Strawberry Fields Forever

Stephanie is in town this weekend so we're out terrorizing the Greater Portland area. First was a morning visit to the Portland Farmer's Market where we partook in a large variety of spring produce bringing home potatoes, tomatoes, fava beans, bread, cherries, among other things. Then while Chad stayed home playing the mad beer scientist, we took Nathan to a strawberry farm to do our part in rescuing this year's strawberry crop (apparently u-pickers have been scarce this year due to weather). It's been a while since I've had a freshly picked berry. There's nothing better......



The products of our spoils? Bruschetta, porcini risotto and the most luscious Strawberry Country Cake imaginable.
