Day 181

Tonight we are having a {mini} family reunion of sorts...a BBQ over at Carole's house because the Brady's are in town.  I opted to bring dessert...and this giant tub of strawberries is part of it!

For the last few years, we have been buying Klicker's Strawberries from a local butcher shop that brings them in from Walla Walla. Mom gets a giant tub like this one (only larger!), and then divides up these already washed and sliced berries into small containers to eat or freeze for later.

I decided strawberry shortcake would be an easy and fun summer dessert for our BBQ, so Mom made a call and the butcher shop still had some Klickers.  After work I stopped and picked up 6 packs of shortcakes, some Cool Whip, then grabbed this 20 lb bucket of fresh strawberries from the butcher...yum.  And, voila...dessert!

I'm sure we'll be eating these ripe, juicy berries all summer long!
