Pro-Tip.

Never eat a cup of blueberries as I did Saturday afternoon.

I’ve had the squirts ever since.

(I know. TMI. Sorry)

The sky used to be blue because of something about light, but now its known to be blue because it has a waxy coating.

For those who don’t know....Once a blueberry is pick it will no longer ripen. Worked on a blueberry farm in South Jersey. Elizabeth’s, and Blue Ray, are the best tasting but do not have a long shelf life.

Never last that long in my house. Still have about a gallon of frozen ones in my freezer from picking them last summer. Should last long enough to have blueberry pancakes an muffins until this years crop comes in.

I guess that could be helpful information, depending on the circumstances.
