You know you are getting old when…………

So I dialed the number I know by heart.   It’s our Friday evening ritual.

The pleasant voice on the other end of the line asks, “Is this Mrs. M?”

“Why Yes,” I say, with a bit of a startle and a big grin – wondering whether to be flattered or concerned….

“Delivery to Blankety Blank Blank Road?”

“Yes!”    I’m either more excited or more concerned….

And I go about ordering our usual Friday night pizza/salad delivery from our favorite Mars Pizza.

Yep – that’s our Friday night ritual.

And yep – that means we are getting old.

When Friday night is your earliest go to bed night, earliest get in your jammies and sit in front of the television and eat dinner night – you are getting O L D!

But I LOVE IT!

And what is even better?

When the delivery boy tells you they are extremely embarrassed about the condition of your grilled chicken salad and a credit is going on your tab for next time.  SCORE!

And I thought the salad was just fine.

So anyway – since dinner is so much effort on Friday night, the least I can do is make a sweet treat for the Hubster.  (Is Marty lucky or what?!?)  🙂

My guys love peaches, but not when they get very ripe.  I had a few “more ripe than they like” peaches that I thought I could do something with, and then I had this tube of refrigerator sugar cookie dough from who knows when in the fridge, so put that together…..

and I come up with Peach Cookie Cobbler!

So, since this was just a wing it recipe (I should have measured thinking I would blog the recipe!) – we’ll give a shot at remembering the ingredients.

But I do want to tell you, friends – Don’t be afraid to wing it!  Just like cooking, baking does not have to be an exact science.  Experiment.  Improvise.  Use what you have and what tastes good or “right” to you!

So I gathered the peaches.

After peeling and slicing them (and munching on one!) – I squeezed some fresh lemon juice over them, added some sugar and cinnamon and a bit of flour to thicken.  (My guesstimate is about 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp cinnamon, and 1/4 cup flour to the 6 peaches)

I put this mixture in an 8 inch round baking stone.

Then I just pulled pieces of the cookie dough off and crumbled all over the top of the peaches.

I sprinkled a little more cinnamon sugar on top and baked at 350 for 30 minutes.

And Voila!  A quick and easy peach cookie cobbler.

This would work wonderfully with apples too!

Enjoy!

Cheers & Hugs,
