Berry

It's berry-picking time in and around Zone 7, and Karen Nitkin hasa story in today's Tastea section about the annual summetime ritual. Home bakers pick their own berries and so do restaurant chefs. Karen's story includes a recipe for black raspberry peach cobbler from Matt Dixon of Bistro Blanc and a guide to area farms where you can pick berries. I'm headed for the archives to find some more berries on Baltimore menus, but drop a comment if you've seen some. Here's the link to Karen's story.

It's a stirring honor for Berry, 79, one of the greatest receivers of all time. He can guess the audience's reaction. "The kids will sit there, look at each other and say, 'Who the hell is this?

Perhaps the surest sign of the Ravens' trust in Anthony Allen was the coaches' decision to insert the running back to succeed Ray Rice in the second quarter of Thursday night's 31-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. But after gaining just 9 yards on five carries (including one for a 2-yard loss) and letting a pass slip through his hands on third-and-5 from the Falcons' 41-yard line, Allen understands that his grip as the first tailback behind Rice on the team's depth chart could be loosening.

Orioles center fielder Adam Jones will be reunited with the Tigers' Quintin Berry this weekend when Baltimore hosts Detroit at Camden Yards. Berry and Jones grew up together in San Diego and played high school baseball together. The former teammates plan to eat dinner together before the series begins, according to a story in the Detroit Free Press . “It will be awesome,” Berry said told the Free Press. “My biggest dream since he got to the big leagues was to get the opportunity to play against him one day.” The outfielders took different routes to get to this point.

Ray Rice's absence from organized team activities has given the Ravens a chance to focus on a group of unproven players hoping to back up a player many consider the best all-around running back in the NFL. Though Bernard Pierce's status as the team's third-round draft choice might give the former Temple star an edge over Anthony Allen, Damien Berry and fellow rookie Bobby Rainey, Ravens running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery declared the competition "wide...

The great news for Baltimore and Maryland is that the University of Maryland Baltimore County's president, Freeman A. Hrabowski III, was named to Time's annual Top 100 influential people today. Another person on the list : Walter Isaacson, known recently and most famously as the official biographer of Steve Jobs. Mr. Isaacson was in Baltimore on Saturday, where he was a featured speaker at the CityLit Festival. I had the pleasure of introducing him to a crowd of hundreds.

I plan to plant 20 low-bush blueberries. I've prepared the beds with leaf mulch, compost and sulfur. How do you recommend planting to maximize survival? We hope you have not purchased these plants yet, as we suggest that you plant Northern or Southern high-bush blueberries instead. Low-bush blueberries are essentially wild, woodland plants that are not cultivated so much as maintained by growers in New England. One reason it's difficult to grow low-bush berries in our area is that we have different mycorrhizae (beneficial soil fungi)

As he carried the Lombardi Trophy to midfield after the Super Bowl Sunday, past a double row of giddy and groping New York Giants, Raymond Berry felt their glee. "They (players) were in another world," said Berry, 78. "As I watched them touch the trophy, and kiss it, the emotion of the experience was written all over those boys' faces. Winning the championship is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and I could identify with them. I've been there. " Fifty-four years ago, Berry led the Baltimore Colts to their first NFL title, a 23-17 sudden-death victory over the Giants.
