When I was in Oregon at the lovely B&B last week we had strawberries at every breakfast, and they were wonderful. (Though sometimes I think everything tastes better at a bed and breakfast.)

Yes, I agree that everything tastes better at a Bed and Breakfast. They offer a much more pleasant atmosphere than a hotel or motel, too. The place you stayed is so charming. Her sign out front says everything you need to know before you even walk through her door.

If you’re gonna eat strawberries and cream, why not attend Wimbledon?

I wouldn’t mind at all going to Wimbledon. But does this strawberries and cream thing involve strawberries floating in liquid cream? Because if that’s what it means, I’ll stay right here and save the cream for someone who really appreciates it. Whipped cream...that’s a little different. I could do that.

I think it’s fresh cream drizzled over fresh strawberries; not a lake of the stuff.

MMMM, did the same thing as you last week at Smolak’s which is close to here--in fact I think they have a website.  They were still warm from the field and ever so good.  Came home and made fresh biscuits and real whipped cream. Outstanding!!!  And yes, the season is so short you need to get in as much as you can before they disappear.

Article in local paper said this year’s crop is best in a long while and they expect the same for the blueberries which should be available in a couple weeks.  I can taste blueberry dumplings already and blueberry lots of other things.  ;)

You certainly made those strawberries sound delicious.  We bought some yesterday from a local fruit and veggie store, and I think I’ll go into the kitchen and have one.  It should be good, but I’m guessing not as good as yours.

enjoy

I’m lovin’ my strawberries. Tomorrow I’ll go back and get some more. Now I’m ready for strawberry shortcake. With real homemade whipped cream.  No drizzled cream over my strawberries. Sorry Brits.

Blueberries....oh summer bounty. Fresh blueberry muffins. I can taste them now! If I had a freezer, I’d freeze quarts of them. Maybe I need to do something about that before summer is over.
