Saved by disaster!

This afternoon I made a peach cobbler to take to a get-together for the above 55 crowd at church. It looked great! It was 1 cup of self-rising flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk, mixed together and poured over one can of peaches (in heavy syrup). Then you cut 1 stick of butter into thin pats and spread over the mixture. Oven 350 for about 40 minutes.

On the way home I decided I wanted one for myself. So I stopped at Harris Foodland and bought a can of peaches. At home I eagerly prepared another and waited for my lovely dessert. Ugh! Old habits die hard. When I reached for the flour--I just grabbed my usual canister rather than the small sack of self-rising flour. Instead of rising--this all-purpose flour just sank to the bottom. I had wonderfully sweet peaches floating in a sea of butter on top of some flour goo at the bottom of the pan. I must admit the peaches tasted great--but I just couldn't go the flour goop!

Kerbe and I certainly did not need a peach cobbler to eat all by ourselves! So bad worked out for the best!
