Berries

This may be a bit of a repeat, but the details are different.

Beth and I went berry picking on Saturday, and I realized, once again, how thankful I am for fresh Oregon berries! While the raspberries were gone for the summer, we had fun with marionberries (my first experience) and blueberries. We wandered along with our buckets, picking and eating and chatting. It's such a fun thing to do while catching up with a good girlfriend! A couple hours later, we left with 8 lbs of berries (in our buckets at least... who knows how much was in our bellies!) and countless ideas for what to do with them!

I've already made s marionberry pie filling, and I just need to take care of the crust and bake it. I made blueberry pancakes on Sunday morning, and plan on making a small batch of blueberry lime jam. There's still quite a bit left over, but I'm sure we'll have no trouble thinking of delicious ways to consume them!

If anyone's down for a visit, I'll have to take you out "picking" for whatever's in season!
