"brown betty"

i have been making all kinds of old fashioned desserts lately, they seem to be loved in my house!
who does not love fruit, butter and sugar....
a few days ago a double-crusted cherry crisp got gobbled up in a jiffy. this morning i could not just cut rhubarb in the back yard, i had to bake vanilla short bread and use almost all up in a rhubarb and strawberry brown-betty.
i saved a few short bread cookies to pack for elias lunch tomorrow, as he is getting more and more hungry it seems like. i don't blame him, being on the sea all morning in a J-22 would make any boy or girl hungry.

i didn't bake yesterday, that's why the neighbors boys and naomi had to be happy with a bowl of popcorn. and of course it tasted a whole lot better under the table!!!
