    haha no they shouldn't taste like a pickle. I always eat them with LOTS of sugar on top!

    Michele - I wish they had tasted as good as they looked.

    Magda - We might have to do the same from now on...

    Merisi - I have Roberto to thank for that expression. When he uttered "Damn! That one tasted like a pickle." I almost fell off my chair laughing :)

    What's up w/ the berries? Not fully ripe? Bummer. Hopefully some sugar made them right.
