NUMBER ONE TOWARD SEVENTY

I started 2008 by making an apple cobbler. In my sixty nine plus years this is my first attempt at cooking beyond micro wave, George Foreman grill,and outside barbecuing and grilling.


I purposely chose a cobbler because I grew up eating my grandmothers apple cobbler.I wish I had her recipe but I used Miss Gin's peach cobbler recipe from McKnight Rd. cook book.


Rolling out the dough















Slicing apples




















Putting apples onto the dough
















Out comes the finished cobbler.


















Looks good enough to eat











Actually tasted better than I expected



Right now I feel confident I will succeed at doing seventy things in my seventh year that I have never ever done.

It was great to visit with you and Nancy (and the rest of the crew) on New Year's Eve. Wish I had some of the apple cobbler. We just made our standard Wed night winter favorite - come home from Bible class and make popcorn in the old stir crazy popper! I put a link on our family blog to yours! Dad's comment is every 5 days or so you need to try something new! Hope to see you on a stadium tour over Winter Warm Up! Happy New Year, Nancy Henley
