Strawberries!

Anya loves strawberries. In fact, some days strawberries are the only thing I can get her to eat. Today we decided that we needed to get some fresh off the vine strawberries, so I found an organic you pick strawberry farm an hour away from our house. We were able to get over 10 lbs of beautiful strawberries for only 20$. A kicking deal, right! I did most of the picking, with a little help from Adam and Anya. Then she got bored and Adam chased her up and down the rows while she devoured about 1 lb on her own. She totally loved it and insisted on more strawberries when we got home. Now I just have to figure out what to do with 10 lbs of berries without making jam.

freeze some and make smoothies with yogurt and a little vanilla. Maybe she will eat that? Freeze some into fruit Popsicles. Eat them cut up on morning cereal. Make strawberry shortcake. Make strawberry/rhubarb pie. Make strawberry soup. (blend with cream in a blender - cold soup, makes a good appetizer)

Your mom mentioned lots of yummy possibilities--those berries sound really wonderful right now and a whole farm of them sounds like great fun! Virginia/DC would be a great place to be for the summer--enjoy! Oh, but we're excited for the chance to see you in Utah too!
