Picking strawberries - a homage to the (short) joy in summer
Pictures from this (sadly) very short time period of the year, when red berries weight so heavy, they couldn´t seem to float in the air but rather sit comfortably in strawbeds.
I have always wondered, why its strawberries in english. Not the straw you put beneath them to prevent them from rotting to fast, right? Or is it?
Anyway, even just for a solid 1,5 weeks we harvested strawberries bursting form flavor. Soon as they touched our kitchen table they were gone.
Gone into jams, cakes and the best way to enjoy them. Purely on their own. Let´s be real. They compliment delightfully with cream, rhubarb or vanilla but their best flavor buddy is themselves.
Until next year. I´ll be waiting patiently for you. But please, be a bit longer next time.
Greetings,
your part-time strawberry fanatic.
