Straw and rasp to be exact. I tried blackberries the other day, didn't like them.
Luckily this obsession is quite a bit healthier than the Italian Sodas. (I don't want to talk about it, it'll make me want one)
I'm thinking that the reason why I'm loving berries so much right now is not only because they are delicious, but because A. they are being advertised all over my grocer ads (I guess I'm more of a sucker for advertisement than I thought) B. they are so cheap right now! and C. it's getting freakin hot here in the land of desert. Thanks for being in season, guys.
Anyway, lately I've also decided to add them to salads, thanks to our somewhat recent visit to the celestial Zupas on our last Utah trip. I can only think of one other time that I had fruit on salad (Jess and I; Jackson Hole, WY; summer of...?)
lettuce+berries=duh but tasty! You should really try it. Mine was simple and just looked like this:
Complete with 'Briannas homestyle Blush Wine Vinaigrette Dressing' (as pictured). I suggest a fruity vinaigrette of some sort, because having that with Ranch would be just weird and disgusting (not to mention putting Ranch on your salad was so elementary school).
Give it a try and I hope you like it as much as I do.
