There is nothing better than going to a farm and procuring your own food. My husband and I took our two kids to Krauseberry Farms in Langley, BC for an afternoon outing to pick our own strawberries and enjoy some fresh air. The only complaint of the day came from my back....ouch. I don't think I could do that for a living. But the local produce was well worth the pain.Tonight we planned to put the strawberries to good use and made Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. What a hit! After a dinner of halibut, roasted yams, and BBQ corn, out came the scones baked earlier in the day and we topped them with a strawberry marinade, fresh vanilla whip cream and mint from my garden. Of course my ever so picky daughter Madeline decided it wasn't her kind of dessert and opted out. My son and husband finished off her helping; crazy kid! The not so crazy adults paired our meal with a 2007 Burrowing Owl Chardonnay. Wish I could eat like this every night...Oh yeah, I can!
Check out the recipe and give it a whirl.
What time should I be over?
