Forget the ribs that were smoked for 5 hours. This meal highlight is all about the blackberries.
The girls both had blackberries from Mike and Ronnie Jo Scarlett’s blackberry bushes. Heidi made her usual delicious cobbler while Sophie, still in her rookie season was coached up by Ronnie Jo and made her crust from scratch. Whoa!!! 💥
Both were still warm and became soupy after adding the ice cream. (Just the way I like it. Outstanding!!!)
We also had potatoes 🥔 gifted to us from Heidi’s uncle Barry Melloncamp. Today for lunch I also had 🍑 peaches and 🍐 pears from Barry and Linda’s orchard. As well, we harvested several green peppers 🫑 from our garden that I can only hope become “Stuffed” this week.
The fresh factor of this wonderful local fair is just crazy. As a city boy growing up, I never experienced the incredible garden raised food like this. And to think it all started on August 4, 2007 when I hit the lottery. That would be the “I get to be married to Heidi lottery.”
