Green and sweet

Last night was Second Saturday on Friday. SS is a monthly dinner with friends. It is a potluck that rotates thru different homes. Usually there is a theme - this one ended up being loosely summer picnic. The host makes a dish and then everyone else makes something to go with that.

So, we made a cobbler using rhubarb, peaches, cherries and blueberries. We worked combining what looked like the best parts of 2 different recipes. The topping was more like a sugar cookie than a biscuit. If I made it again, think I would try and make the batter a little fluffier so that it would cook all the way thru more evenly. Anyhow, when we left it was 2/3rds gone, so couldn't have been very awful.

Also, here is a picture of some herbs in a recycled 'vase' that we brought along too. Not the same as gorgeous flowers, but figured that while Diane is away someone has to try and keep things classy.
