I went to the beach yesterday - Colonial Beach to be precise but I was not "cois farraige". Colonial Beach is a small Virginia town which lies along a beautiful stretch of the Potomac river. Pre-Colonial times, there were Native American villages on both sides of the Potomac River varying in size from 200-300 to several thousand inhabitants. They were farmers, fishermen and hunters. Today watermen and women work crab pots, others continue to oyster and fish pound or gillnets. Further inland I picked "sméara dubha" on a huge farm, their peaches are just the best. I also found a "puc ar buille" and the corn was certainly high as an elephant's eye.

PEACH COBBLER.
1/4 lb butter(115 grams)
1 cup sugar(250 ml)
6 peeled peaches
1 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup self-raising flour
Preheat oven to 350F(180C). Melt butter in cobbler dish in oven and set aside. Simmer 1 cup sugar and peaches in saucepan (not aluminium Bowser). Set aside. Mix milk, 3/4 cup sugar and flour. In cobbler dish, layer peach mixture on top of melted butter. Layer flour mixture on top. Do not stir! Bake for 30 mins.
Maybe someone could post some recipes for blackberries. I stewed some last night and had them over ice-cream. I have two bags frozen for later use.
