ANOTHER GREY DAY AND PEACH SPONGEY,CAKEY, COBBLER

It is another grey day........but I am thoroughly enjoying it!  So much better than all that sun for a change.  Ran to Muskogee to Bobs doctor this morning.........all is fine.  He thinks he feels bad but he really doesn't.  On the way up there we were discussing food.  When he was an iron worker 50 years ago in Wyoming, he was working on the bridges the gov built around Wyoming.  He was remembering staying in very small little towns that had only one little corner cafe.  They had to eat every meal there.  What brought us to this conversation was remembering how all those little cafes served French Dressing on pieces of lettuce as their salad with a meal............the French Dressing was ketchup and Mayo!!  Still a favorite, with some, I guess.

So yesterday I had all these fresh peaches so I made this Peachy dessert.  I read this recipe somewhere.........but I changed it some.........it turned out really good.
Throw in a bowl 2 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp salt (I know that seems like a lot but I loved that sweet/salty taste) 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg or a grind or two if you have fresh nutmeg.  Then in another bowl whisk 2 eggs with 1 1/2 cups sour cream, 1 cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla. In a 12" cast iron skillet melt 1/4 cup butter........remove from heat.......Dump your dry ingredients into the wet and mix real well with a whisk. Then pour that into the buttery pan.  Now slice 4 peaches and drop the slices on top of the batter.  Bake about 45 min. at 350 degrees.  Serve with thick cream...........I just can't tell you how good this was!
