Cobbler Notes, Etc.

Angela tells me that the cobbler dough recipe I posted previously was too big for her pan-- when baked, the dough overwhelmed the fruit. (It was still tasty with a little milk and sugar.) If you suspect you have too much dough, divide the dough in half and flatten the extra between two sheets of parchment or wax paper, and slip it in a plastic bag in the fridge or freezer for next time. Don't forget, your fruit may shrink. And, as Angela also wisely pointed out, it might ooze, so put a cookie sheet under your pan to save the bottom of the stove.

Also, I did put some chopped fresh oregano in the Two Bean salad and forgot to tell you.

Another update: Rocking the food world as she does, Alison, who writes the fantastic Cleaner Plate Club, has not only written a bunch more new stuff, but has already added a search to her site. That was fast! Now you can finally find out the truth about guar gum and xanthan gum. In haiku form, no less! Lots of cool foodie links, too.

Oh yes, and happy late birthday to Dylan, who is three. He can't read, so I'm guessing he didn't miss that on the first birthday post.
