It's the end of the month so this is the end of clothes hanging on the line photos. It was fun to revisit some of my photos and remember what I did to get the shot. Sometimes a little trespassing was happening and sometimes some hiding in bushes but mostly not.
Yesterday I read Friend Laurie's post and started thinking of the many different ways we would rather eat strawberries. When we were sitting in her kitchen this morning we clarified things a little. It just goes to show ya there is a different way to do everything and we all do what we were raised doing - most of the time. This brought me to thinking of "would you rather." We used to have conversations that started this way when the kids were younger and there always was some thinking in the replies. Lots of wishful thinking.
After reading Laurie's post I got to thinking, WE cut the berries, sugar them a LITTLE and wait for them to juice a tiny bit to put on ice cream. WE don't eat strawberry shortcake with biscuits, it's pound cake for us. In fact I can't even remember when we've last had strawberry shortcake because this pie has taken over our strawberry life. WE don't munch the berries to partial mush and then sugar them and put them on a biscuit because that just creates soggy bread. I have a physical reaction to soggy bread ( no French toast or bread pudding in this house.) Laurie said it's a sacrilege to put ice cream on pound cake and then top with strawberries. For her, it's absolutely no ice cream and only whipped cream is allowed. Whipped cream is the fattening part, right? So it's ice cream for us.
We laughed about the rights and wrongs of strawberries but one thing we agreed on, strawberry season in Michigan is just too short. Of course we have to gorge on them.
