Oh So Simple

THEY'RE HERE NOW
Last Local Ones This Year
not too perfect but very good
THE LAST LOCAL STRAWBERRIES ARE IN THE STORES RIGHT NOW . . . YUM
-------
.. We have neither the time nor inclination for long and involved preparation regimens for food. We believe simple is good. Flavors are bold and pure. Not too much sophistication to our palate or ego. Give it to us straight.
.. Strawberries, homemade desert cups, (too sweet to be shortcake,) whipped cream, (with an egg beater,) hand-shaved chocolate, and a fork.
.. We follow it with a glass of heavy Cabernet Sauvignon.  Right now we're finishing off the last case of some 2008 Josephs Phelps Insignia, from Napa Valley. This is a complex, enormous, and deep wine. The flavors of Blackberry, Chocolate, Plum, and Cedar,  along with some heavy tannins set off the strawberries and the chocolate.
.. No recipe is needed . . . .sorry.
