Smashed mint leaves, lime juice and simple syrup, ready to be added to the soda water and white rum for yuuuummmmy Mojitos.
A 10lb flat of raspberries from Kraus Berry Farms. On Saturday we visited a bunch of places including Kraus, and Neufeld farms. I highly recommend both!
I froze all but 2 small containers of the raspberries, so we'll have them for the fall and winter! I think Raspberries are my favorite berry. Unfortunately, they were out of strawberries, but we'll go back once blueberry season starts and get a flat of those to freeze as well. We also found this beautiful, delicious spectacle at Kraus: 
I just had to bring it home. It is possibly one of the best-tasting things I've ever had. I may just have to go back and buy another one. Or two. Or...well, maybe I shouldn't go back.

raspberries are my absolute favourite berry, with blackberries coming in a close second.
I forgot that that's what mojito's were.
I worked at Krause for four years in the bakery, making those pies, as well as double crust pies, shortcakes, jams, syrups, pizzas, etc. Did you know that?
I can't tell you how much I miss the fresh berries. Here they are all tiny and from California. Blech.
I would also like to add that that pie is too small. The berries should be at least 5 inches high on top of the custard. In a month or so, you'll be able to get a four-berry pie if you'd like, but I'd demand higher.
I saw the pie and thought of Biss.
Berries are so great to freeze - you pull out a tiny bit of summer on a dreary west coast winter day.
