Today was a day that was fit for neither man nor beast... it was pouring rain most of the time and when it wasn't it was drizzling. I decided it was definitely a day for comfort food. I really felt like a chocolate self-saucing pudding but we don't have any cocoa powder, so I scratched my head a bit and then thought of using the fresh peaches we bought on the weekend. I sliced the peaches into a baking dish, topped them with brown sugar and a little water, and mixed up a basic cake mix to put on top. Then I took the rest of the cake mix, added chocolate chips and cherries leftover from Christmas (I don't bake a lot since there's just the two of us) and I made some cupcakes...
tonight's dinnerMmmm... yummy! I made corn chowder on sunday night because I wasn't feeling well and...
crazy day wine chickenI was just going to post about the wine chicken I made last night, when I read A.C.'s post about redneck coq au vin...
The main course was thick-cut potato wedges baked in the nice hot oven at the same time as the pudding, served with a quick green salad and buttermilk ranch dressing (Publix brand, which is pretty nice) and sour cream on the side, and a bowl of nice spicy turkey chilli. The best part of that was that I didn't have to cook it - I put it in the freezer a few weeks ago so I just had to reheat it.
Yummy!
