Will be interested to see if I can do better next week.

I'm lucky to be of the last generation that sees fresh blueberries in February and goes, what the hell? You can't eat fresh blueberries in February!Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087069977867729538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094134305816735755.post-55146523918837456002011-02-02T00:30:26.313-06:002011-02-02T00:30:26.313-06:00I'm rather proud to have walked away from some...I'm rather proud to have walked away from some sale blueberries I almost mindlessly purchased today so thank you! I'm struggling but I hope to get through the month o.k.<br /><br />I'm going to definitely give those muffins a try!
