2 posts
Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and morecaptured in watercolor and accompanied by descriptions and recipes Berries are edible jewels, distillations of sunlight, soil, and floral perfumes. Some offer ambrosial sweetness; others are as assertive as herbs and spices. Roger Yepsen knows his berries, and in this collection he presents these delightful fruits to the reader, including neglected varieties that have nearly disappeared from the American diet and garden. In this book he offers advice on finding and identifying berries, growing your own, and preserving them for year-round enjoyment. Berries includes nearly 100 recipes, such as: Blueberry Buckle Black Currant Crepes Raspberry Soup Elderberry Wine Reading this book is like discovering a wild raspberry in the woodsa sweet surprise and oh, so satisfying.

Six different patrons today--six!--have referred to something called a "liberry". I'd like to know what this thing is ?. Is it a type of berry? I don't want to necessarily jump to that conclusion though; for example, pineapple is not a kind of apple. ??? #LitsyLovesLibraries

Laura317 Gosh, I sometimes might be guilty of this. I also sometimes forget Chicago has no “R” in it. #raisedcountry 6y
MrBook @Laura317 It doesn't bother me, it does put smiles on our faces at the library. 😊 6y

LibrarianRyan I had an intern we spent a week training to say libRARy instead of Liberry. She didn't last long. (edited) 6y
LibrarianRyan @Laura317 okay. Where would the R in Chicago go? I thought I had heard most pronunciations but now I'm stumped. 6y
LibrarianRyan It doesn't bother me when patrons say it but it does when staff say it. And I try to get to kids why they are still little. 6y
InLibrisVeritas I say that way, though I honestly try not to. It's how I learned to say it as a kid, but I'm working on it. I've fixed a lot of weird pronunciations over the years, even managed to tamp out my accent. 😆 6y
APLitlife My husband! 😆😆 6y
kricheal @LibrarianRyan I'm guessing it would be "Chircago", I don't honestly know though. My Grandma used to say warsh instead of wash and Warshington instead of Washington. 6y
OrangeMooseReads Its a berry that cannot tell the truth (lie-berry) 😂 .... @kricheal I have a grandma that does that. Had a friend that said troilet instead of toilet. And an uncle that says chimlee instead of chimney 6y
booksandsympathy That drives me crazy 6y
kricheal @OrangeMooseReads We might have had the same friend.😂😂😂😂 My friend also said ignurt(I don't know how to even spell it), instead of ignorant. 6y
Laura317 @LibrarianRyan “chiCARgo” and also like @kricheal ‘s grandma, also pronounce “Washington” as “Warshingtin” when I‘m not really careful. I try to speak correctly, but sometimes slip back into old habits. It‘s a gift. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Laura317 wow. I've been saying chicargo around the house and josh just begged me to stop 6y
introvertedbooks I say liberry and I work at one. 6y
Laura317 @LibrarianRyan 😂😂😂like I said, it‘s a gift! 6y
