Lost Post-Cobbler

Hiya... so this is the recipe from one of the lost posts. If you would like something you can print let me know and I can email you the word file. XOXO

Gramma Louella's Surprise Cobbler—Revised

Original Recipe

* 1 ½ Cup Bisquick

* 1 Cup Sugar

* ½ Cup Melted Butter or Margerine (one stick)

* 1-2 ½ Large cans fruit (Gramma says the more the better, my favorite is apricots)

* ¾ Cup Milk

* 3-4 Tbsp Corn Starch

1. Preheat oven to 425°.

2. Drain the fruit, reserving about ½ cup of liquid. Heat in medium saucepan on the stove. You can add sugar If you would like the fuite sweeter. Bring fruit to a light boil.

3. While the fruit is cooking, mix together the bisquick, sugar, melted butter and milk. The batter will feel somewhat thick.

4. Depending on how thick you want the fruit to be, add 3-4 tablespoons to the reserved liquid and pour into the fruit. Stirring until thickened. If you want the fruit thicker, you can add more corn starch.

5. Spray a long baking pan and add the hot fruit.

6. Pour or spoon the bisquick mixture over the fruit. Don't worry if it doesn't cover the entore top completely. It will rise and spread out durring the baking process.

7. Sprinkle the top with an extra ¼ cup of sugar if desired.

8. Bak for 20-30 minutes until a skewer in the middle comes out clean.

Revised Recipe-Fruit Only

* 3 Cups Sliced Rhubarb

* 3 Cups Sliced Strawberries

* 1 Large Can Apricots (you can supstitute fresh Apricots, I would guess about 2 cups)

* ½ Cup Sugar

* 1 Tblsp Butter

* 3-4 Tblsp Corn Starch

1. Melt butter in medium saucepan.

2. Add sliced rhubarb and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

3. Add strawberries and sugar.

4. Drain apricots reserving about ¼- ½ cup liquid. Add to pan.

5. Mix together the reserved liquid corn starch. Once the fruit comes to a boil add the mixture and stir until thickened.

6. Follow the original recipe for topping and baking.

Letter to a Long Ago Friend

I lost you fourteen years ago. I'm not sure how or why, but somewhere along the way our friendship just vanished.

Did we just grow apart, or did we disagree and just never recover? I wish I knew...I wish I could remember.

Maybe I lacked the bravery and the knowledge to keep out friendship growing. Maybe it became too hard and with so many other things in life, I just gave up.

I hate to think that I gave up on a friendship that spanned our adolescent and teenage years. Maybe we were meant to part. Maybe adulthood was never meant to be a part of our story. Were we friends simply because our circumstances united us, or was there a spark there that kept us close? Sometimes, I wonder what our friendship would look like today.

I watch you from a distance now. I'm not quite sure I let go, but I am no longer holding on. I haven't spoken your name or heard your voice in almost a decade...but I'm so proud of you. I've seen who you've become. You have bravely and honestly pursued the life you have been given and accomplished so many things that you always wanted to do.

I know that you will never read this, but if there is one thing I could tell you, it would be this...I will always be in the background, standing in the shadows cheering you on.
