So many berries!

One of the really nice things about our house is that there is an entire row of wild raspberry bushes. Row doesn't really do it justice. The things grow everywhere and in that sense they are probably a weed, but a weed that bears really tasty, beautiful berries.

I mean look at these beauties.


So I went a little overboard picking berries today. I was just going to pick a few, but then I started picking and just couldn't stop. I picked for about an hour and ended up with 3 pounds of berries. That's right, I said 3 pounds. And I didn't even make a dent in the berries out there. I could go out tomorrow and pick another 3 pounds and the next day and the day after that too. This abundance will go on for about 3 weeks and then they're gone until next year. In the meantime, I have to figure out what to do with all of these berries.

Of course there's black raspberry cobbler. I'm going to make some jam, that should use up quite a bit. But for tonight, berries in milk. Kirch is always going on about eating a bowl of blueberries in milk, so I thought why not?

He's right! It was really tasty and simple. Thanks Kirch! And one last parting shot of the berry goodness. Can you tell I'm obsessed? If you're in the area, bring a bowl and pick to your heart's content.
