I'm not a junkie for your love

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

wow you really like those things. how have you been eating them?

[silversliver]

Plain, or with homemade whipped cream (pure heaven). I ate some yesterday afternoon on my cereal. Would you believe I still savor them at the pace I put them away? :p

that sounds yum. i had assumed you were putting some up or something. picking your own berries, you probably don't run into the prepacked pint problem of underripe nonsweet ones. i like coring them and filling the hole with sweetened condensed milk for those.

I'm putting them up. To my mouth. :p
If I'm lucky later in the season, I might get some in the freezer for a fall or winter strawberry crisis.

I like my strawberries marinated in a Balsamic Glaze, or with Balsamic Vinegar and Sugar.
