Strawberries

Saturday, Caleb and I went to a local pick-your-own strawberry farm, "The Collard Patch," that our friend Amanda recommended.  We had a great time picking strawberries.  It rained a lot this past weekend, so we were glad that we could go in between the rain showers.  Since the berries were so fresh, I just had to make a pound cake to go with them.   Caleb requested one of his favorite dessert dishes that his mom (Alice) makes--poundcake topped with strawberries and strawberry sauce (the sauce has jello in it, so it's all jelled together when you pull it out of the fridge).  It was delicious!  I meant to take a picture of it, but we ate it all so fast.....I guess I'll have to make another one soon :)  The Collard Patch sells other seasonal veggies, so hopefully we'll be able to go out later in the season for some fresh veggies!

  2. Jill,

    The Collard Patch is in Wake Forest off 401, I think towards Rolesville. I'll try to find the address and send it to you so you can mapquest it.
