Don't they look delicious?Okay, maybe strawberries aren't the reason we pay so much to live here. I suppose it could be our weather. Or that fact that in one day, I could drive from the ocean to the snow covered mountains, but would I want to? Probably not. Why not? Because one of the not-so-great reasons to live here is TRAFFIC! And I'm kind of spoiled. My commute to work is 2.4 miles one way. I have to gear up for a drive to the mountains or the beach....but I'm getting off my subject about strawberries. hehe I love this little fruit and my only complaint is that the season is too short.
I picked up a flat when I left sister #1's house on Saturday. There are a lot of growing fields between her house and the freeway so me and my mom stopped and I bought the strawberries and a box of navel oranges. Both are/were delicious. I think I'll need to put some strawberries in the freezer though, unless my kids come over to help eat them. This morning I got up and some of them were fuzzy. Ack! I tossed out a few and washed the rest, bagged them up and stuck them in the fridge. I did all that this morning and was late for work, but it was worth it. I have a good recipe for a strawberry dessert I'll dig up tonight and share with you. It's delish!

I paid 8.99 for a quart of strawberries here in Samoa....sheweee...was it worth it...yes...but will I do it again, don't know.
Sigh. Strawberries. Rebecca might be allergic, so I haven't bought strawberries or even had more than one or two (snuck in at a friend's house or at a buffet or something) since 2006. Sniff, sniff, I miss those gorgeous berries! Especially those dang chocolate dipped ones you showed a while back! I think this summer I'm going to bite the bullet and just give her a slice and see what happens. If she isn't really allergic, then I'm going to go on a strawberry buying spree.
