Today the kids and I went to our local farmers market and picked strawberries and peas. There were strawberries everywhere! It was hard to stop picking there were so many. Looks like I need to make some strawberry shortcake. I am also tossing around an idea I saw from Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa). She sprinkled her strawberries with a bit of balsamic vinegar, sugar and black pepper. As she would say, "How bad can that be?"I have since learned that I was supposed to pick smaller pea pods, but I am sure they will still taste good lightly steamed. I also couldn't resist buying "their own" broccoli, hot house tomatoes, zucchini and summer squash.

I am sure the "chops" tasted great, but the picture doesn't do it justice.
Well blush, if it ain't 'Blush'. :-) (Thanks!!) your strawberries look gorgeous! ~ AK
Thank you! What a difference between strawberries from the farm and the grocery store. So soft and sweet. I froze two Ziplog bags worth for later! (It's like having money in the bank!)
