Made a peach cobbler without self-rising flour as the recipe called for.
Used all purpose and baking powder, no salt added!
Just returned from Jax. My daughter requested an old fashion Sunday meal while there.
Knowing it is the Labor Day weekend, we had hamburgers, roasted asparagus and a Feta cheese salad. We finished off her Calem 1996 Vintage Porto.
Did you know, once opened, Port wine must be drank within the 48 hours?
The cobbler turned out fine. To go along, we opened a Sayanca Malbec 2015. Full of berries, vanilla, spices with a citrus note.
This was a low price Aldi selection. I was more interested in the Argentina signature grape, still with a lot of demand. You can't go to a party or event and not find a Malbec being served. One reason the supply is still strong.
Other choices I am looking for: a Trevento 2012 Golden Reserve Malbec. Steven Racine drunk with his prime rib. Also, a Chateau du Cedre 2012 Cahors.

Oh Honey!
When the mighty dollar is involved, it is only then, New Zealand want to call the indigenous Maori people "Honey."
New Zealand's honey makers recently made a beeline for the country's Intellectual Property Office seeking exclusive international right to "manuka."
The name the Maori people gave the tree whose nectar is the basis of the honey.
The honey's antibacterial properties are the product of substances in the nectar produced by the tree's flowers.
Scientific research has shown the benefits of manuka-honey: it can help heal wounds, ulcers and burns, to soothing a sore throat, and boosting the immune system.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the sale of manuka-honey products in the United States.
The honey, which can bring a price of $3.40 an ounce, compared to .20 cents for the "plain Jane," type honey, according to the New Zealand government. This is making the Maroi people the Kiwis' closest friends.
