10 lbs. strawberries came into my house Saturday.
3 lbs. left for a friend's house (it's ok - she helped pick!)
7 lbs. stayed at my house.
It's been 6 days.
I have only 1/4 lb. left, and I ate all but 1 lb of that. For those of you playing along at home, that's a pound of berries every day all week. It's been delicious. (
catlin: See! I wasn't kidding about jam requiring extra-crafty fugitive berries!)
Strawberry picking is closed (closed!) until Monday.
Am distressed, in the way a smoker is wending down to the last cigarette in their possession, when surrounded by non-smokers and too broke to just buy more cigs.
Holding out hope: Supposedly some of the 3 lbs. sent to Friend's House are returning in edible condition. Hope they arrive before I gets the shakes.
