So none of my friends have heard of blackberry cobbler.


When I was a kid visiting my grandma in Tennessee they had blackberry cobbler like in every diner and people prided themselves on it. I'm talking the old fashioned, cooked in an iron skillet, might as well be hocake blackberry cobbler.

I'm not crazy, am I? Others have heard of this? Admittedly I'm old and this memory is from the late 70s.





I've also had blackberry cobbler that looked pretty similar to that picture.

The trailing blackberry is native to the Pacific Northwest.

There's also the Himalayan blackberry, which is invasive & a real pain in the rear end to remove.

Guess which ones grow in my neighbors' yards next to mine & keeps crawling over the fence?

I don't understand people who can wear CPAP machines. It felt like resting a leafblower on my mustache.

I snored from the time I was a teenager and always chalked up fatigue to my night owl impulse control issues, partying, and long dogshit hours on the ambulance. Then early in our relationship my wife pointed out I stopped breathing at night.

I resisted at first but got the study and surprise surprise I had OSA.

It took some adjustment but I sleep noticeably poorly without it (like when I can’t tolerate bc of sinusitis or something). I’ve been wearing it every night for almost 9 years.

Totally worth the initial discomfort.

Get a whole rear end mouth and nose mask instead!

Seriously though if you actually do need it--I might need it less now since I've lost a lot of weight over the last few years--once you get used to it you're addicted. You can't take a nap without it.

I had to go thru several CPAP masks to end up with the one I like (just covers the nose).

I never had marionberry pie until I moved to Oregon. Before then I thought marionberry was a mayor of Washington DC that did crack with some prostitutes.

I have not sought them out but I feel like gooseberries are hard to come by these days.

Our neighbor when I was a kid had several plants and I'd have to help harvest and, like, prep them for pies. That experience kinda made me hate them by default (and also my dumbass trying one on its own) so I never ate the pie. Now I want to eat the pie to see what it's like and it's a little hard to find.

I actually prefer nectarines over peaches.

Also I like nectarines and similar fruit not-quite-ripe and more crunchy.

Persimmons are probably my favorite fruit and it's always great getting them around Christmas. I wish I was able to grow the persimmon tree my mom gifted me. :smith:

If I ever own a home, I want my property to be full of berries. Preferably non-invasive ones, of course, but berries are the best.

....on second thought, maybe I'll just keep the invasive fuckers in pots.

This is probably more work than I imagine, but the idea of just being able to go out into my yard and get food from it sounds a million times better than just a plain of grass.

My parents have a raspberry patch and a few weeks ago I took a bunch of the neighborhood kids out there to pick a pumpkin and they absolutely raided the patch. I spent the next couple weeks bringing raspberries home for them all to snack on.

My grand parents had a giant raspberry patch in their backyard and when I visited in the summer I would spend entire afternoons just picking berries for them that they'd pay me some miniscule amount of money for, but also just eat a poo poo ton myself. It was pretty awesome. The picking wasn't a requirement, if I didn't want to do it I could do something else, or just eat them, it was just "hey we'll give you a couple bucks if you fill this small bucket with raspberries."

My stepdad's favorite dessert is gooseberry pie. It's increasingly hard to come by, but Oregon the canned fruit company does make it, although they don't sell it in any stores around here any more so you have to order it online. I've also found it in jars from weird random tiny bespoke companies every now and again.

Since I was curious about it I looked it up a while back and apparently in like the 18th century, americans were just naming any random rear end thing a gooseberry. There's several and some are not even the same genus, like "cape gooseberries" which I can actually find in stores here sometimes are totally unrelated.

Boysenberries are also invented, a cross between several berries including Loganberries, which are themselves a cross. Made by a Mr. Boysen and a Mr. Logan, of course, because if you invent a new berry you name it after yourself. When I was a little kid my stepdad got us a boysenberry pie and I thought he said "poison berry" and refused to eat it until my sister had some first.

Anyway I have some thornless blackberry bushes around the side of the house but they don't do very well. The fruit goes from nearly ripe to dried and hard and brown very fast because it's ripening in our already very hot and dry season. If I watered it more regularly it'd probably do OK. We get enough each year to eat but not enough to make even one whole pie. I've made blackberry jam (totally rules) and had visions of having enough to make pies and jams but after like six years of it verrry sloooowly spreading we're nowhere near there so that's probably never happening.

When I bought the house it had a row of dewberry vines behind it and I still curse my stupid loving decision to mow them down. I still pick a bunch in March/April from places around here, but I had them right there by me.

Sorry to distract from Berry cobbler chat, but how the gently caress did the Republicans find someone who is even more of a fascist than Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise to be Speaker of the House? I've never heard of this guy before and everything I hear about him now makes me think "Why couldn't we have the guy who said he was David Duke without the baggage or the guy who covered up sexual assault of teenagers?"
