I spent most of my life being a raspberry hater. Then last year my taste buds did a 180 and I ate ALL the raspberries! Who knows what changed. All I know is that I went from gagging at the mere thought of their fuzziness to shoveling them into my mouth like one would in a raspberry-eating contest. With my pinkie up like a proper lady, of course.
My favorite way to eat them is fresh and naked. The raspberries, not me. I'm usually wearing some sort of pant when I eat them. Four bucks for a tiny thing of raspberries is a bit much, so whenever I see them on sale at 10 for $10 - get out of my way I'm going to buy all the raspberries! One of our local grocery stores had 10 packs for $10 last week and I thought I'd use some of my fruity loot to bake some scones. They are crispy on the outside and they have a tender crumb. They're sweet enough, but not very sweet. I liked the scones and ate too many, but I think my favorite way to eat them will always be fresh and naked. Mr. Wing-It, who is not a raspberry fan, actually liked these because the berries are soft and gooey and they lose their fuzziness in the oven. Whaddayaknow!

If you subscribe to my Facebook page you may have already seen the following photo. It's the first batch of baby dumplings of the season! It's amazing how something so cute can be the result of such a horrible mating ritual. Have you ever witnessed ducks mating? If you haven't, you're lucky. Several males often gang up on one single female (or sometimes an injured male!) and it is too much like the brutal prison shower scene from American History X. It's traumatizing!
This seems like a good time to give you a relevant tip: never Google "duck penis". Just don't do it, man. Keep enjoying that blissful ignorance that I lost when curiosity got the best of me and made me look it up. Disturbing! My eyes! My eyes! What has been seen cannot be unseen! Purge my memory of this horrid sight! What? You weren't thinking about googling "duck penis"? You are now! Mwahahaha! But don't.
But anyway, baby dumplings!
