Eighteen pounds and counting.

Notables from this week:

• It’s berry season – we went out and picked a couple pints of blueberries and almost a gallon of ripe blackberries yesterday.  Fruit betties – slightly sweetened fruit baked with a breadcrumb topping – are not bad dessert choices.
• Long derided by the more snobbish wine drinkers, Italian Pinot Grigio, especially from the Valdadige DOC, is a great summer wine.  Somewhere between the mineral austerity of Sauvignon Blanc and the rich fruit of Chardonnay, it’s a wonderful picnic wine and does an admirable job accompanying light summer foods.
• It is possible to put together an incredible and satisfying high-end meal with considerable portions and still come in at under 800 calories.  You’ve seen part of this already with the Caprese salad.  More to come.

Link it up:

• Butler’s Orchard – Farm market, pick-your-own berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries), cherries, peas, pumpkins, and apples.  Just south of Damascus, MD.
