Peach Rhubarb Cobbler

I know that on Monday I went on and on about how good peaches are and how amazing a fresh tomato can be.  I know that that was all information you already knew and you definitely didn't need to be told again.  I also, know that not everyone is swooning over peaches like I am right now.  But actually that last one, I don't get.  Why aren't you swooning?

Are you not into salads?  Is that it?

How about desserts?  How about fresh fruit with a sweet doughy cake over the top?  Maybe if it was served warm with vanilla ice cream melting over the top?  Yeah, I thought that would do the trick.
