More perks of the job
2008 July 25
The Other Half and the boys picked another 1.5kg of strawberries this evening, with around the same number yet to ripen. The first harvest almost entirely went into jam making but these will all be eaten fresh—on their own, accompanied by vanilla kissel (made this evening and chilling ready for tomorrow), with chocolate ice cream (yes, a bought-in treat), or crushed into home-made milkshakes. This is definitely a perk of the job.
Can’t wait for warmer weather, hope we get a crop like that.
Well Stoney after all these years I finally LIKE strawberries!
What a shame, we’re just eating the last tonight—and you don’t get here until Wednesday!
