July 5th at Morgan Hill

We met in Morgan Hill.

I brought the chicken morengo. I showed mom how to make the polenta (butter and dried cheese), I also brought some salad makings and two peach cobblers. Mom made a peach cobbler too.. out of their white peaches.

Consensus: White peaches are better eaten fresh
Yellow peaches are best in cobbler.

Cake cobbler is the family traditional cobbler.. (source Wanda Brown) often made with some modifications to a jiffy mix.. Also a great cornbread could be made by mixing a jiffy corn muffin mix with a yellow cake mix... better than Marie Calenders.

Sue and both girls had a great time shopping at the outlets. Business clothes and warm clothes were the garment du jour.

The polenta turned out just right. I ground up some romano cheese to add to the 5 tablespoons of butter... yum

Heather is still a steadfast cake cobbler fan. Linzi sticks to the biscuit cobbler. Heather was disappointed that more cake cobbler was not provided... it was the whole recipe.. (it also means that it met with approval)

The weather was great.. had a great time..

Home safely at 10:30.
