“You ain't gettin' no cobbler Mr. Hearst . . . 'till I get my hands on those boots"
Please enjoy this simple peach cobbler recipe inspired by the fantastically written, criminally underrated, and cut-way-too-short HBO Show Deadwood. I will hold my antlers high in the sky hoping to bring to reality the swirling rumors of a movie finally happening. Long live 'Swegen' as one of the best characters ever created for TV! In addition to Aunt Lou's recipe enjoy this clip with show creator David Milch – it's long but worth it, the man's a genius.
