Beautiful Service Berries

 These little berries come from a service berry tree  they are similar in size to a blueberry, but have a unique taste. It is sweet and the closest thing I can think of to the taste might be in fact, a blueberry the serviceberry tree is native to Oklahoma, although I have never seen one in the wild or if I have it hasn’t been either in bloom or in fruit so I’ve probably just walked right by it. This one actually is planted in my backyard. 

Creamed poke salet

 This was so delicious. Basically poke boiled twice with the water poured off each time, and possibly three times. Then fry up some onions and garlic. Add the poke. Add some cream cheese and Parmesan and a little milk. I know you’re supposed to add cream, but I didn’t do that. Oh, and then I added fried onions to the top
