Sounds like a wonderful trip and I hope you have a great time. I get sick of being tethered to my phone and often "forget" to take it with me. No internet's another story. :D It doesn't get much better than wild berries and cream. I do make <a href="http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/05/07/muffins-and-silicone/" rel="nofollow">these muffins</a> with wild blueberries and they really are, as their name implies, to die for. They're good with any bluies, but the wild ones take them to a new level. I have one recipe's worth of dry ingredients in a zippy bag in the fridge so I can make them quickly. The silicone muffin cups in that post are already priced and in one of the moving sale boxes. Come back to us safe and sound! Hi, Tess! Sounds like a wonderful trip and I hope you have a great time.

[step-father-in-law?] Labor Day is late this year, so we may get some of the wild blueberries that grow on the end of the road up there!?? Likely we will eat them with milk or cream. No internet up there. No cell phones. Hmm. I think they have heard of the printing press? or pizza. or pasties. best wishes~tess .-= Tess´s last blog ..<a href="http://1tess.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/kamishibai-and-milk-senbei/" rel="nofollow">Kamishibai and MILK Senbei?</a> =-.

I needed to use up my Splenda before the move, so that was why I opted for it this time. Spenda sells a blend of sugar & sucralose. I wonder if they finally agreed with every food writer who said, No, baking with Spenda is not the same as baking with sugar. It would have to be dissolved in hot water, then the water would have to be chilled. Too fussy for me for this particular recipe. BTW, those EMK portraits are lovely. I think I prefer the one in the permanent collection to the Warhol. Thanks for the link! Hi, Caroline – a blend would be fine.

Blueberries are my favorite summer fruit - I've been eating cobblers since June. How about using a blend of Splenda and sugar? A small amount of sugar might help with the structure and texture of final product. I wonder if it would help to dissolve the Splenda in the water before combining to get rid of the graininess? .-= Caroline´s last blog ..<a href="http://sumigirl.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/facebook-versus-blogging/" rel="nofollow">Facebook versus blogging</a> =-.
