I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

olallieberries

There's a place in Pescadero (Duarte's Tavern) that has the best olallieberry pie. So delicious.

I miss the Bay Area.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The olallieberry (pronounced oh-la-leh, sometimes spelled ollalieberry, olallaberry, olalliberry, ollalaberry or ollaliberry) is a cross between the loganberry and the youngberry, each of which is itself a cross between blackberry and another berry (raspberry and dewberry, respectively).

THIS IS A PERVERSION OF FRUIT.

...Mendel would be so proud.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Like, pick from a bacon tree?

A crispy hot bacon tree. I'd give up the Francophone priest scenario from yesterday for this.

Because books.

A warm bread tree might be first choice for me. Although cheese is also tempting.

Less so when I think about picking it off a tree, but still.

Okay, in my fantasy world the priest with the thigh holster is delivering it to me, but I don't want to appear choosy.

Man...I saw the Wire signal, but missed my chance being all scrupulous...Sheeit. It took me about four episodes before I wanted to watch more, but it didn't really*have* me until "I got the gun...you got the briefcase." Now I would watch David Simon bitch out the cable man. And probably cry at the end. We got it like that. (My fondest broadcasting wish= David Simon on "Countdown" Ego Shortage on Eastern Seaboard, Boehner, GOP, Blame Obama)

Our wings are not tired.

My Dad grew strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, and we had black raspberries growing wild. I only realize now how spoiled I was. No blackberries though.

megan, you need to come on one of the Wigglebutts walks with me anytime from mid-July to September. Blackberries GALORE. Last year I made a pie or cobbler nearly every week.

And gained 15 pounds.

The Queen ain't no bitch, though. The Queen have moves.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

rumor has it that in containers I might be able to grow berries in Texas. I would be very happy!

We are going berry picking on Saturday up here though and I do believe cobbler will be made.
