(Before Baking)
2 Wild black raspberry pies made from about 16 cups of berries. Yum! Oh....the first one had way too much liquid and was served in a bowl with ice cream. Everyone laughed, but it's the first time for me making pies with these berries. Now if I can get them to help pick about 10 more cups, I can make jelly also. Amazing how far wild berries will supply us.

Eating Weeds
"You're feeding us weeds??!!" screamed my husband.
"Yep."
Here are photos of the milkweed flower buds after I boiled them.

Just before it went into the oven
After this went into the oven, I found out I may want to coarsely chop the buds. That will be for the next time.
