Strawberries

Seriously people, is there anything better than fresh, juicy, blood-red strawberries? For as long as I can remember, these have always been my number one favorite fruit, no contest. When I was a tiny tot, I can remember there being wild strawberries in our backyard and I would just die to get my hands on them. I would stare at them in wonder. The red fruit growing in the grass just seemed so crazy to me. They were tiny tiny little things, but they sure tasted good.
Strawberries are often a letdown for me these days. The store-bought variety always looks so promising but fails to deliver. The season is just so short here though and I can’t possibly be expected to live without strawberries for an entire year, can I? Oh the humanity.
