Should eat more, though, b/c it's supposed to be real good for the noggin. I don’t mind blueberries although I think they’re often pretty tasteless!

The flavor is better, in my not-so-humble opinion. So if you like blueberries, you will probably like huckleberries. :) They are very very similar to blueberries.

There were lots and lots of blackberries here this summer but I don't like seeds. :( Gorgeous looking, though. Do huckleberries have seeds?

The first thing that comes to mind is huckleberry - yummy yummy huckleberry. There are all kinds of things with huckleberry in them, from lip balm to chocolates to teas and coffees. My favorite is fresh huckleberries, which are seasonal. One really has to essentially go to the Northwestern part of Montana at the perfect peak of the huckleberry harvest season to indulge in fresh huckleberry eating. It's not a commercially grown crop- people go out in the mountains and pick off wild bushes. Ummmmm I’m not sure what I’d usually bring.

My sister likes Bath & Bodyworks too. I always thought they only sold their own brand and didn't know they have all sorts of other goodies. Vietnam seems like forever ago!! We'll have to go hunt for souvenirs together again somewhere someday. :) Hi Gina!! My sister likes Bath & Bodyworks too.

When I go to the States, I bring Bath & Body works lotions back to Vietnam. I find that Vietnamese like fragrances and lotions. And for kids, I bring children's books. Some people have also asked me to bring Vitamins since it is cheaper at Costco. And from Vietnam, I bring coffee and embroidered bags. :-) I remember those days when we used to go shop for souvenirs... Hi!
