My house smells red
Jul. 10th, 2011 03:13 pm- Picked four huge baskets (16 litres, 4.2 gallons) of strawberries, half picked by Justin and the other half by me and Daniel
- Washed and hulled about half of them
- Made first batch of (slightly runny) jam
- Currently baking strawberry bread
- Currently baking white bread
- Chris fixed the barbecue (he thinks)
- Will be delivering jam and bread(s) to Karen, whose idea it was in the first place and whose little guy picked a lot more berries than my big guy ;)
- Will be making at least one more batch of jam and another loaf of bread
- Hamburgers and a whoole lotta strawberries on the menu for tonight :)
So glad Karen thought of strawberries this year, because we almost missed it entirely; today was the last day Proulx is open for berries.
