Blackberry Cobbler

I made a genuine blackberry cobbler for dessert today.  The recipe was courtesy of Ree Drummond, a.k.a. "The Pioneer Woman."  I ended up using the zest and juice of one whole lemon versus only what the recipe called for.  I mean, what was I going to do with the rest of the zest and juice if I didn't put it in the cobbler?  I thought it may be too lemony or tart, but it was a hit.  The only thing I might change is actually putting some sugar in the dough, instead of just sprinkling it on top.

The evening has been successful so far, including Yoga X and dog bathing.  Yoga X is something I have learned to appreciate over the course of my experience with P90X last summer and this summer.  It takes focus and patience.  Over and over, I hear people say that they've tried P90X, but they started with yoga and stopped before it was over.  Let me say, that's not the whole P90X picture.  That is why it's scheduled for "day 4" and not "day 1."  Also, I've found it easier since doing Jillian Michael's "Yoga Meltdown." 

We bathed 3 out of 4 dogs in my tub.  (If you are wondering WHY we only bathed 3, you have not met Alex...I personally do not want to die bathing a dog.)  My brother is a real trooper, getting in the tub with whichever dog we're bathing at the time.  I'm thankful we have a detachable shower head thingy that comes down, and a drain snake to get all the hair out (I will spare you that picture).  Needless to say, I better go start cleaning the tub!
