It is berry time here. The red raspberries have lingered, as have a few black raspberries. The blackberries are ripening, berry by berry, depending on their location and the amount of sun and rain they receive.
This weekend's rain and very warm temperatures, besides making me a bit cranky, lead me to think that this year will yield a very nice berry harvest.
Breakfasts this winter will be bright with berries, I think. I've frozen one sheet pan (on a silpat) of individual berries so far and bagged them so I won't need to defrost a whole block of berries.

Blue knows what to do with a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Tonight, Wilson is making miniature eggplant parmigiana with the first three small eggplants from the garden for dinner as well as sweet corn, ham, and pasta in a light white sauce. My contribution was to make mojitos with mint from my garden. Yes, I have it good.
Happy Sunday
Mmmm, berries.

Blue has the right idea. I really can't wait to meet him. :D Mmmm... are you going to have berries in September? Because if some go missing, I'll tell you right now, it wasn't me.

Can I come live with you? I'm a good berry picker, I can snorgle cats like a champ and I love eggplant parmigiana. The one time I made it, it failed. Too much oil. Got any tips?
P.S. I don't eat much. Except for berries and anything with cheese....
