Summer Yum

On Friday I picked two and a half pounds of blueberries in the back yard! It took more than an hour. If you've ever wondered why blueberries are so pricey, I can tell you. You have to pick them one by one by hand. They grow in clumps but only one or two ripen at a time so, unless you want to lose half your harvest, you have to be very careful when picking them.
I think the cold winter agreed with the blueberry bushes. I've never seen this many berries.


My favorite summer salsa. The simplest thing on earth to make.

Corn&Bean Salsa
1 can sweet corn kernels, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
5 or 6 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
juice of one lime
salt and pepper

Mix together and enjoy. This goes especially well with Tostito's Hint of Lime tortilla chips.
