This past Sunday I spent time with one of my favorite people doing one of my favorite things...baking with my lovely friend Daphne. She sent me recipe for plum cobbler, knowing my obsession, and it looked so tasty and cozy I had to try it. I still remember the first cobbler we made together when I first starting baking. It was a blackberry cobbler and we accidentally put cumin instead of cinnamon on the blackberries! Luckily we were able to wash off the berries and still achieve a great tasting cobbler. So much has changed since then, including our kitchen skills, and it is such a privilege to watch her be a wonderful mother to two of the sweetest kids. I had to include some photos of them because they are so stinkin cute.
