Aw! Yum! And happy birthday!!!!
Awww! We always make cobbler with our peaches and your recipe is the one we use on our apples!
Happy, happy birthday and many returns of the day.
Happy Birthday, and thank you for giving us a present ;).
I'm going to have to make this now! Fruit crisps and cobblers are the best things ever.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! And may I just say (as an Editorial Assistant), your blog is just about the best thing ever. Thanks for giving the bottom of the totem pole something to cheer about.
Yummy!! And Happy Birthday!
Thanks for sharing the recipe! Rarely do I get to say that a recipe makes me laugh out loud, but this one did. Happy August birthday, and may I say amen to your lament about always missing out on class parties. I'm still bitter.
Happy happy birthday! I was craving peaches this morning, no kidding, and Dadrat's Peach Crisp looks delicious.
And as one with a birthday in the dead of winter, I was basically limited to ice-skating birthday parties and always wished I could do a summer pool party!
Looks delicious. Thanks for posting that!
Will also add my happy b-day wishes to the stack. So you're a Leo, eh? (He says, feigning surprise.)
