We had the pleasure of discovering two high bush blueberry bushes on the edge of our property. Really, they are over the border on our neighbor's property, but fortunately they told us to feel free to pick and enjoy the berries. (We feel lucky to have such good neighbors.) Watching Amaya choose, taste, and truly discover blueberries in the wild was exhilarating. She had recently grown tired of blueberries but today Amaya gained a new appreciation for the ingredient. She wanted to only pluck the very best specimens, leaving green ones to ripen, so as not to waste a single berry. When our bowl was full, Amaya was ready to go back to the kitchen to snack on, cook with, and share her harvest. We all need to recapture the wonder of childhood when we look at ingredients. It's pure inspiration.
