    This looks so delicious. Wish the variety of mixed berries were available here.

    I guess were lucky in California…buying fresh berries is just a matter of going to the nearby supermarket. But actually, I bought these berries at a farmer’s market close to work. Pretty cheap at 4 baskets for 14 dollars.
