I have to tell you I love the image of you with a bowl of sugar in your lap, eating strawberries right off the canes!<br />Suldog, it almost certainly IS the place they were packaged; it's the name of a city in Florida, perhaps a hundred miles or so from Tampa, where many of the berries are grown. It does seem perfectly suited, doesn't it? And I like the connection it creates among us out here in BlogLand, talking to one another of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.<br />Love, love,<br />AngieAngela Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629271379912565894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368158831786362298.post-17757729467988991642010-03-22T13:34:48.266-04:002010-03-22T13:34:48.266-04:00That's funny you should mention those strawber...That's funny you should mention those strawberries, as I do believe those were the brand I picked up at the market on Saturday. Maybe not a brand name, but I know for a fact that's the place they were packaged. I remember distinctly thinking what an apropos name it was for a place to package fruit.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368158831786362298.post-35243485750606301282010-03-21T12:30:21.281-04:002010-03-21T12:30:21.281-04:00I grew up a country girl in an isolated valley.

We also planted crops - a LOT of crops. <br /><br />On one side of the backyard we had a huge strawberry patch that grew back in every year. There were so many that we never fenced it in. Instead, we shared with the birds, deer, rabbits, and squirrels. I would carry out a bowl of sugar, pluck the strawberries right up, and dip them in the sugar before popping them into my mouth.<br /><br />I love a good strawberry shortcake. I agree about those store-bought sponge cakes. Don't waste a good strawberry on those.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368158831786362298.post-12977320582008198872010-03-20T19:38:00.634-04:002010-03-20T19:38:00.634-04:00That sounds absolutely, positively heavenly.

They clearly know it perfectly well.<br />Love, love.Angela Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629271379912565894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368158831786362298.post-5328486416805018922010-03-20T09:11:39.846-04:002010-03-20T09:11:39.846-04:00When my children were little, I used to make them ...When my children were little, I used to make them strawberry shortcake for supper in spring. That wasn't the dessert- it was the entire dinner. Oh, how they loved that!Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
