Walk after dinner
Aug. 9th, 2013 09:26 pmI've taken to walking along the tow path and back through the fields after dinner, while it's still light enough. Did it three times this week.
The blackberries are coming in, the first ones at the tip of each branch. There are universal truths to blackberries; compact, pretty ones don't taste as nice as the sloppy, uneven ones. The nettles hate you. The juiciest ones are the hardest to reach (the thumb stick helps). Don't eat ones by the road side, no matter how tempting they look. Ditto those at dog/man pee level.
It's going to be a bumper year, I have one 75cl of blackberry whisky on the go, may buy some other spirit tomorrow to make blackberry gin or vodka (pour your spirit into a bigger bottle, I use a water bottle, push fruit of your choice through the neck of the bottle, shake every few days, leave until xmas, decant back into the original bottle, eat the alcoholic fruit - it makes excellent crumble).
In other news, Hoegaarden Rosé is very nommy.
