How Sweet it Is.


Over the weekend I made chocolate sauce.....


....and a wild plum cobbler. We have been indulging. 


The constant turmoil that is now the US is causing stress and stress tends to bring on certain ways of coping. Indulging in dessert is one of my ways.

Comfort food does help--lol! ;)

Val Ewing said...

I get it, I am indulging in leaving being in the forest and out of cell phone range or internet range.

Sandra said...

😄Funny, Ivy!

Sandra said...

I've saved the pits and am going to try growing some on my property, Boud. Neighbor Bill gave these to me.

Sandra said...

It is, Far Side!

Sandra said...

I'm needing a lot of comfort Rita.

Sandra said...

HA! I'll get right on it, Shirley!

Sandra said...

Your stress reliever is healthier than mine, Val.

Lori Skoog said...

Now that sounds delicious. Whatever it takes to get through this.

That is so tempting!

Dreaming said...

Mmm, yes! Very sweet! IMHO there is nothing finer than a fresh fruit cobbler right out of the oven with ice cream. Your pictures look cook book worthy!

As long as the president doesn't ban desserts on the grounds that they're made by illegal aliens....

Looks yummy. I just ordered 2 pies for our TG which is coming up soon — Oct 13.

Sandra said...

You got that right, Lori.

Sandra said...

Too tempting, Cheerful!

Sandra said...

I am an ice cream addict, Dreaming!

Sandra said...

There was a time I'd find that funny, nick. Now, it seems there is no bottom to any this.

Sandra said...

When I was really busy I would order my pies as well, AC. There was a place that made them better than I could.

I really like your delicious 😋 way of coping, Sandra.

Sandra said...

It works, Dorothy.

Sandra said...

I love peach cobbler, Dora.

Sandra said...

It was that, e!

nick said...

Sandra, my apologies. I didn't mean to imply that the ongoing political outrage in the States isn't a serious concern. My joke was obviously misplaced.

Sandra said...

And the I wasn’t clear, nick! I meant that it’s sad that one could actually contemplate this as a possibility 😊 how far down the rabbit hole we have gone.
