DOWNEAST BLUES

THE HEARTFELTS

SUMMER RENTAL
episode 11

A HEARTFELT FAMILY VACATION IN
MAINE


Let's join The Heartfelt Family as they travel to 'Vacationland'
to spend a month on the Shore of Little Dear Isle, Maine.





From almost anywhere in the Country, if you set your
compass Northeast, you will eventually  arrive at
the Great State of Maine.

DOWNEAST BLUES

episode 11



It's not a color, mood or even a fish....
It's the indigenous fruit of the State of Maine,
the wild  Low Bush Blueberry, full of extraordinary
good stuff. It ripens in August, just in time for the
Heartfelt Kids to start picking, but sometimes there can be
too much of a good thing.






A Notice taken from the Dear Isle Gazette.
IMPORTANT
PUBLIC NOTICE

Lucas Allen of Allen Blueberries, Inc. reported to the
Dear Isle Police that an amazing amount of Blueberries
were unaccounted for out of his Dear Isle field.
Police have released the following photo and will only
say that the Yellow Gentleman is a 'person of interest'.
If you have any information you are urged to call the
Dear Isle Police, ask for Barney.






If guilt is ever written on a face (as well as blueberries). He claims
Bonz The Dog ate them.





Ah... It looks like it is going to be a nice day
for the start of The Blue Hill Fair.





The girls know that there will be a lot of tempting junk food at
the fair, so they decide to have a healthy breakfast of granola,
milk and of course, blueberries. Yello Hoodie declines, he's sort
of lost his taste for blueberries and he didn't sleep well after his
'meeting' with Officer Barney. Hey, who's to blame the kid?
There's nothing like eating blueberries straight off the bush.
Anyway, Daddy B.B., Red and Lil'Miss have gone to pick up
Hootie from camp, then Daddy B.B. has to stop by
 Allen Blueberries, Inc. to settle a few things






The girls want to share their recipe for Granola and
Red has a couple of 'secrets' to reveal from her famous
Blueberry Muffins.





H.Lo and Pink found this  *recipe on line. It's really good.
It comes from a fancy New York City restaurant, Eleven Madison Park,
who gives their patrons a gift bag of granola after dinner.
For what they charge...they should.





Years ago, before she was married, Marge lived in Boston.
Besides going to school she had a part time job at the
Jordon Marsh Department Store, where she was a gift wrapper,
as they say, "easy work is hard to find."
Well, Red, looking through her cookbooks, found this recipe for
Jordon Marsh's famous Blueberry Muffins and it comes with two 'secrets'.
So, set your Decoder Ring and try it out.


JORDON MARSH BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Recipe makes 12 muffins.

Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
Add baking powder, salt and vanilla. Add flour and milk alternatively.
Here's one secret, mash one half cup of blueberries and stir into
mixture, then by hand stir in remaining blueberries.
Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins. The other secret is to
 generously sprinkle sugar on top of each. Bake for 30 minutes.
