<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 4281197, member: 100459&quot;]My wife and I had a wonderful dinner yesterday.&nbsp; She made oven fried chicken, green beans, and homemade potato salad.&nbsp; I love Sweet Baby Ray on the side for our chicken.&nbsp; There are so many dishes that are easy to make for just the two of us. All three children are grown and we are blessed with beautiful grandchildren (11).&nbsp; We live in the greatest area in North Carolina.&nbsp; One daughter lives about 45 minutes away, another lives outside the beltline of Atlanta, and my son&#039;s family also lives outside of the beltline.&nbsp; My wife recently turned 71 and I will be 73 in December.&nbsp; My specialty is deserts.&nbsp; I love to make and eat what I make from scratch.&nbsp; I made a Blackberry &quot;Quickie Pie&quot;.&nbsp; It&#039;s easy to make.&nbsp; </p><p>Take a stick of butter (not margarine), cut it in quarter inch squares and lay them on the bottom of a 9&quot; square Pyrex dish.&nbsp; Set the oven at 350 degrees and put the Pyrex to the middle of the oven.&nbsp; While the butter melts, mix one cup of self-rising flour, one cup of sugar (real sugar) and slowly add one cup of 2% milk. Mix the batter until it is a smooth batter.&nbsp; By the time the batter is mixed, take the Pyrex out of the oven and set it on top of a surface burner and pour the batter into the Pyrex, then add a blackberry pie filling slowly into the batter evenly spread. Make sure the oven is now at 350 degrees and then put the Pyrex into the oven again for 45 minutes.&nbsp; Check the dish to see if the top is a light brown, if it is, take it out of the oven and lightly spread sugar on top, then put it back in the oven for about 5-10 minutes. Once the top is a rich brown, or to your liking, take it out of the oven. Dish out the Quickie Pie (some call it cobbler) into a desert bowl. Some people like vanilla ice cream with it.&nbsp; If they do, add the ice cream to the desert bowl and quickly eat it because the ice cream melts quickly.&nbsp; There are many other fruits that can be used ... Peach, Cherry, Apple.&nbsp; It is a great dish for guests.&nbsp; I won a baking contest with this recipe that my mother taught me before I was drafted during Vietnam.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
