We call that country fried steak. I make Salisbury steak from ground beef.

Speaking of old cookbooks, remember how cooks used to worry about cakes falling? It seems that every old cake recipe I can remember used to warn about keeping the kitchen quiet while the cakes were baking so they didn’t fall.

My great-uncle used to talk about how his mom used to keep him and his 8 brothers and sisters outside while she was baking cakes to make sure the cakes wouldn’t fall due to rambunctious kids playing g in the house.

Someone said that once on Nailed It. Ordered the other contestants to walk softly and be quiet once he put his cakes in the oven, and explained that his mother had told him that when he was a kid.

Nicole Byer, the host said to him: "You know why she told you that?"
Contestant: "Why?"
Nicole: "Because she wanted some peace and quiet!"

The contestant laughed and said, "You know what? That makes sense!"

MOO

I cooked today. Chicken and dressing, cranberry sauce, tiny white , lady field peas, and pear cobbler. It was all good and we have leftovers for tomorrow.

Romeo, Michigan peaches are in season, and I'm thinking about making Peach Cobbler this weekend. Do you have a simple recipe for the dessert? We haven't been to the Romeo Peach Festival for many years, but it is a long-time Labor Day weekend event. Locally grown peaches rival any Georgia peach

Peach season is over for us. I had some fresh pears that were getting soft so I used those. I use peaches or pears interchangeably with this recipe.

growing up in FL, we always had a pastry crust in cobbler. But the linked recipe is how we make it in AL. I really don’t get a recipe out and follow it anymore, I just eyeball it after all these years.

I always mean to comment on your profile picture, @killarney rose . I know exactly where that bar is in Manhattan. The bar just so happens to be on the site where Captain Kidd (the pirate!) lived in the 1690s in a fancy house. Maybe you knew, but it's one of my favorite bits of trivia of the city.

Our Hurricane Idalia Party Menu:

Me: Cesar Salad

Banjo: kitty food with a spinach leaf and calming meds mixed in.

Dessert: Homemade Chocolate Cream Pie.

Banjo the grandkitty got to taste cool whip on the tip of my finger. Then he wanted more.....ha!

I posted in the Hurricane Adalia thread about how we managed thru the storm - just fine, nothing like Hurricane Ian last year.

Thank you! I think I can handle that. I'll be using fresh Michigan-grown peaches, and I know how to prepare them for cobbler. I'll probably add a splash of Bourbon to the liquid, and we will enjoy the warm fruit dessert with Butter Pecan ice cream (my favorite!).

Glad to hear that you made it through the storm unscathed. We had some wild storms last week, but it's been calm so far this week. We caught up on whatever rain was missed during the spring and early summer.

I had no idea. Thanks for the info. It’s just a photo I found years ago. I use the name because I grew up in central FL in a community named Killarney.

My oldest went to a fisheries conference in Grand Rapids, MI last week. Came home with Covid.... She is finally feeling better and back to eating. Her coworker went to Publix to pick up her order and delivered it to her door.

Fortunately she is able to work from home while recovering instead of going to the office. Interestingly, she is in Evacuation Zone C but the NOAA office is in Evacuation Zone B.

Regarding peaches: I love a good peach cobbler made with fresh peaches. My daughter prefers peach crisp.

Some of the recipes I’ve had are called peach buckle, and they seem to be a cross between a cobbler and a crisp.

If you're ever in NYC, it's on Pearl Street near Wall Street. It was opened by an Irish immigrant and is now run by the original owner's son. I walk by it often!

Thank you. Those kind of cobblers are so easy. M grandmothers made them the old fashioned way, with pie crust dough, rolling them out, etc. Loved those summer cobblers with all the fresh fruits, but the old fashioned ones were a lot of work.

I never thought of having butter pecan ice cream with fruit or other desserts--sounds divine! I always just use vanilla.

I made some triple ginger ice cream to go with a fruit dessert once that was wonderful. For people who make their own, I recommend it as a flavor.

Does anyone have any Labor Day cookouts planned? There are several local food and entertainment festivals in my area this weekend but with COVID cases on the rise we don’t really want to get into a crowd.

We will be getting together with a few close friends who are equally COVID-cautious.

Our menu won’t be anything earth-shattering, just the usual late summer cookout fare. Fresh sweet corn, peach cobbler, a few varieties of homemade potato salad, grilled fresh veggies, and burgers and brats from the grill. I will grill veggie burgers for vegans and vegetarians.

A few summers ago I found a recipe for peach cobbler that everyone loved. Unfortunately I can’t find it again. I think the recipe was in an older cookbook that was put out as a fundraiser for a church or organization, the kind where everyone submits their favorite recipes.

It was a unique recipe. I remember the first step was placing a thick layer of sliced fresh peaches in a 3 qt. baking dish. Next step was placing a biscuit-like sweet dough on top of the peach layer. The last step was pouring two cups of hot water on top of the biscuit layer.

I was a little doubtful after I poured the water on top because frankly it looked like a mess. But it turned out to be fantastic, the peaches were tender and juicy, and it wasn’t overly sweet. The flavor of the fruit was the star.


The name of the recipe was something like “Aunt Jane’s Peach Cobbler” or “Aunt Mary” or “Aunt Susan” so nothing that helps when I am searching online.

Has anyone ever seen a similar peach cobbler recipe? I know it is a long shot

Georgia is famous for its peaches and pecans, so it makes sense to serve butter pecan ice cream with peach cobbler - at least, to me it does

The temp drops just a few degrees and instantly I am in the mood for autumn. I love squash season! I welcome any recipes that call for squash. Love it so much.

DH and I are just going to hang out around the house for most of the holiday weekend, but we're going to have baby back ribs which we haven't made for a couple of years. I use a simple recipe for roasting the ribs and tend to get creative with the BBQ sauce that I make from scratch. Foolproof Ribs with Barbecue Sauce We'll also have corn on the cob, Caprese with Michigan tomatoes, and peach cobbler. We'll probably do this meal tomorrow as it's going to be too hot on Monday. Dinner out on Sunday.

Covid cases are on the rise in Michigan. On Tuesday, cleaning lady told us that two of her clients cancelled their cleanings last week because they and/or family members had Covid. I hope holiday weekend festivals don't become super-spreaders.
