A frolic in Cambodia

Cobbler does not have crust on the bottom. That's a pie.

Dry, floury top is a crisp. Wet, doughy top (think biscuits, but sweeter) is a cobbler.

Oh my god. I am hungry. And you are all going to make me have to bake. Fuckers.

I like Gattigap's "To fuck or to cook". Sounds vaguely Hamlet-esque.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageously large breasts,
Or to take arms against a sea of vegetables,
And by grilling, cook them?

OK, I'm sorry, but you are just flat wrong. Pies have crust on teh bottom and up the sides, and the insides stick together better. Cobblers may only have crust on the bottom, and the insides are liquidier. Crisps are crisp because they have the sugarier topping which becomes crisp (caramelized) during baking.

I hear she's dating Jack Manfred.

I actually agree with you, except for the part about me being wrong. I think we're saying more or less the same thing, but having a problem with the language. Like when you tell your hair-colorist you'd like "a little change" and walk out looking like Paris Hilton. But I digress....

Food TV defines a cobbler as " A baked, deep-dish fruit dessert topped with a thick biscuit crust sprinkled with sugar."

A pie is "A sweet or savory dish made with a crust and filling (such as fruit, pudding, meat or vegetable). Pies can have bottom crusts only, or top and bottom crusts or, as with deep-dish pies, only a top crust. Sweet pies are generally served as dessert and savory pies as the main course or appetizer. Crusts can be made of a variety of mixtures including short crust pastry, puff pastry, cookie crumbs, meringue and even, as with shepherd's pie, mashed potatoes."

And a crisp is "A dessert of fruit baked with a sweet crumbly topping."

So, in short, the difference between a crisp and a cobbler is the topping and the deep-dishedness.

I'd mow her lawn.

I watched that Desperate Housewives show with my wife last nite. That chick is just unreal. Where'd she come from?

I wasn't hungry before this whole discussion began, but now I am.

Also, I have an excellent recipe for dewberry cobbler that I'll post when I get home tonight.

Received in an e-mail:

"Unless you're in prison, never fight naked."

Good advice indeed.

I'm sure that everyone on the board will agree that I am mostly correct when I say you have ruined the FB jello and/or pudding fight prospects entirely, and you are a rat bastard for doing so.

Yes, please. Also, reading about Apple Crisps just makes me hungry.

Are there any Apple Pie scents out there? Because apple pie in the oven is a really good smell - right up there with melting fields, fresh green hay, and the beach smell.

And warm Apple Pie feels great, too.

I like it when people don't get it, or better yet, when two people get it and the others can't tell it's a movie/tv quote b/c it was so deftly applied to the topic or situation that the statement/quote seemed entirely reasonable and relevant. Everyone kinds of nods in agreement, and you look over at the person who gets it and give him that "Man Getting Hit By Football (starring George C. Scott)" look.

I threw the A.N. Soundtrack onto my Ipod and hooked it up to an outdoor speaker setup for a Halloween party. I put the thing on random with a shitload of of Hives, Clash, Stones, Rage, Dead... etc... The A.N. soundtrack creates a great ambiance for loud outdoor parties. I highly recommend it. There's something perfectly indulgent about listening to Black Sabbath at full bore and then hear the Ride of the Valkyries come ripping through the speakers behind machine gun fire as a sort of intermission-from-hell. Keeps the guests up.

Now that raises a fun challenge - recipes for things other people don't eat much. I mean, when was the last time anyone here ate dewberries?

(Anyone want my sister's recipe for termites and palm wine?)
