So funny, you have Kansas sensitivities! I though only Southerners had to cringe from our reputation, and the embarrassing flaunting by some of the exploiters of those stereotypes.

Of course, I mean hairy chests. I’m sure there’s a man out there named Harry Chests who has a great nighclub act or who’s a porn star or who’s a lion tamer or he operates a backhoe. He’s probably not a baker, bikini waxer, or mime.

I’d never heard of a pandowdy, but I was excited to try it! I’m curious about the pastry recipe as it has more fat (butter/shortening) than I’m used to… that said, it tasted great, was flaky, and was very easy to work with. I ended up rolling it much thinner – probably 1/4″ – to make sure I had enough to go around and to suit my taste (1/2″ seemed too thick). Unfortunately, I’m not a veteran pie maker, except for apple, and my peaches weren’t that sweet, and I didn’t add enough sugar to compensate. I still thought it was delicious! I’ll be posting pictures later tonight, so come take a look!

This is the only blog I read aloud. Some words should be savored.

We just returned from Colorado, and the ginger-peach duo flashed their flavor everywhere we went. My wife had a peach-crystallized ginger pancake (Along with a great carrot-cake pancake) at Snooze in Denver. I had peach-ginger pie in Estes, and somewhere along the way we had the same combo in an ice cream.

If this recipe is half as good as your peach-cobbler recipe, I’m in for a treat.

My first instinct is to bristle up when I hear the OZ comments, but I’m usually polite. People always think they’re witty when they throw out the OZ comments. It’s sad really. They don’t realize they lack creativity and succeed in only being trite.

We have the following Dinah Shore song on our Ipod:

Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy
Makes your eyes light up,
Your tummy say “Howdy.”
Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy
I never get enough of that wonderful stuff.

It’s a family fave, but I always think of Burt Reynolds and harry chests when I hear it. It’s weird how the mind works.

Love the ginger peach combo, and the topping looks so fancy! I love the old-timey desserts with funny names like “pandowdy” and “grunt”! I made Rainier cherry tarts for Week 2 of Summer Fest! http://realfoodmadeeasy.ca/blog/?p=569

Oh my goodness! I am in love with this.

I must admit I am also highly intimidated by the looks of it, and the ability you seem to have manipulating the dough. Even reading it I got a little apprehensive. I will have to work up to your expertise… I’m just making my first trifle. heh…..

However, while I am sitting in my window seat tonight, sipping my peach drink and catching up with my boyfriend… I’ll be dreaming of this decadent dessert!

Thanks for sharing!

Here is my contribution to the Summer Fest… Yep… the Trifle

Good luck on the Summer Fest.
