Make It Homemade

Just a short post today to let you know about a couple of new features on Olalliberry. First, I finally added an About page. I am not one to share a lot of details of my life on the internet, but hey there ya go.


More exciting (for me) is Make It Homemade, my ongoing goal to learn to make different foods, from angelfood cake to hollandaise sauce to pickles. I'll be crossing items off the list and probably adding more and more as time goes on.

Also, we finally got some sunshine this weekend! I celebrated by taking a lovely waterfront walk with Sweetie.

Do you have cooking goals? Anything you've always wanted to make?

Start

I finally started a blog.

But Rachel, there are already a million food blogs!

Yes, this is true. I read and enjoy many of them. My main goal is to improve my food photography skills. I also like the encouragement to keep making "weekly lunches."

OK, so what is an olalliberry?

The olalliberry (also spelled olallieberry, olallaberry, among other variations) is one of many berries that grow in Oregon. They could be thought of as some sort of superberry as they are a cross of three different varieties of blackberry, raspberry and loganberry. They are often made into jam.

Berries are plentiful right now and I am eating as many varieties as I can find.

Enjoy!
