finally...SUMMERTIME!

the sun has finally beaten away the rain clouds and humidty has started its oppression on nyc. but summer means that the grocery stores and farmers markets are inundated with all types of fruit that i just have to buy. (which just means i get home and realize that i already have a pint of blueberries sitting in the fridge...oh well at least it's not another pair of shoes!) :)
stuck with more blueberries than i could consume in a week, i went off in search of a recipe and came across ina garten's blueberry crumb cake. mmm...the picture alone was enough to convince me.
the streusel crumb topping was a tad too crunchy but definitely not skimpy. although i do think it overpowered the cake-to-topping ratio and if the cake recipe hadn't called for lemon peel, its flavor would have gotten lost completely. all in all, it wasn't a terrible way to spend a few extra blueberries and was a nice complement to the morning cup of joe.
the recipe can be found here.
