Blueberry Orange Quick Bread

Our grocery store had blueberries on sale the other day.  It's the kind of sale I love and hate...buy one get one free.  The problem is that you can't get a deal without getting more than you actually need, but at the same time, I wanted blueberries anyway, and so it gave me an excuse to make this delicious bread.  

  

This recipe is just slightly modified from the one I found online here.  I don't think it's necessary to change a thing, but I didn't have enough lemon so I threw in some fresh orange juice, and made an orange glaze instead, and it's so yummy.  The lemon might have added more of a zing, but the orange and blueberry were a little sweeter.
