That is a fabulous story SP! I just love fresh blueberries, myself. (Has anyone seen the cookbook "True Blueberry"? (Let me go find the link real quick... I'll be right back...) Anyway, it's very similar in style to one of Ina's books- though about half the thickness/page-count... great recipes, lotsa fantastic photos- very inspiring!

Up in Alaska we enjoyed riverside and sea side grillings, bakes and such too. I worked at a lodge on a bluff overlooking the world's best-known king salmon fishing stream where every world-record king was caught every year (always around a HUNDRED lbs.!)- the Kenai River. Ate many a yummy salmon just-outta-the-water there on a rocky stretch of beach.
Also worked on two different islands- Dutch Harbor, on the island of Unalaska out on the Aleutian chain... and Admiralty Island- a 40 minute ferry ride from Juneau in South-East... enjoyed clams, crab, and halibut at seaside bonfires many a sunny summer night!
(quick-click the link below to see a portion of the island and the Silver-Mine Camp I cooked at and managed for 3+ years! The multiple red buildings are the actual camp- they're historic structures formerly a 1910-1950's salmon cannery... one of the tiny red buildings on the far right was the 2-room w/ a loft cabin Art and I resided in on premise. i9 miles up the mountain rom camp.)
Anyway, just seems like everything tastes better when you're out in the fresh air and have worked hard to catch it/pick-it or otherwise earn it, and have worked-up and big honest appetite!

OK Chub, you're lethal with the cookbook recs. I already ordered the one about the lobsters and blueberries. Now I have my eye on this blueberry one.
My Amazon addiction is raging.
My Amazon addiction is raging.
Sorry, SP! I'm an addict, too! But at least the amazingly cheap USED prices at Amazon help ease the blow. I've rarely ordered a NEW book of any kind in years. And I've never received a USED book in less than pristine, new-looking condition, UNLESS no copies were available and I went into the purchase knowing before hand that the book was old and showed signs of wear, etc.
Yeah, I love those used copies too. I actually tried selling off some books that way on Amazon, but they took such a huge cut that I ended up making literally less than 5 cents profit on each book. I guess you have to be a high-volume bookseller for it to be worthwhile.
My latest favorite purchase was David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. Yesterday I made pina colada sherbet and it's to die for.
