LOL, Saturday was our ‘Strawberry Day’ We picked about 8 quarts, I made Whole Wheat Shortbread Biscuits, and homemade whipped cream. We had that for an all-you-can-eat dinner.

Then Sunday breakfast, we had Scrapple, Eggs, and Whole Wheat pancakes with strawberry sauce, sliced strawberries and more homemade whipped cream.

Hope there is still enough left (or may have to pick more) for desert after our barbecued ribs.

I’ll freeze, dry and make jam over the next three weeks.

Sure beats my peanut butter and crackers.

There was a casino at Laughlin that sold strawberry short cakes, talk about good, a quarter of a big sheet cake, smothered in strawberries and drowned in whipped cream.

I asked Scott if they still made them and he said “no”, as the snack bar is now some name brand hamburger joint.

Such a waste for the snack bar had fresh and good food for years.

Dried strawberries. Ah, yes, with my dried peaches, pears, apples and bananas purchased on the quick sale table, I should have a great variety for my trail mix. Can't seem to get a good quality frozen strawberry. Way too much juice. Have tried putting less and less sugar to reduce the juice, but no luck. Any ideas? I am also looking for a good recipe for frozen tomato concentrate to make tomato soup in the winter months. Some I have frozen had very good flavor but was very watery and when I added thickener, it just tasted different and wasn't as popular at the dinner table. Now, I am getting just too many ideas to keep track of. Looking for just the right rocks for my slab bench, got to get more solar lights for the next ice storm and need to dry my fruits for trail mix. You freepers are keeping me hopping with your excellent ideas.
