first blackberries of the season
John Larkin
We scored a couple of cups in a lane nearby, so I made a pie. Mo calls
it "Pie Descending a Staircase."
There are tons of flowers and green berries, so it should be a good
year. We're going to need a lot of vanilla gelato.

Looks like pie crust is not in your range of expertise ;-)

My garden is full of them. Too many to be honest but the wildlife love the
cover and my neighbour likes it because it helps her bird spotting. She
says it's attracted some quite rare species in recent years. We have one
hell of a 'dawn chorus' here some days. I heard such a fascinating
birdsong abour 3 mo. ago I was seriously tempted to get my MD and record
it. It was astonishing. I just stood there for 5 -10 minutes rivetted by
it. I can think of worse worse ways of being woken up.

Maybe not - but you could put on 10 pounds just
looking at that pie. Drool! :-)

Meanwhile, my strawberries were a full three weeks late coming in and
the blackberries (the local kudzu) won't ripen until late August. But
we should be enjoying lots of cobbler by then. We had an unusually
wet and cold spring (with two feet of fresh snow in the mountains during
the first half of June).
Hey, don't diss the pie crust; that looks like a proper cobbler...

We did away with a whole home-made (by my wife) cheesecake last night.
Had 14 people over to celebrate the Fourth... Orange Beef (*),
home-made Gazpacho, and salad... topped off with the cheesecake ;-)
(*) 6 Pounds of Prime Tenderloin, poached to an internal temperature
of 120°F, cooled, 1/8" sliced, alternating layers in marinade tray,
cover with orange juice and soak over-night. Serve cold. A taste to
die for!

I have 2.5 acres of very hilly terrain, mostly woods, but there is a meadow
that is surrounded by wild raspberries that are just now really getting
ripe and wondefully sweet. I mowed most of the grass/weeds in the 1/4 acre
or so that is fairly clear (with a 32 x 64 ft fenced area for my dog), and
the ripe berries along the edges were very tasty treats that I could pluck
when I went by. The best ones seem to be too far back in the bushes to
reach easily, and are protected by their own thorns as well as poison ivy,
but I'll figure a way to get at them before the deer and the coyote (and
the birds) do. What about a piece of plastic pipe with an ID about the size
of a raspberry? Maybe I can put one end in my mouth and suck the berries
off the vine? Schlurrpp!

Out here, blackberries and poison oak are soul-mates. You'd think that
the stickers would be a high enough price to pay.
It's interesting that in a city of 800K people, and really only a few
good blackberry patches, it's not hard to find nice bunches of plump
berries. Everybody else must get theirs at Safeway.
Oh, the pie is good. 2 cups blackberries, a few left-over blueberries,
one cup sugar, juice of a small lemon, a little cinnamon and vanilla,
a few dabs of butter.
