blueberry grunt
Whenever I make blueberry grunt, I think of my brother. Mostly because when we were kids we would replace the word “grunt” with an actual grunt. It was endlessly entertaining. (For us.) (Only us.) Sweet, juicy blueberries combined with soft dumplings. If lovin’ this is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. Apparently, wild blueberries are the…

Um, I hate green beans. Seriously hate them. Always have. I hate their slightly furry exterior, I hate their taste, and I hate their long, pointy ends. Or perhaps I should say: hated. I made green beans last night. I figured that at my age I should just get over it. Stop being a hater. Because…

Sure it’s spring. But our temperatures here have been swinging by 15 to 20 degrees daily. Last weekend we had sunny beach weather. This weekend there was snow on the ground.
