We picked up a big package of strawberries a few days ago at the more expensive grocery store in town called Los Andes. They have more hard to find items and imported types of foods. I sent Papa over there in search for some bread flour to use with my new (used) bread machine my friend gave me. (Thanks Joy!) Papa picked up some all purpose flour not remembering why I needed "bread flour" when I had explained to him that bread flour has more gluten and makes better bread in the bread machine. Doh! So I have an abundance of all purpose flour and a bunch of strawberries. So like the saying, "when life gives you lemons...."I made strawberry scones! Yum! I think the baking bug is starting to come back for me.
The strawberries Papa bought were not Honduran like we usually buy. These were imported from Guatamala and boy are they huge. Really big and nicely colored. Usually it's a mixed bag when we buy the Honduran kind and can be half molding already and they are about half the size too. The Honduran strawberries cost us about $1.30 but these really big, pretty ones from Guatamala were about $5! Papa didn't realize their cost until he was paying for them. Brother just had strawberries and yogurt this morning for snack. I really like these. Great treat!
Speaking of yogurt...notice anything wrong with this yogurt container?

Looks yummy! Do you have a place you could plant some strawberries? Maybe you could grow some good ones.
Yum! I love scones!
I'm thinking maybe the yogurt container is on purpose. A lot of people say if you store containers of dairy products, yogurt, sour cream, etc., upside down (or lid down), it kinda seals the container and the product lasts longer. So...maybe they actually made this so that when it is stored lid down, you can still read what it says. just an idea...
LOLZ!!!
By the way, I'm headed to La Ceiba on the 17th of Feb. I only have a layover in SPS, but if there's anything you'd like me to bring from MN (especially if you can pick it up at the airport :-) just let me know!!!
Hope you are well, and congratulations on the new sprout. :-)
