Step away from the blackberry cobbler!
Yes, it's blackberry season in the mid-atlantic region, and the same biscuit recipe I use for strawberry shortcake, offered up earlier, is also my recipe for cobbler topping. Less than a week ago, the Jellybean commented at the table, "I wish we knew how to make blackberry cobbler." "Pardon me, I replied, nettled, "I am perfectly capable of making a blackberry cobbler."
And so I did. And she was perfectly capable of eating it. And it was perfectly capable of staining her mouth a most alarming shade of blue, and you should have seen the bathroom sink when she was done brushing her teeth.
No other especially interesting news to report. I'm in transition from one drug to another, so there's good odds I will no longer awake in the night with the surface of my skin aflame, which--though diverting in its way--was not especially conducive to perfect repose. My classes started today, and though I launched the day just dripping with Atti-tyood, I'll say that this semester, if my mental state carries me through, should yield less ennui than my past experiences.
Such is life chez Jilbur. *yawn* Anyone heard any good jokes lately?
OH. MY. GOD. Those are the pictures you show her prom date, Jill. I'm still giggling.

here's a joke:
Q. Why did the tomato blush?
A. Because it saw the salad dressing!

Mmmmm...blackberry cobbler. Perfect served with homemade blackberry sage tea ice cream. My butt is expanding just from thinking about it.

I think it's pretty funny that JB would casually remark that she wishes you knew how to make blackberry cobbler. What little kid does that?! I guess one with a sophisticated palate.
Hope the new 'script is new and improved.
