My blues came from the supermarket and last night I made a batch of jam
with blueberries, strawberries, a few bing cherries, and a ripe banana.
And some Triple Sec and Southern Comfort. I'm still working on what to
call it. I'll be in Vermont on the weekend and have been told it might
be blueberry time there. Mostly, I don't care for blueberries, but if
you get some booze with them they're ok.
