The blackberries are still growing along my road and after two batches of jam and one blackberry and peach tart, I was looking for something easier to do with the quart of berries my cousin and I picked yesterday. A quick search over at Epicurious yielded this delightful recipe for a Blackberry Slump, which is basically cooked berries with a slab of cake on top. Not the neatest or fanciest dessert but it was easy and tasty. Later we were discussing the other slumps one could make and agreed that an apple and cranberry slump, with cinnamon added to the batter, could be a delightful fall dessert. I'm adding slumps to my repertoire of homey yummy goodness to make.

My mother swears by frozen fish. I was unconvinced, and decided to put her statements to the test: could flash-frozen fish taste as good as fresh local fish from the Greenmarket or even fresh fish from a local supermarket?
