Peaches and Biscuits...drooling.

Dinner is a little unconventional tonight.  As much as I don't love to cook...this recipe is worth making a mess in the kitchen.  Wes is working and I am tired of boring one-person dinners.
It's so delicious.  My stomach is ACHING right now waiting for the timer to go off.

Necessities:
A large skillet
1 large can of peaches (or 2 smaller ones)
1 cup of Sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 can of large biscuits (the flakier the better)

Drain 1/2 of the peach juice into a small bowl or medium sized measuring cup.  Add 3/4 cup of sugar.
Discard the rest of the peach juice.
Empty peaches into a large skillet.
Pour juice/sugar mixture on top.
Bring to a boil
Place biscuits on top of peaches and mixture
Combine 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon
Sprinkle mixture on top of biscuits.
Cover and set to low for 20-22 minutes.

Thank you Princess House for making my dinner so delightful.

TWC...the ultimate cookie cutter perception.

I am part of a club I never thought I would belong to.
In fact, I distinctly remember telling my mom about 7 years ago that I would "never" do it.
She laughed and wisely told me "never say 'never'".

I am part of the Trinity Wives Club.  Well...this is a semi-fictitious club....semi.  (The real group actually has a different name and I in no way want to put this group of hard-working women down.  I'm just poking fun at the stereotypes that I am sure they roll their eyes at themselves.)

I am part of it whether I like it or not.
Late night paper writing, pinching pennies, planning social gatherings around big projects and finals, and not being able to plan a concrete future because who knows what will happen after graduation.  But the "cookie cutter" part of this TWC is something I do not fit into.  Don't ever ask me to bake...seriously, like, I get offended if you ask me to bake...(are you asking me because I'm a woman?!).  I hate doing dishes.  I really don't find cooking much fun.  When we invite people over it's Wes who does the cooking.  You'll never catch me with piano books and a long skirt (this joke is only funny if you went to TIU).  I do not have ambitions to lead a children's choir.  And if someone says something negative about my husband...let's just say they'll be on my "list".

I'm aware of my positive qualities that will aid Wes in his/our future ministry together but I just chuckle to myself about all the stereotypes I don't fit into.  I'm okay with that.  Obviously God is too.

 But in all seriousness, don't ever ask me to bake.
