Twilight Obsession

I just finished the first book in the Twilight series. I don't really understand the obsession with it. Maybe it's aimed at a younger audience than myself, not sure. I watched the movie & it stayed pretty close to the book. I would have definitely ended it differently though. I guess I will read the next in the series New Moon as I would like to know what happens to Bella & Edward. I need to put the books down & get back to my stitching. There's a little progression on Beguiling Tiger but I probably won't post a pic until it's finished. Hope everyone has had a wonderful week & thanks for stopping by my blog :0)

Hippity Hoppity

Spring is on it's way or I sure hope it is. Certainly felt like it here today with the temps being in the 70's. This little bunny sewed up rather quickly. He came out of the April 2008 Stoney Creek magazine. I'm hoping to have my beguiling tiger finished sometime this week. Thanks to all who
stop by to check on my progress or lack thereof :0)

Update #3 & Blackberry Cobbler

Whew, it's been a few days since I've posted but I did get a bit done on Beguiling Tiger - here he is. Seems as though the chart is growing or my fingers are slowing, not sure which it is :-) I've been watching some tv & movies while stitching. Been following a british drama called Mistresses. Any other fans? These girls can get into some real trouble. Have got the movie Australia with Nicole Kidman to watch. Hope it's as good as it's advertisements. Well, off to make a blackberry cobbler, iron skillet style.

Tammy's Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 can blackberry pie filling
  
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup flour
• Pinch salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the butter in a large (10- to 12-inch) cast-iron skillet (may substitute a large ovenproof baking dish) and place in the oven so the butter melts; this should take 5 to 7 minutes.

Whisk together the flour, and salt in a separate medium bowl. Add the cup of sugar, milk and vanilla extract, stirring until well incorporated.

Remove the skillet from the oven. Carefully pour the melted butter from the skillet into the batter, stirring to combine, then pour the batter all at once into the skillet. Add the blackberry pie filling to the center of the batter. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out mostly clean. Serve warm, straight from the skillet. Top with ice cream or cool whip.
