summer blackberries

ever eat sun-ripened fresh off-the-bush berries? we walk rusty along a trail that has bushes and bushes of blackberries and a few days back i brought a handful home to try with some vanilla gelato from trader joe's and it was absolute heaven. so today when marco and i walked rusty, we brought a bowl with us to pick to our heart's content. we got almost a pound and they were steaming hot when we picked them... ahhhh this is one of the few things that i love about sweltering summers!
