Just In Case You're Having A Bad Day

[George B]

After reading your post, I thought to myself...whewwww that's a day to forget.

Then I returned to the shop after two weeks on vacation with the grandchildren and put in a couple of hard days at the bench.

Third day back I realized I'de done a whole bunch of things either ass backwards or those that would cause a problem in the future and a poly reinforced dual layer belt that somehow ended up 3/4" short.

Needless to say I ended up remaking three holsters, two mag carriers and belt. Now I'm working the weekend just to get back on schedule.

I really hate brain-farts, especially those induced by brain beans that seem to go on forever just continually going off without notice.

Just read the post and all I want to know is where can you get the strawberry rhubarb cobbler from?? I moved to the south from upstate New York more than 35 yrs ago and now living in Texas haven't even seen rhubarb. We used to have several patches growing in our backyard when I was a kid, I actually think some were wild. Nothing better than cutting of a ripe piece and chewing on it for a while. Actually thinking about it I might rather have a strawberry rhubarb pie!! with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream !

When one of my days goes bad, I just take a day or so off to break the pattern of bad luck and bad decisions.

Not just for Ed in Tx, . . . and I know this is a leather forum, . . . but this is THE best cobbler recipe I ever had, . . . and it's "fallin' off the bridge" easy:

2 cups fruit (any kind you like, . . . in this case, 1 each of cut up strawberries, and cut up rhubarb

1/2 cup of sugar

1 cup of milk

1 cup self rising flour

1 cup of sugar

1 stick of butter (I've not tried it with margarine, . . . might work)

1 tablespoon of butter

Preheat oven to 350

Melt stick of butter in 8 x 8 glass baking dish, a deep one

Put fruit in small bowl, add the 1/2 cup of sugar and the 1 tablespoon of butter, heat in microwave for 1 full minute

Mix together 1 cup self rising flour, 1 cup of sugar until blended

Add to that mixture, 1 cup of milk and blend fairly smooth

Take baking dish & butter (melted by now) out of the oven and pour the batter into the butter, . . . DO NOT STIR OR MIX

Pour fruit into batter & butter in the baking dish, . . . DO NOT STIR OR MIX

Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the top, pop into the oven at 350 for 55 or so minutes, . . . or until golden.

Cool, . . . add ice cream, . . . eat.

ENJOY, ..........

May God bless,

Dwight.. Thank you for the recipe... Now I just have to find the rhubarb.. I haven't seen it in any grocery stores around here but will have to look again now that I have the recipe!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, Thats a good one. Did you know you really can build a holster upside down and backwards? It looked great on the bench. When I tried to put it on to test it. I found out that you can't put it on no how. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. The only thing that I did right was the molding---I think---Better check. Ha Ha Ha Ha. Thanks for the recipe Dwight. If i can get my wife to stop laughing maybe i can get her to bake one for me. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
