Not even the really good local ones yet, that will take some time still, but I picked up some from Georgia at the store and they are pretty damn good. So far just eaten with yogurt, and well appreciated. But I will have to start the plans for the more sophistimacated stuff soon. Summer is here. ---

Blueberries are just about my favorite fruit. The farmers’ market promised the first local batch coming this week. I just noticed I’m almost out of blueberry vinegar and it’s time to make more. ---

My favorite way of eating blueberries is just to eat them, plain, right out of the container. Wish the good ones were available all year. ---

Picked my first raspberries of the season last Friday and have been enjoying them on yogurt and ice cream ever since. Looking forward to the rest of berry season, too! ---

I picked a lot of raspberries, but then the critters found them. ☹ I adore blueberries. My favorite way to eat them is to fill a cereal bowl with them, add some whole milk (or maybe beef it up with a splash of half&half) and eat the berries and cream with a spoon. I like blueberry pie, too. ---

That doesn’t keep the squirrels from eating the berries, nor the chipmunks, nor the birds. ☹ ---

We have three different cultivars. One has been giving us ripe berries for a week or two. The other two cultivars will be ready in another week. We bag and freeze blueberries then use them for waffles and smoothies, usually lasting until the next year’s harvest. ---

One of my wife’s “go-to” bakes is blueberry cobbler. Yum! We had an especially tasty one last Sat, and then saw in the Sunday paper that Michigan is having a bumper crop. ---

My granddaughter loves blueberries! They’re the perfect size for her 1-y/o fingers. I like them in cobbler and muffins. When I was a kid, my grandmother used to buy an amazing blueberry cake from a local bakery (long out of business now.) From research, I found out it’s a sweet yeast-based dough. I need to figure out how to make it. ---

Been making killer blueberry pancakes of late. Also, as strawberries phase out, we’re getting loganberries and tayberries.
