Those blueberries were so good I went out and picked a bunch
more! I went in the evening, after supper, and went across the street again. I
walked a lot further this time, and really got down on the ground to get to the
plants, which are only about six inches tall. Luckily it’s all sand in between,
so it was dry and not too dirty. I was careful to sit or kneel around the
edges, trying not to land on any berries! I brought a quart yogurt container
with me and picked it just about half full. I walked a little further, picking
here and there where there was a heavier bush, but there were still a lot more
that weren’t ripe.
So with a whole pint of fresh blueberries, I felt I needed
to make something. To bake something. I thought of a couple of
possibilities, but ended up going with my first impulse, which was blueberry
muffins – following the original Betty Crocker recipe! They turned out great –
I left out four of them for my housemates to share, and kept the rest.
Hopefully I can make them last at least a couple of days…
The best part is, I still have almost a cup of fresh berries
left! I’ll put some in my cereal tomorrow morning.
