(My cruddy photo of said herbs taking over my fridge.) The lucky duck [...] Alright kids. Daisy has given me free reign this week and I’m going to make the best of it. It’s summer and I don’t know about your grocery store, but mine has berries on sale for great prices. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, oh my. They are DELIGHTFUL.
