Strawberry Saturday

Saturday morning we were all up bright and early. This is not my preference for a Saturday. but it was going to be HOT and those strawberries weren't going to pick themselves. We had kind of a trek, as the strawberry patch we had been going to the past few years, put an age restriction on picking and made a rule about making picking appointments.

So we went to a patch about an hour away. All they do is strawberries. And they love kids.

And it was great. We beat the heat. We picked almost 23 pounds of strawberries. The kids did great. They stayed in the rows and only picked berries that were red. M was a little champion. She was such a good helper. They had these little baskets and she filled that thing several times. Granted one of the times she ran down the row and they all went everywhere.

But nevertheless, we had a good time. On our way back we stopped at a local food truck we just read about in the newspaper, called Load of Crepe. They have crepes and Liege waffles (made from dough not batter) and I happen to love crepes and waffles. Sticking with our theme we got two strawberry and vanilla cream crepes. They were great.

Later on Saturday, after everyone had taken a nap we had a lovely dinner. Husband had done a favor for someone at work and they bought him a 10lb prime rib!! Holy shamoly. We cut that thing up into three pieces, and froze two! We enjoyed a delightful prime rib dinner with sweet potatoes and bread. Then followed that up with an Angel Food Cake with fresh strawberries. 

That is the Saturday dreams are made of! Our Sunday was equally low key without much to tell. All in all, a great weekend.
