My favourite strawberries are locally grown ones. Their flavour and richness just doesn't compare to the store bought ones that are so large, white and flavourless. Once you taste a local strawberry (at room temperature preferably), there's no turning back. Yes, you have to wait each year until they are avaialble to truly appreciate what a real strawberry tastes like. If you have a freezer, buy lots of them, quick freeze them individually on cookie sheets and then store in airtight bags or containers. Whle fresh is still the best, frozen srawberries are the next best.

I'm back from a two month sojourn with my husband Jon. We travelled over 11,400 km in our Westfalia van and visited over 40 cities in Western Canada and the United States. Check out previous blog postings for my food experiences and Jon's thoughts on life in between food stops. We're back in Edmonton and my food experiences still continue to amaze me!
