Soliciting advice
Seriously, I am very much requesting replies here.
This summer we went strawberry and blueberry picking, and kind of went over the top. We have a TON of frozen berries, and I need suggestions for how to use them. Oh, and how exactly to do things, like make a blueberry pie using frozen berries without making soup.
For the record, I did wash all berries before freezing, and the strawberries are cut into quarters and cored (or whatever you call getting out the stem and white bit in the middle). I did NOT lay all berries out on a sheet and freeze and THEN bag - sue me. The blueberries are in 4 cup bags (yes, the amount for a pie, this was purposeful) and the strawberries are not really measured, mainly in gallon bags.
Bring it. I need some room in our freezer. It is not large, and this berry situation is a little nutty. At the same time, I plan to keep some for those long, lean months before the next berry season is upon us, but I want these recipes now so I can plan ahead.
Bring it.
Love.

Bikes and More.
Recently, we got this amazing bike trailer. Of course, because I don't have a bike I care to ride (meaning, one that fits and has not been sitting unused for more than a year in the elements) it is a really amazing stroller for the moment, but we're working on it.
I am in process of deciding what bike to get. I have my eye on a couple of lovelies: this Felt Cafe Deluxe 8, and this Electra Euro 8D. The Electra won't be available for a couple of months, which is less than fantastic, but it's niiiiice. The Felt is on it's way to a local bike shop so I can test it, and will be here in about a week. I could also build an Electra bike similar to the Euro with a more basic Electra frame that is in stock at another local shop, and throw on fenders and a rack. Or I could go with something entirely different, like a lovely Raliegh step through!
Oh decisions.
One easy decision was picking out helmets for the boys' noggins. How cute are these? One in Henry size and one in Toby size are on the way here now...
