Blueberries

Blueberry bushes are full of blueberries.

Tomato plants are full of little green tomatoes.

The blueberries are lovely.

I hope to be eating the tomatoes soon. . . . .

Today's word of the day: Scorpacciata

From CNN.com's Eatocracy: Scorpacciata

Scorpacciata is a term that means consuming large amounts of a particular local ingredient while it's in season. It's a good way to eat.

And miles to go . . .

So I've been trying to focus mainly on food, but I wanna scream to the world that I swam a mile this morning!

It wasn't all freestyle - kept switching to different strokes. But it was a mile!

Latest dinner menu:
Chicken in sage browned butter on top of a spring mix salad with berries (raspberries, blackberries and - my favorite - blueberries! Which reminds me: I need to go check how the blueberry bushes are doing, see if there are any ripe berries.)
