Blueberries.
As it turns out, four and a quarter pounds of blueberries is an awful lot of blueberries. I baked the pie yesterday, complete with a crumble topping and it turned out really, really well. I was pretty excited about it. But, I thought that I'd be putting pounds of blueberries into the pie and not cups. Turns out I was wrong.
So, I figured buckle was the next thing on the list. Now, I don't really need a house full of tasty baked goods. That just seems unwise. My solution? Everything else I bake with all this blueberry goodness is getting properly wrapped and tossed into the freezer to be retrieved when company arrives. (Assuming I know that it is blueberry eating company.) The next thing on the list of things to bake after the buckle? Scones.
My friend E. is a dedicated knitter and in the last three years or so, she has started spinning her own. Her theory on this is that by adding extra steps to the process you are both reducing costs and increasing the fun. I agree with her. Seeing a project all the way from fiber festival through washing, combing, spinning and dying all the way to pattern selection, knitting and the finished project. Well, that sounds like a fun to me, too.
I think this theory also applies to cooking. I've spent at least an hour this morning pouring through cookbooks and googling recipes. And, I have found, among other things, a recipe that makes 1 (weight watchers) point blueberry scones. I think I may have to try them out. (Although, I found a 2 point recipe that I like just a little bit more, so I will probably end up making those. I'll let you know, though.)
