Wow! North Louisiana Blueberries at Phenomenal!
Originally uploaded by Madeline & Ryosuke
Guys, really, am I going overboard on the Louisiana talk here? We picked up these locally-grown blueberries from the farmer's market this morning and I thought we'd eat a few fresh and perhaps I'd also bake some into a cake.
Then I tasted one.
OMG! I've never tasted a blueberry with such a tender, thin skin and with such subtle sweetness. Louisiana blueberries rock!
What local foods do you guys love in your areas? H Belle, you live in the fresh, local food Mecca. Do you guys read Heidi Swanson's blog, www.101cookbooks.com? She's SanFran based and I think you would both appreciate her healthful approach to cooking and the way she uses the foods from her farmers market.

the tomatoes from our farmer's markets are rocking right now! tonight we had a salad with persimmon orange tomatoes and another multicolor roma style - blanking on the name. there is NOTHING like fresh tomatoes. i wish we had grown them again this season!
i am LOVING your pics by the way!
yumm, fresh, ripe tomatoes!
thanks for your compliment of our photos. our flickr stream is a mixture of r beau's and my photos. i'm learning a ton from him lately about photography.
thank you for the blog tip, i get all the best leads from you about good blogs. we are so much closer to the farmer's market now in our new place—can't wait to get down there on the weekend!
About blueberries, there is something very herbal about them, I have used them as a garnish on top of white fish mixed with mint and nuts. i've always wondered if they could be dried and then shaved into food like mushrooms?
