We went to a local farm this morning (not quite around the corner, but as far as I'm concerned, very worth it for better fruit and vegetables [since my attempts at growing my own failed], plus I like to support family farms.) Two of the in-season fruits are blackberries and blueberries. I started eating them out of the carton in the car, and it took lots of willpower not to finish them on the way home.

I didn't quite eat them all, though, so after dinner (buffalo burgers, grilled corn, and a fresh tomato-cucumber salad) we had berry shortcake:
