Ode to the blueberry & food log

It's funny to me that I used to think I hated blueberries.
I hated all things blueberry. A few weeks ago, I did the unthinkable, and bought a pint of blueberries. I wouldn't tell Pookie this, but I wasn't sure IF I would be able to eat them. I knew they were good for me, and I really wanted to eat better. I hate wasting food, and Boo hates wasting money. Lucky for me I found it heavenly! I don't know why it never occurred to me to try them fresh.

Growing up, my family's budget was pretty tight. Lots of mouths to feed and bills to pay. We didn't get much fresh fruit, and when we did it was watermelon. Well, that's the only fresh fruit I can remember us having, and that wasn't that often!

I really wish someone had told me how wonderful the delicate flavor of a fresh blueberry is. I think I even prefer it to snacking on strawberries!
