my second love, next to mashed potatoes. Mixed berry/fruit cobbler is so so good. I made this peach, strawberry, and blueberry cobbler. I even used canned peaches, and it was still amazing. I think the secret is the sweet biscuit topping, and using vanilla bean. I used a Martha recipe for peach and blueberry cobbler, but added strawberries. Its all gone now, maybe I should make more. Writing this is making me want some right now, for breakfast.
Click here for the recipe. Have a great weekend!

a few of my favorite things…
In Between portrays the transition period of various objects as they are in between the stage of past and future. The objects may remain as only memories, dust, or stories.
(best anthro spread ever)
(weird little boy painting with big eyes. I like calling him the little boy because a movie i used to watch as a child called Meatballs, only we referred to it as the little boy movie. )
(amazing vintage brooch, I wish I could wear it more often)
(buttons, love them)
( I found this amazing compact that I use as a wallet, actually I think it was more of a cig case, but I use it everyday and I never get sick of it)
(art, can’t live without it)
(knights, or Jedi knights)
(records, more specifically pink floyd wish you were here)
(polaroids)
(amazing vintage seascape painting, you could totally get lost in it)
( good old sx70)
(the weegee picture at coney island. How did he get all those people to look at the camera? I think its more fun not to know)
(windows)
(nature, more specifically drift wood, where has it been drifting?)
That is the end of a quick list of some things I love.

nice to meat you…
Do you ever go through stages where you are just totally obsessed with eating meat? I am going through one. I just crave it. Steak, Philly cheese steak sandwiches, hamburgers, and weirdly sloppy joe’s. I’m not quite sure why sloppy joe’s because I don’t think I’ve ever actually had one, but they sound and look sooo good. Tonight may be the night.

sweet cupcakes
Here are the cupcakes from all the wrappers I posted. Well, just one cupcake. It was pretty good. I used a recipe from issue 36 of Donna Hay. The cupcakes were really good, and I really like the frosting.
Berry Cupcakes:
4 oz of unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup of caster sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups of plain all purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of milk
1/3 cup of raspberries
1/4 cup of blueberries
creamy topping:
10 oz of heavy cream
31/2 oz of store bought meringues, crushed
4 oz of raspberries crushed
Preheat oven to 320 degrees. Place butter, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 15 minutes, or until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Fold through the flour, baking powder and milk. Spoon the mixture into a 4 oz capacity muffin tins lined with papers. Press two raspberries and blueberries into the center of each cake and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown on top ( I think I baked it for 25 minutes). To make the creamy topping, combine the whipped cream, meringue and raspberries in a bowl. Spoon over cooled cakes and serve.
