It's a weird world we live in when I can convince myself that blackberry cobbler is good for me.
There's something about the simplicity of it. There's no disodium inosinate - whatever that is - among the butter and flour and sugar and berries.
And if it's cooked in vintage Corningware, I'm not worried about a light sprinkling of melted plastic.
Technically the material that makes up that pot was originally designed for rockets - but it has a sixty-year track record.
I worry so much about the future, my own and the country's. I read the front page of the newspaper as I wait for the elevator at work in the morning, and I'm nearly undone by lunch time. I have a strict No-TED-Talks Before-Bed policy.
Corningware and Cobbler. Safe and familiar.
It gives new meaning to comfort food.

I worry too...
ReplyDeletea little comfort at a time may do the trick...at least in our own little worlds.
Comfort food must be a cure - I wrote about it today also. I don't have corningware but I do use my familiar grandmother's linens and dishes.
I love the way you tied in a cobbler, vintage cookware, and your worries for the future in a tight little nice post. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes... you are in good company... I worry too...
I had no idea it was made for rockets. My mother LOVES corningware.
ReplyDeleteComfort food is always good.
Jkd : isn't it funny that something we think of as vintage now was once "revolutionary technology"? I just learned that little tid-bit the other day.
ReplyDeletemy mom had that very same corning ware when i was little - i love it! and i also worry about the future of our country & world - that's why i find it so important to take joy in the little, simple things in life... it makes my world a brighter place!
ReplyDeleteComfort food cures all:). The cobbler looks divine!
ReplyDeleteSiddathornton : my mom is the exact reason I love the cornflower corningware.
