Today was a day that was fit for neither man nor beast... it was
pouring rain most of the time and when it wasn't it was drizzling. I
decided it was definitely a day for comfort food. I really felt like a
chocolate self-saucing pudding but we don't have any cocoa powder, so
I scratched my head a bit and then thought of using the fresh peaches
we bought on the weekend. I sliced the peaches into a baking dish,
topped them with brown sugar and a little water, and mixed up a basic
cake mix to put on top. Then I took the rest of the cake mix, added
chocolate chips and cherries leftover from Christmas (I don't bake a
lot since there's just the two of us) and I made some cupcakes...

The main course was thick-cut potato wedges baked in the nice hot oven
at the same time as the pudding, served with a quick green salad and
buttermilk ranch dressing (Publix brand, which is pretty nice) and
sour cream on the side, and a bowl of nice spicy turkey chilli. The
best part of that was that I didn't have to cook it - I put it in the
freezer a few weeks ago so I just had to reheat it.

Yummy!
