Gourmet Cuisine with Meryl Ann

LA COUNTY, CA. July 4th, 2008.

After writing and posting an article about Jefferson, I set about to make myself a solitary celebration of Impeach Cobbler. I was inspired last year by Swami Beyondananda’s recipe for “Impeach Pie,” which looked delicious, but, sheesh, a pie crust? Who has that kind of time? So here’s my easy recipe. It took me 7 minutes, and that includes inventing the recipe, and throwing the dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

What you need:

A couple cups of oats (not that instant crap, unless you have no other choice. Can I say "crap"?)
Frozen, concentrated, apple or white grape juice. (Optional)
Walnuts, almonds, pecans, other nuts and/or sunflower seeds (Optional)
Cinnamon (Optional. Come to think of it, most of these ingredients are optional.)
Salt
Honey or maple syrup
Butter or oil

 

First I cut up the peaches, into eight wedges, each. You really can’t get away with making them any bigger, and it takes too long to cut them any smaller. So I cut eight.

As I cut them, I toss them into a Corningware casserole dish (whichever one is clean at the moment, I’m not picky. You can grease it first, if you want to.) I don’t peel the skins off, geez, who has time for that? Gone are my days of whipping up six-course gourmet meals for casts of thousands, I just want something yummy to eat while I type.

If there are any peaches in the freezer, I throw them in too. (That’s where the peaches that disappoint me get incarcerated until future use.)

Then I throw a dollop of the frozen juice on top of the peaches, maybe a couple of tablespoons. Heaping. Just follow your heart, it will tell you how much to add.

OK, now, here is the real “cooking” part—you will need an actual mixing bowl:

Put the oats in the bowl. Throw in a couple of handfuls of nuts and/or sunflower seeds, a few shakes of cinnamon (if you like cinnamon) and a few shakes of salt.

Dump about 1/4 cup of melted butter or oil, and about 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup in, and stir the hell out of it. (Can I say "hell"?). If it seems too liquid-y, add more oats. And you can add more or less of the oil/butter and/or honey, to taste. Clearly, you don’t need to measure. I don’t even know where my measuring cups are, anymore. Probably in storage in another state.

Throw that mixture on top of the peaches. You can smooth it out with the back of a spoon, if you really want to.

Meryl Ann Butler is an artist, author and educator who counts First Lady Dolley Payne Todd Madison as well as two signers of the Articles of Confederation among her ancestors. Mary Ball, mother of George Washington is in the ancestral lineage of Butler's great grandmother, Blanche Ball. Grateful to know that the blood of America's founding mothers and fathers runs in her veins, Butler has been newly filled with matriotism as a direct result of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. Lest she appear too uppity, it should be revealed that she also has family ties to James Butler Hickok, better known as Wild Bill. Butler has been actively engaged in utilizing the arts as stepping-stones toward joy-filled enlightenment for the past two decades. A native of NYC, her response to 9-11 was to pen an invitation to healing through creativity, entitled, "90-Minute Quilts: 15+ Projects You Can Stitch in an Afternoon" (Krause 2006). They don't call quilts "comforters" for nothing! www.90minutequilts.com Butler was faculty advisor for "The Love for All Mankind/Anti-Apartheid Quilt" project at ENMU (1993), now in the collection of the Hon. Nelson Mandela. As Arts Advisor for the Center for Improving U.S.- Soviet Relations (CIUSSR) Baltimore, MD; her activities included the "First U.S.-Soviet Childrens' Peace Quilt Exchange" (1987-88), an historic project chronicled in the media of both countries. Citizen diplomacy trips to the U.S.S.R. in 1987 and 1988 included lectures and presentations to fashion designers, craftspeople and artists in Odessa, Moscow, Kiev and St.Petersburg, in which she focused on the topic of creating global peace through international art exchanges. Butler is the proud mother of a daughter and seven stepchildren (all grown), and a passel o' grand younguns. It is to these new generations that she dedicates her political activism.

And, David,  the answer to the riddle, "Where do impeaches grow" is:

IN CONGRESS! via nurturing by eager citizens who contact their representatives!
