my little dumpling

blackberries in the pot
just have to love this time of year with the garden bursting out it's seams and the blackberries hanging ripe on the bushes! We are gathering blackberries today to make jam for my step-daughter Caty to take back to Vancouver, and for dinner tonight this great dumpling recipe from the "Gluten-free Gourmet" ... that is an amazing cookbook!

  1. I have been so busy I haven't been able to pick any berries this year. I hope some are still good enough for this week. - Margy

  2. Oh! I hope so. Now the rain today makes me worried about the berry picking possibilities for wine-making. What a fabulous free food to have in our community!
