We will continue to be without internet until friday because the service person needed access to some kind of internet closet on the property that maintenance will have to open. Jade is Very Mad.

I've decided to use this week as an opportunity to get things done. My goals are: clean my room, use up some things in the freezer. I have a lot of blueberries so I want to use up one gallon of blueberries. I currently have three, all from last year. I'm going to start with muffins i think and then maybe scones that I can freeze. I'm not super fond of fruit pies but maybe combined with something or as a turnover idek. Any ideas?

Maple-blueberry sausage! Highly traditional (meat with fruit is a Medieval European thing) and I think you've got a fair bit of ground venison around?

If the first batch works, you can always use it as meat pie filling.

Oooooooh. I will definitely have to try this. I've got a lot of ground venison around haha, and enough pork/fat that I could make it nice. Thanks for the idea!

Sympathies, as someone who's also dealing with internet problems. The tech today replaced all the lines from the box to my condo, so hopefully that's the end of it...

Fingers crossed your internet is fixed! Jade only has a half gig of data left on her tablet, which has been providing internet to her computer so she's not happy at all. She's going to be Peak White Lady to the internet company soon and demand a discount on our internet.

oh man. i put frozen blueberries in my yogurt every single workday, and i go through a gallon every couple of weeks that way, so that sounds like indescribable luxury.
(I currently do have a quart bag full I harvested myself, though, which is an extra bit of loveliness.)

oh i saw your corn flour grinding on Stories, too, how cool!

hmm my very favorite thing in the world is blueberry pie and i never get any so i am at a total loss as to how to recommend anything else. i thought i'd come up with something when i opened this window but now i'm kind of in a fugue state dreaming of blueberry pie. (i cannot BELIEVE i was not able to con any of my family into making me a blueberry pie this year when they were in season. sigh.)

i would probably die if i had no internet for a week. like, i mean, phones help, but. oh gosh i would probably die. i don't blame jade one bit.

Well, if you ever want a gallon of blueberries, I have some. I've tried the frozen blueberries in yogurt and for some reason it is just the weirdest texture and too cold.

I could do blueberry corn something...... hmmmmm. I could also make you all a blueberry pie and use up a lot at once. When are you in town again? Next week?

Also, I saw the market is doing wednesdays! I don't know how much effort and annoyance that must be for Z but I'm super stoked!

Alas, I am not back until the 15th I think, I'm covering a co-worker's vacation. It's a pain in my patoot, I have all this stuff to do at the farm-- my flax is all in the greenhouse and needs rippling, the Japanese indigo is probably blooming and I should process it, and there's all this stuff I need to work on and I'm stuck here. Boohoo!

I don't know which vendors are going on Wednesdays. We're not, Wednesdays are pickup day so there's nobody who can be spared, but some vendors are-- I think it was a way for them to let in some new vendors too, there's been some bad feelings over not being able to allow in some great candidates.

Well, I may experiment this week, I remembered I have a roll of gluten free phyllo dough, so I might give some kind of blueberry pastry a try. And maybe I'll make some pie when you get it. It's just. So many blueberries (sidenote, I like to call blueberries bloobs, it sounds funny)

I'm going to check out the market tomorrow :) if it's happening already

Ha, you don't have to actually make me a pie. I was just being put-out by how much of my mother's attention is taken up with the whims of grandchildren instead of the whims of me, anymore. (Though, the oldest boy has taught himself to bake pies because he likes pies so much, which I'm rather impressed by-- he's 11 and does a creditable pie crust from scratch.)

We always call blueberries bloobs and in fact the frozen quart bags we put away into the freezer (and have probably mostly already used, by now, as well) are all labeled "BLOOB". And the strawberries are labeled "STRAWB", because my sister thinks that's funny.

The market is happening tomorrow, they posted a list of vendors! It's not super many but I think it's already some new ones, so that's interesting.

Got some fruit at the market! Not busy but who knows what will change.

I mean, I have three gallons of blueberries and the urge to do something.... but I'll see how much I can get through in the next week or two. My little chest freezer is so full of things, I need to use stuff up somehow....
