That's a rather odd coincidence. Today at the grocery I bought gooseberries and red currants. First time ever for gooseberries, first time in 20

years for currants.

I come home and tonight I see kare has a post at Hazel Bloom involving both gooseberries and currants.

What Level of the dream am I in? Did she achieve Inception or did I?

FTR, gooseberries(my purchase was of green, not red) aren't much to right home about and the red currants are much tarter than I remember.

you're saying you both bought berries that are in season? what are the odds? - loosilu Jul 19, 18:58 26
- I'm 42 years old and today was the first time I'd ever seen, let alone tasted, a gooseberry. - TWuG Jul 19, 19:00 25
  - We had a gooseberry plant. If I remember correctly it had some really sharp spines. -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 19:02 1
    - I absolutely adore raspberries, because my Grandpapa grew them in the back yard. I remember trying to pick enough to fill one cup - loosilu Jul 19, 19:07

        Did you have blue or red ones. Two different tastes. The blue are very sweet, the red have a sweet with a slight tart taste. -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 19:10 3

        (or maybe I was just so focused on raspberries always, I eschewed all other berries.) - miss amanda jones Jul 19, 19:09 1
        
        raspberries are fragile, ephemeral rubies. You can be excused for focusing on them. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 19:14
      - that's another berry I never saw. Also, you need to cook for me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 19:05 9
        
        I have a picture of a red huckleberry plant with berries on it in my Ape Caves picture album at FB -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 19:07 8
        
        I will look, and you still need to cook for me. Y ou should do something with salmon and huckleberries. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 19:12 7
        
        Wow, lucky me. I get to go fishing, pick berries and cook dinner. -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 19:17 6
        
        what, you'd rather sell toilet paper? -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 19:18 5
        
        Yes -- nm - Bacon Jul 19, 19:19 4
