Last week, I took the MEMs out to pick berries, once we got to the farm, we found out there would be no berry picking; instead we could pick peaches and apricots! What to do with buckets of stone fruit??

We have been lucky to be-friend a few people out there in the virtual food world, one of them being Christine, over at HolyBasil. Christine makes wonderful dishes with Vietnamese and French Flair and her photos are drool worthy. Christine… 3 comments Denise and Lenny - I’m really glad you guys liked the stuff. I’m hoping your mere de vinaigre will take off and you’ll have some lovely wine vinegar of your own. One of these days, we have to open an online boutique selling artisan masa and vinegar Christine rocks! We received this awesome goody package too and thanks to her, we’ll be making our own vinegar! Let’s compare notes later and see how our results turned out! COOL! Thanks for the link. I have to try making my own vinegars.  I am so happy that Beth over at Our Sweet Life, chose the Mixed Berry Cobbler for this weeks Tuesdays with Dorie challenge. Why? We needed a simple but summery dessert for our bash. This recipe, which can be found here, is incredibly easy and everyone should add it to their “go to dessert” during… 27 comments That looks so very totally deliciously good I love cobbler, this looks great and I can feel the warm summer sun on my face already. That looks so good! Now I wish I had made a bigger pan! But wait, I bought another bag of frozen fruit today….. Your cobbler looks AMAZING! Your cobbler looks so warm and gooey. I love it! I was wondering about David’s ice cream book; thanks for the recommendation. Dorie and David – how perfect. A perfect dessert with zin – mmm! [...] Photo from Chez Us. [...] Cobbler with mascarpone ice cream!? This sounds out of this world! I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could! Beautiful work! Looks great!! I love David’s ice cream book too, never did the mascarpone ice cream though, have to give it a try! That looks gorgeous! And thanks for the tip on the book. We’ve been talking about making our own ice cream but weren’t sure where to start. Wow – that icecream sounds delish. The cobbler looks beautiful – great job. Lovely! Home-made ice cream too! I tried the black pepper but couldn’t taste it. Maybe I should add a bit more next time…sounds good! Dorie and David…aren’t they the perfect pair! My copy of The Perfect Scoop is well worn and marked, and i think his recipes are superb! How funny, I topped my cobbler with masacarpone ice cream as well…wasn’t it a decadent topping!!!! That looks really tasty! I’ve never had mascarpone ice cream before–I bet that must be something else! I’ll have to try this one I totally need to buy that book and make the mascarpone ice cream! Cobbler looks wonderful! It looks divine with the ice cream. I will have to make that before the summer is over. I loved the crust almost better than the filling. Wow! I simply adore that picture of the cobbler cooling on the window ledge! …both your pictures carry some sort of light that is just perfect for the cobbler’s rustic “ambiance”!!! Okay…truly beautiful food and photography first off, and then, oh, you are making me a very bad person…I’m off to get the Scoop book…I have put it off for literally a couple of years, but your description…David owes you royalties. i must get that book! yours looks so wonderful! YES! MASCARPONE ice cream!! Love it!!! Nice job! I totally need to buy that book. lol, farm animal taste. Your funny. Yeah for pairing Dorie and David! I made David’s French Vanilla ice cream to go with my cobbler! Wow! That last picture looks so inviting and AMAZING! Great looking cobbler, absolutely delicious! Wow, mascarpone ice cream with the cobbler sounds fantastic! Beautiful job! Your description is great. I wish I would have put the pepper in mine…I’ll have to try it again. You’ve inspired me to top the last of my cobblers with whipping cream flavored with a hint of late harvest zinfandel for dessert tomorrow. It’ll pair perfectly with the peppery berries.  this is what dinner was tonight. As Donna Hay would say, “simple made simple”. Tonight we headed back down under for a warm mushroom salad. Earthy, with a salty aftertaste from the bacon; but, then you are grabbed and pulled in by the citrus in the light lemon juice dressing with creamy feta and lemon… no comments  I am basically behind on life. I can not seem to catch up on working, phone calls (sorry everyone), emails and especially Chez US.

You guys really know how to set a lovely table too!  We may be speaking too soon; but, summer may be here or at least it felt like it last night! Nothing beats coming home and finding that it is warm enough to sit on the deck, enjoy a glass of wine and not have to pull on your cable knit sweater.

Ours became fish tacos after marinating in lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Looks fabulous. Know what you mean about the weather too  Did you know a chicken could be, weird? The first words out of Lenny’s mouth, before he even tasted this dish, was, “What is this weird chicken?” Now, it did not smell, “weird”, nor did it really look “weird”.
