Writer's Block: Leave Room

People who know me are probably expecting me to say something about dark chocolate here. However, while chocolate is certainly an essential food group, I have been to two farmers markets this week and have been reminded that the hot summer months do bring some good things with them: fresh blackberries! Fresh blueberries too! I have a plate of berries beside me now and am grateful for them. They're not going to last till the next farmers market, though.

Also bought from (relatively) local growers this week: eggplant, purple pepper, red Swiss chard. Anthocyanins For The Win!

But how do you feel about, oh, say, blackberry ice cream pie or cheesecake with blackberry sauce?

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

They were quite tasty, thank you. :-)

I know! Am all out of berries and there's no farmers market on Mondays. How will I survive till tomorrow?

This changes with my mood, but today it's my cousin Mary Ellen's rhubarb crumble.

Mmm... rhubarb. Been too long since I've had anything with rhubarb in it.
