What's Cooking?

Wife has made sourdough bread 27-28 years and the mulberry jelly is good with her bread. She used to make it and strawberry freezer jam and I'd take it on the caboose while working the local. All it took was a little warm up on the caboose stove,some butter and the strawberry jam and the eating was good. And we have 3 white vehicles.😳

When I was a boy, the little creek that ran near our house was very natural. Today it is a concrete conduit. Developers and the city were tired of the flooding.

I roamed that creek for 3 or 4 miles in each direction. About a mile upstream from the house, two mulberry trees sat on the bank of the creek. During the season, I would visit everyday and eat myself sick on them.

I give my wife a lot of trouble over her powdered potatoes but she can out bake me any day of the week.  Made what she called a depression cake.

Cake made with mayo instead of oil???? just cause I'm jonesing for a heavy (think Brick) chocolate cake - Same density as a brick 

Looks delish either way!... Tell the Spouse Well Done!.... (Wipe Slobber)

Definately no mayo! I think its another food group, she won't touch it with a 10' foot pole.

Not sure what constitutes a "depression" cake.  I would guess it has something to do with access to ingredients during the depression era.  The frosting was more of a glaze.

I'll just call it delicious.

It’s called depression cake because everybody who doesn’t get some goes into a deep depression 😀

Man, that looks good!!

                So I suppose we have some REA members here and you all get the rural Missouri magazine? Well there was a recipe in there called the South of the Border pizza. The Mrs. did some tweaking and made it a deep dish I guess you would call it. Pretty tasty. Reminded me of enchilada and or a tamale mix taste wise. Pretty good and worth a repeat performance someday. Well I had a leftover of it this afternoon. I like eggs with my enchilada or tamale so I scrambled a couple to go wit it. However I did not snap a pic of it but I did do one of dessert!

    Ginger snaps and the miller high life I had left from dinner. Actually it was good .

Forgot about mulberries. We do have some trees that we could harvest mulberries without too much consternation. We've never tried mulberry jelly. I do agree that having birds above your vehicles and a tree full of ripe mulberries is a purple mess everyday through the season.

Not to mention the flies.

I know it's weird but all those death by chocolate things just make me want a green popsicle or a glass of iced tea. They are just way too much for my delicate palate.
