Strawberries

Weber's Farm has grown the best strawberries my father and I have ever tasted this year. They are perfectly sweet and flavored, bright red, and delicious. My dad crushed an entire quart in less than a day. I tried to pace myself a little more by cutting them up and refrigerating. But nothing beats them fresh and right out of the carton.

Freshly picked fruits and vegetables are the best. So much better than the ones they pick while they are still not ripe and ship so we can enjoy them. The flavors and sweetness are just different. I realized this in all my travels... having fresh picked and squeezed orange juice in Brazil. Nothing compares. Then having fresh pineapple from Uganda... amazing. And then fresh coconut water in Puerto Rico... my word. These things are so so good.

I wonder how many fruits and vegetables have gone extinct before anyone even kept track. How many sweet things there will be to taste and enjoy when the earth is restored. How exciting!
