The Ballad of Blueberry & Lime Zest

Over Fourth of July Graham and I went over to my new friend Jenna's place for dinner. She provided the fried chicken, corn bread and salad. I provided the non-depressing, non-mayo potato salad and the dessert. What could be more American than a cobbler? Okay, pie. Okay, Apple Brown Betty. But a cobbler is easier than either of those guys and besides I could show off my recent discovery of the GENIUS that is lime zest and blueberries.

I got my recipe from the All New Joy of Cooking, the bible for basic cooking. It piped that blueberries and lime zest were made for each other, but I didn't get HOW made for each other until I took a bite. Now I feel like it's the unsung food combo of the century.

People, it's like chocolate and peanut butter. It's like oil and vinegar. It's like salt and lemon. It's like Donnie & Marie. Think of Tenacious D as the team, and Jack Black is the blueberry and Kyle as the lime zest. Sure the Blueberry has their own thing going on and lime zest kind of needs something other than itself in order to perform at its best, but they are FANTASTIC as a team. They make each other BETTER. They make each other into something so COMPLETE that if lime zest and blueberries had managers, I'd advise against solo gigs.

Ladies & gentleman, I give you the blueberry cobbler:
