Misty mountain peach cobbler
|
Well, yesterday I had on my mind for a cinnamon roll at the Glen Haven
General Store - but I didn't make it in time. This morning, before
Mass, I was prompted with some Cinnamon Roll goodness from a secret
Midwest kitchen. That planted the seed - to make a quick trip for a
treat (it's getting late in the season - I'd best make good use of the
time). Leaving home, rain is a solid possibility. Yesterday was good blue and today no blue is to be found. One might think a blue sky day is the pinnacle of enjoyable scenery in the mountains. While a blue sky day is well enjoyed, clouds do have the ability to enhance the scenery - that is today. Sitting on my leg is not the typical treat but rather a cobbler. They had Peach, Blueberry and Cherry (the last being the most popular). I opted for the peach as the roadside peach stands are in full swing - Palisade (Colo) peaches are a local treat. I was taken aback when the clerk asked if I would like it warmed. Yes please. Ice cream? Yes please. I commented that, in the past, other clerks would not warm a cobbler as they were in plastic cups and would not put plastic into the microwave. The comment came back - two years ago the store came under new management. Great! Warm cobbler is back on the menu. (and no, I wasn't dodging melted bits of plastic - but it'd be worth the risk) |
| A gracious Thank You for this kind gift. First (for me) this season for a cinnamon roll was on the Storm Mountain trip a couple weeks prior. (click to view) |
| Treat well enjoyed... some misty mountains! |
