Feast Your Eyes: Blueberry apricot crumble

Earlier this week, I looked up harvest dates at my favorite u-pick farm in New Jersey, to make sure that I won't miss blueberry season. Last summer, I nearly missed it, and when I finally did get out into the field, it was slim pickings. One of the things I love about picking summer fruit is that it gives you the opportunity to have enough to freeze for the winter and make a batch or two of jam.

In today's featured photo, Lelonopo uses her frozen summer berries in February, to brighten the winter doldrums with a Blueberry Apricot Crumble. Delicious!

Rising food prices impact everyone, not just the nuclear family

A couple of weeks ago, in my round-up of the Oregonian's FoodDay section, I linked to a story they ran about a budget eating challenge. In it, they asked four Portland-area families to reduce the amount of money they spent on food a week (without making mealtime a joyless experience) and document the experience.

At the time the story ran, I didn't think too much of the families that they chose to participate in the project, but soon after, it was pointed out to me by blogger and Slashfood reader Lelonopo (via twitter) that the Oregonian had only selected families that were white, straight and had children. As a lesbian woman without children, their selection made her feel invisible. Her comment got me thinking about how many different populations FoodDay had ignored when they selected their participants (and everyone has to eat, which would have made diversity in the pool an interesting and valuable thing).

She took her frustration and channeled it in a useful direction, penning a letter to the Oregonian (last one, on page two of the article) that was published today in an article that gathered an assortment of feedback about the article.

What do the rest of you think about the FoodDay's choice to only include white, hetersexual families with children? Who would you have liked to have seen?

In addition the crispness of this image, I love the concept behind this picture. Lelonopo titled this pic spring asparagus: cooking clean and here's her recipe:

Buy asparagus now. In spring. Preheat oven to 450. Wash asparagus well, trim, and lay in single layer in making dish. Squeeze one meyer lemon over asparagus. Season with salt and pepper, and bake in oven for 15-20 minutes. Done.

Read the complete blog post and bask in the perfection of her roasted asparagus.
