Blackberries are delicious. But they were designed to be made into cobbler. Just like raspberries were designed to be made into jam. If enough of them survive the picking process. (One for the bucket, one for me.One for the bucket to for me, Hey that one in the bucket is bruised. I had better eat it so it doesn't ruin the others...)
What do you mean designed? Just curious.
I've had some very good blackberry cobbler. It's obvious to me that God designed blackberries expressly for that purpose.

I love cobbler too.
So, I'm not going to ask for Biblical references on that one.
But, usually I put berries in a smoothie. yum.

One of my sisters and my mother both get the Cooking for Two magazine. It's easier to subscribe than looking around for it when it DOES come out, lol.
I generally cook for 1 1/2 to three, these days. Depends on my appetite and who's home.

I confess that I have got really impatient for people to try something I suggest out, but I'm getting better (though I would love to know what you think).
I've made it with yogurt too. I'm going to make it tonight/tomorrow, using milk/lemon juice to make buttermilk because I couldn't get any buttermilk today.

In honor of these meh chicken salad sandwiches that were left for us from a funeral yesterday, I must give a better recipe:
Chicken (i use the canned chicken)
Mayo/miracle whip
sliced almonds
grapes, chopped into little pieces.
mix and serve on good bread. croissants are best.
(i know beggars can't be choosers, right?)

Hey, just had to say, I made big mac's at home for the first time today! Yum! And they're perfect because you can make the patties and freeze them for later, and make the special sauce and keep it in the refrigerator for a while so they're easy to put together for dinner. Yummmmm! Oh, and because the patties are fresh and without preservatives and can be baked instead of fried, they're better for you.

Butter is another thing. How long does it last in the fridge? I'm lucky if I use one stick a year, but you can't buy just one and you end up wasting the rest. Can it be frozen?
I freeze butter all the time. I typically have a couple pounds in the freezer at any given time. I mostly use it for baking, cookies in particular, as I make tons of them during Christmas.

As a single guy (though soon not to be), I love cooking with my slow cooker. This evening for example, mid morning I put some beef ribs into my slow cooker. I put in one bottle of beer, topped it off with enough water to cover them, put in spices and then I started cooking them. Five hours on low, and then three hours on high. They were so tender, I didn't need to cut them with a knife! Though, when I was cutting them up for my upcoming meals at work, I did use one of my German cutting knives. But, that's mainly to make sure I get the sized pieces that I want. Though, I admit, it was more 'half cut, half pull apart!'
What I normally do for my meals at work (at the prison), is to make a number of salads up ahead of time. Usually, I try to make at least three up before the beginning of my work week. Chef salad, really. I buy a couple different kinds of salad in a bag (the dark, leafy kinds), cook some meat (usually some chicken and some beef), and have small containers of shredded cheese and salad dressing. That way, before I have to go to work, all I have to do is pack them into my insulated 'lunch box.' In the top, separate part, I have an apple, an orange and some sort of chips or snack mix. I also have a couple of drinks (low or no calorie drink mix kind) and then a desert of pudding (again, I have a variety).
My fiance' introduced me to spice mills of different types. Now, when I use spices, I grind out what I want (measuring my sight/instincts, no measuring) instead of using the pre-ground stuff.

Sharon-Marie, was thinking of you today as I was starting my barley bread. Did you ever get to making it? I shall probably think of you tomorrow when I finish it too! I'm making it in a different way though, so hoping it turns out.

I have thermos containers so they keep food hot or cold. They're great! I'm not working, but they're useful to have and use anyhow.
What a great idea! How long will the thermos keep the food warm? Does it keep hot food hot or just warm?
