I could give a recipe for shortcake, or strawberry pie. I could talk about strawberry-spinach salad with poppy see dressing, the dish that is so weird that it just somehow works. I could even show you a picture of the strawberry-rhubarb crisp I made last week. But really, this week is all about summer and eating in season, and that’s what I plan to do.
Red, ripe strawberries, warm from the field, and if I can wait long enough to whip it, some fresh whipped cream as well.
Mmmm.
I am taking a little bloggy break over the next week or so, but you are in fine company here, with a host of interesting guest bloggers to enjoy. Please be kind to them and shower them with the same lovely, thoughtful comments you give me. Enjoy this week of summer, and I hope you have a fresh, local strawberry this week, too.

Strawberries don’t need anything special….they are special all my themselves. But do you have a good recipe for the strawberry spinach salad? I love the stuff, but am yet to find a dressing recipe I really like.
Have a fabulous time on vacation, you deserve it!

I love to make strawberry shortcake. My family went strawberry picking yesterday and came home with 4 pounds of them. I realized much too late that I had no flour and no whipping cream at home. I had to go to work so hus made biscuits and they planned on eating them with ice cream on top. YUM.
