Hi everybuggy! what's up? *shuffles feet* So, anything interesting happen today? How was dinner? *koff* You ever get a little headachy thingy going on right above your eye, like a tiny gremlin is shoving a minuscule pitchfork in there? Yeah. I've got that. Also, I'm itchy, real itchy like my hands and my fingers...so, I've been wanting to update this L&C DE thing. I really want to update, I swear, and I have stuff, it's just...I feel like I'm doing the breaststroke through jello. I poke it, I pick at it and then wander away, look to see what's up, read stuff, comment on stuff, tell myself, OOOoo! I'll read that later, and in general, fuck around.

Why? I don't know. I do know that I'd love a piece of cheesecake, maybe some blueberries on it--oh! That's right! Yesterday I made blueberry cobbler--from more or less scratch! I know! I couldn't believe it either--and it was pretty good! Yeah. Just to avoid working on my story.

Okay, going back to work now...but before I do, can anyone tell me if you can eat gooseberries without cooking them first, and does anyone know if lingonberries are cranberries or are they something different all together?

Yes, I love uncooked ripe gooseberries. However, most people don't.

Lingonberries are not cranberries -- they are smaller, have less texture, and are generally sweetened more than I like my cranberries. I have never seen them fresh in the US.

Ah, thank you, how interesting! I've had gooseberry jam and liked it very much. Just wondering whether they had to be cooked or not.
See, all kinds of interesting info to be had on LJ
