Oh dear, Casey,
I'm sorry you're having a Bad Baking Day. I know how you feel; I've had my share!
Do you like banana bread? Our own Shanna has THE BEST recipe. I make this all the time for hubby and me. Hubby LOVES it; he'll fix it for himself when I'm still in bed. We slice it and toast it and put Soy Garden on it for breakfast every morning. It's FABULOUS: Shanna' Incredible Banana Bread
Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cake? I bet you used fresh wild Maine blueberries, didn't you? OMG! That's my favoritest food in the whole wide world.
Casey, when I was a little girl, at my daddy's home on Lake Kezar in Lovell, Maine, early in the morning I'd grab a pail and jump in my little rowboat (her name was "Dagmar") and row out to Blueberry Island. I'd pick an entire bucket full of fresh wild blueberries and row back to the cottage. But I'd eat half before I got back! Oh, Girlfriend, they are THE BEST!
When we moved up here to Washington State, I thought maybe I could grow them. WRONG! I finally called Maine Department of Agriculture and asked them how I could do it, but they said it's impossible; it's been tried before by several colleges in Maine, and they literally have to be wild -- seeded and grown on their own, by themselves. They like only a particular kind of soil too. How discouraging.
Out here I have to settle for Washington blueberries; they're not even CLOSE. They're big and meaty, not tiny and sweet and MARVELOUS like you guys have back there.
........ Sigh ........
