Red all the way through. Antithesis of Driscolls.

And I made strawberry muffins.

Tomorrow strawberry compote.

And buying more to make strawberry rhubarb pie.

1. Strawberries are like nature's candy

I will take Strawberries over any candy that currently exists

2. Where are you?

It’s such a brief season. “Real” strawberries are infinitely better than the ones in the supermarket.

3. Northern New Jersey. Local farm. I wait all year for them.

They used to appear in early June. Now, b/c of climate change, you have to check to see if they're ready the third week of May.

4. Yum!!

[kozar]

6. Uhmm , I would never at this

The flavor may be good, but this picture,, no I would stand up and walk away

7. That's weirdly hostile...

So... oatmeal pancakes with proper maple syrup and fresh organic berries revolt you?

I'm guessing you're never invited over to eat more than once, eh? 🤪

[Scrivener7]

9. Right? WTH?

[kozar]

11. I'm sorry,

I'm recovering from a stroke, but to answer, I truly hate the taste of maple syrup.
And I have been invited over, many times,, to cook. And my plates, always looked better than a burnt pancake,

[buzzycrumbhunger]

13. LOL

I think a stroke is the least of your issues, but yeah—you do you.

8. Apparently, you've never heard Thumpers very good advice:

[kozar]

12. Why? Do you seem to be following me?

[buzzycrumbhunger]

5. Oh

You hit my trigger! When we lived in Bristol TN, there was a farm called Scotts Strawberry and you could only buy them for about 3 weeks a year. They never packaged them
They would set up pickups , trailers, and I would drive into an empty lot where the pickup was, and, bought, strawberries that were, picked that day . And when they sold out, which was usually around 11 am, you just had to wait until tomorrow. Those beautiful berries were so big, it took me , bites, to get through 1 .
The cost? Was 5 bucks for about 8 or 9 of their berries, that was called, a basket .
100 percent to DUrs
Buy local meet the farmer, not the, grocery store manager, it may cost you a couple bucks more, but you'll eat less because that lil thing called your brain, will be satisfied by the flavor difference.
