"Who could ever weary of moonlit nights and well-cooked rice?"
__Japanese proverb
"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "
__Julia Child
"Cooking is a creation."
__Piero Selvaggio

Easy Patch Cobbler
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon bakin' soda
a few slices of fresh bread, torn into small pieces
2 cans (15 ounces each) pie fillin', any flavor
Ingredients:
1) Preheat oven to 350�.
2) Mix together the butter, sugar, eggs, milk, flour and bakin' soda
'til thoroughly combined, then set aside.
3) Lightly butter a 13x9x2" pan.
4) Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with the fresh bread pieces.
5) Pat out half of the dough and carefully place on top of bread pieces, patting gently with hands.
6) Spread fillin' over the dough
and then place patches of the remainin' dough over top.
7) Sprinkle with a little granulated sugar and bake for approximately
50 minutes, or 'til the top is light brown in spots. Miz' Tate likes her patch cobbler to be served with Cool Whip.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
