   Beautiful, heart-shaped strawberry! I’ve been trying to find some strawberries to grow, with no luck. I know you are having a great time with your mom! Happy Love Thursday right back at ya!

   Andrea’s last blog post..I’m Fifty!

   I’ve never grown strawberries, but I’d like to…maybe next year I’ll have my very own heart-strawberry And yes, GREAT time, thanks!

   You really have an eye for finding heart shapes! Funny that you posted a strawberry as our local strawberry patch just put up their strawberries for sale sign yesterday.

   Mmm…eat some for me

   This really needs to be dipped in chocolate and served with champagne!

   I like the way you think Joanne

   I’ve decided for the Marmite. Still have to get the post up though !

8. Mikeachim on 12 Jun 2008 at 1:34 pm #

   That makes me hungry. Gnn.

   Here’s a query: do strawberries freeze into what can only be called ’sorbet-fruit’, like grapes, or do they go mushy?

   Mikeachim’s last blog post..5 Reasons To Be Elsewhere

   Mike, I believe they do indeed go mushy after being frozen, but a great way to freeze them for a dessert, for example, would be to freeze them in a sugary syrup and then serve them over ice cream or cake

   That has got to be the most perfectly shaped heart. Beautiful.
   Happy LT

    ahh strawberries, have yet to have one sweet to perfection this year, but I know I will taste such delight soon.

    In other fruit news…
    left a small peach (or perhaps it was a nectarine) in the car, all day, about 90 degrees. Stuck in traffic, Cheese and I were starving, I got the peach from the backseat, it felt really hot in my hand, I thought it would be gross, but I bit into it, and it was delicious, we fought over it, each insisting on getting every other bite. We held it over a plastic bag to catch any juiciness our mouths missed.
    So I see your strawberry love, and match you with my hot peach love.

    Taffiny, that is *awesome* fruit news! And I can’t help but noting that you and peaches certainly get along well
