On Saturday I went to little Walmart to do my pre-sabbath shopping. I saw some wonderful looking blueberries for $2.49 for a pint. I thought of how much Bob likes blueberries and how we like to put fresh berries on top of sugar-free vanilla pudding as a guilt-free pleasure. I bought the berries and put them in my big fruit bowl that I keep on the kitchen island. They sat there safe and secure all day yesterday but this morning I guess Bob could not resist anymore so he popped the container open and ate a few for breakfast. Because they were open, I decided that I too should try a sample. By 5:00 PM all of the blueberries were gone! I am not quite sure what happened to them. I could swear that I only had a few each time I passed the island. They were so good. They were very sweet and had the full blueberry flavor with out that too-tart flavor you can get sometime. It was kind of like God had come up with the perfect little treat and they aren't even fattening! I had to go back to little Walmart and buy a new container so that we could top off the tapioca I had made for dessert. Bob noticed the new container and Bob and Joe tried to prevent me from eating anymore because they claimed I had already eaten more than my share. I just had to tell them how high blueberries are in antioxidants and that I was just trying to do my part to prevent cancer. Bob hid the blueberries, much like I have to hide candy from Joe.
I also have self-control issues when it comes to fresh peaches from my trees, fresh apricots from Deanna's trees, fresh citrus from Chris's trees, and fresh cherries from any tree.

I eat blueberries every day on my cereal. I justify the cost of them because they are so good for you!
You should go to little Wal-mart and buy a pint just for yourself. Eat them all and then show the empty carton to Joe and dad. They will be jealous and not be able to hide them from you!
I remember the time when we had little self control on some cherries. It was hard for everyone to believe how two teenage girls could eat almost a whole case of cherries in one day.
My motto: Eat as many cherries as you can and suffer the consequences later--cherries are worth it. I would say that frustrating Bob and Joe is worth it.
Zoe and I can easily eat a pint of blueberries a day too. Mike doesn't really like them...too bad for him.
