Plum Cobbler

Small, tangy, not too sweet plums were in everywhere at the farmers market about two weeks ago.

We had people over for Dungeons and Dragons; it was too hot to make something nice for them.  The morning following, however, was cool enough to use the oven.

It began with these:

A pan full of plums...

The topping was ad hoc, just a basic biscuit with a half cup of oats thrown in and some turbinado sugar sprinkled on top for that crispy sparkle

These tangy plums taste tart like rhubarb, which is a rare find around here.

Plum Coffee Cake

The parents sent me another cinnamon coffee cake mix from The Cravings Place.  I had some farmers market plums.  I introduced them, and they seemed to get along.

I find that the suggested amount of butter mixed with the streusel topping is not enough, so I usually add more or add some veggie oil.

There hasn't been much going on in the cohabitat kitchen these days but the ho-hum of bread and the duh of garlicky long beans.  More soon.
