i am so IN LOVE with my cookbooks...i got this one out this morning...IN A VERMONT KITCHEN... i have so many summer berries and was wondering what to do with all of them... i am loving all of the mid july fruit so much right now...last night i ate my weight in Rainer cherries...
i went to the market yesterday and bought this wine because i loved the bottle...i had to put it in my kitchen window...
look at that label...so pretty
i got out my little vintage corn salt and pepper shakers..i have lots of these...each person at the cookout gets their own...
i got a beautiful bouquet of yellow sunflowers yesterday to put by Buddy's memorial box on the piano... i miss you Buddy !!! And I Love you !
we loaded up Teddy and took a ride to our local strawberry stand called Okui's...it is out in Grover Beach.... they had MEYER LEMONS which are wonderful and kind of hard to find...
the first of the season white peaches and nectarines...
these avocados are THE BEST. the California Hass...just like butter...we left with a BIG bag of these...
i am not to sure why it seems to be Mickey Mouse themed... but those are all the berries
the kitty and doggy themed portion of the fruit stand....
the offerings of the day...that ALBION variety which is literally as SWEET AS SUGAR....
and that is right out the back door...if you look closely you can see 3 pickers in the field...the big white spot in the sky is THE FOG. California gets alot of fog in the summer if you live near the ocean... so after looking through all my recipes...i have decided to make a STRAWBERRY FOOL...just berries and cream. Simple...and THE BEST !Strawberry Fool
Strawberries and fresh whipped cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla
Top with crushed amaretti cookies.
