\"blueberries\"<\/a>
\n“You ought to have seen what I saw on my way
\nTo the village, through Mortenson’s pasture to-day:
\nBlueberries as big as the end of your thumb,
\nReal sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum
\nIn the cavernous pail of the first one to come!
\nAnd all ripe together, not some of them green
\nAnd some of them ripe! You ought to have seen!”
\nBlueberries by Robert Frost<\/strong><\/em>
\nOne of my favorite things about summer are fresh blueberries..all over the place..you can pick your own or find them at your farmer\u2019s market or supermarket..almost everywhere there sits that box with a beautiful purple blue hue peaking out\u00a0with\u00a0 berries overflowing on top. My not so favorite\u00a0part of \u00a0summer is traveling\u00a0 to places that do not have local blueberries available. ( I so miss the little guys).\u00a0You can only get the best, juiciest fresh blueberries in the summer..an experience not to be missed\u2026and as the days of summer dwindle down so do the number of days that these bursts of flavor will be available at their best\u2026. As summer goes on I find myself creating more ways to use them from simple salads to ice cream desserts and of course cakes and muffins. Popping a juicy berry into my mouth produces a burst of momentary euphoria..and they sometimes never make it into the recipe..
\nand wouldn\u2019t you know it…. I had an inspiration yesterday ..combine blueberries with another one of my addictions\u2026coffee..a great ending to an alfresco meal or a cooling, rejuvenating afternoon pause!
\n\"coffee<\/a>

\nPlace cinnamon, honey in a shaker. Make the espresso and pour into shaker. With a small wire whisk, whisk all ingredients together.\u00a0 Divide whipped cream into 4 ice\u00a0 cream glasses (3 ozs each) filling each glass about halfway.
\nPlace frozen blueberries in shaker with coffee mixture, cover and shake 8 times. Pour into ice cream glasses top with whipped cream,divide evenly between all 4 glasses. Garnish with cinnamon stick and shave dark chocolate.
