I took a pair of brown leather hiking boots to the cobbler to repair a tear in the heel. He said he could fix it with some glue and a stitch.

When I picked up the boot he had put a piece of black leather on as a patch. The repair looked like crap, but was sturdy and tastes great with ice cream.

One of my best friends was a cobbler. One of the most simple, laid back guys I ever met.

Then on July 3, 2002 he was shot in his living room. One of the worst tragedies I've ever known about.

Hot Cobbler from Dehydrated Fruit.

The following recipe won a 4th place finish in the 2003 Titanium Chef Backpacking Cooking Contest held this year in the Cumberland Gap National Park on October 11, 2003:

Put in a snack sized ziplock bag:
- 4 ounces chopped dried peaches, or 4 oz. dried sour cherries, or 3 ounces chopped dried apples with 2 tablespoons of walnut chips

Put in a second snack sized ziplock bag:
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla powder

Put in a 3rd ziplock bag:
1/4 box yellow cake mix

Bring:
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 12 inch square of aluminum foil

Rehydrate fruit by pouring 8 ounces of boiling water into the dehydrated fruit and then let it sit for 1 hour. Put rehydrated fruit in an 8 inch teflon thick aluminum skillet and stir in the sugars and spices. Sprinkle the yellow cake mix on top. Do not stir the cake mix. Cover tightly with a square of aluminum foil. Simmer over a one burner sove at its lowest setting for 15 minutes. Let it cool 5 to 10 minutes before eating. Serves four people.

If you use a campfire, place a few coals underneath at the start and refresh with a couple hot coals after about 8 minuters to just a simmer and have the heat from the fire reflect off the top to the aluminum foil. Rotate the pan once or twice during the cooking to spread the heat. After 10 to 12 minutes, remove from the fire and lift up one corner of the aluminum foil to peak. Tilt the pan. If the entire mixture slides, recover and return to the fire for three more minutes and check it again. If the mixture doesn't slide but is bubbling, and the top is browned to perfection, it is done. If at anytime you smell burning, remove from the heat as it is done and the sugars will start to caramelize too much.
