THANKFULLY, I didn't waste any of our yummy Maine berries on that awful cake - I used frozen. I did use some fresh berries in the cobbler, but come to think of it, I don't think they were Maine berries. So I don't have to feel too bad about wasting them. 
Your Maine stories always remind me of where I grew up in New York, somehow. My grandparents had a summer cabin on Wolf Lake, in the Catskills - I think I may have even mentioned that before. All around the lake, and all over in our yard, grew wild blueberry bushes. Sometimes we'd make weekend trips up there just to pick berries, but some of my fondest memories are of picking a bowlful, and then sitting on the dock, with my toes in the lake, eating berries (well, ok, I'd occasionally throw a few to the fish, too... did you know sunnies like blueberries?)
I'm sorry you can't have your Maine berries there, but you know, they're right - if they're not wild berries, they just don't taste the same at all.
I will try Shanna's banana bread - it sounds fantastic! I just remembered that I tossed half of my chocolate-applesauce loaf in the freezer last week, so until the bananas are black, I'm not stuck eating cereal.
