What some will do for fruit..

Some of our CSA members are taking their love of berries to new levels.  One member reports totaling her car after picking up her berries last week.  She escaped unharmed, but not before crawling into the back seat of her crumpled car to rescue her berries.  On the darker side, we did have a member take an extra half pint of berries.  Recently retired from a distinguished career, a community volunteer, and a huge weeding help on the farm- yet when berries were involved something switched, something sinister and unexpected.  

Okay, she did bring the berries back (maybe a few were missing?).  

We love the berries too.  So much that I did actually bake on this hot day –  oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with black currants.  I highly recommend pairing chocolate and currants.  For the serious bakers – the gooseberry pie and the currant pie are fantastic!  John is up for a slice of each every day left on the side porch (hint, hint).

One other fruit suggestion – black raspberry or red currant vinaigrette.
