#11383

So Pioneer Woman is doing another giveaway.
Another Red Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer Giveaway no less.
All you have to do is comment.
I happen to be comment #11,383.
Did you catch that?
#Eleven THOUSAND three hundred and eighty three.
I commented for the sheer enjoyment of finding out how many comments there were. However I wasn't quite expecting that number. I also do not expect to win. I doubt they sold that many lottery tickets in the entire state of Kentucky today. In which case my odds are better of winning the lottery than winning a PW giveaway. Now that is sad.
*edited to add that at 7:30 central time there are now well over 16 thousand entries....wow...just wow*
If I could get 11,383 comments on my blog in one day, I would giveaway a mixer too....




This item is on my wish list of things I will probably never buy for myself. Right up there with a Nikon D40 6.1 Megapixel Camera.
I wish that I would buy them for myself but it probably won't happen, with me being as frugal as I am.
It's kind of sad really.
I can talk myself out of buying anything.
Even if it's something I actually need.
Not that I need a pretty red artisan stand mixer, or a fancy new camera. I just want them. Especially the camera...& well the mixer...see my problem? I wouldn't even know how to choose!
However I do need my husband to install my dishwasher. The problem with making homemade blackberry cobblers is there is quite a bit of cleanup involved afterward and with no dishwasher, well, that tends to put a damper on my desire to cook....

Mini Blackberry Cobblers!

I got this recipe from Pioneer Woman earlier last week, & tonight I tried it out.
They were sooo good!
I decided to post the recipe for y'all in case you missed it.
You can use any kind of berry or fruit. Dh has already requested that I use peaches next time. She used raspberries but I had blackberries on hand & they were great! The best part is it's super easy, & fast. Easy being the key factor in the fact that I actually pulled it off. : )
Here it is:

Individual Raspberry Cobblers
Makes 24 cobblers

2 cups self-rising flour (must use self-rising)
2 cups sugar
2 cups milk
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh raspberries
Extra sugar for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine flour with sugar, then whisk in milk. Whisk in melted butter and vanilla.
Pour 1/4 cup batter into greased muffin tins. Sprinkle a few raspberries on top. Finish by sprinkling with sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Invert onto a cooling rack and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

There you have it girls, give it a shot! You won't be sorry.

Actually I am sorry, because Jillian will punish me for them in the morning....
