So, I think strawberry season in my county is close to the most wonderful time of the year. Seriously.

We have the THE best strawberries. I love making strawberry shortcake (the Bisquick mix in a 9×9 pan), because it reminds me of when I was little. My mom used to make it as a special treat around the end of the school year. She would let us eat it for dinner (she’d always make a sandwich or salad for herself and tried to get us to have a “real” dinner, but we refused, hehe). It was awesome. My brother and my dad pour milk over their shortcake and strawberries. I do not. But it IS dinner, not dessert. Trust.

OK, so a couple of weeks ago, I had this craving for strawberry shortcake. It was Sunday and the strawberries had just become available that Friday or Saturday. I drove all over the county on a Sunday trying to find strawberries. NO DICE. I couldn’t find them anywhere. I called mom and yelled at her because she wasn’t home to provide me with the red juicy berries that I craved. I think I might of even hung up on her.

I came home and pouted for a while, then realized I wasn’t going to be happy and drove over to my parents’ house once they finally did get home to eat their strawberries. I was a happy camper then.

I know, I’m such a brat.

Strawberry season is coming to an end, and I picked up some today at the local market for something I plan to make this weekend.

Simone was interested.

And I finally cooked again! I know. Crazy.

I made Weight Watchers shepherd’s pie before. I had a lot of ground turkey, so I decided to make it again. I tweaked the recipe a little, but I think it turned out well. Neal really liked it.

Eh, doesn’t look that appetizing. Sorry. Neal likes all the food that looks like dog food – shepherd’s pie, meatloaf, etc. Kind of weird.

This weekend, Neal and I will be be priming! Whoo hooo! It’s really going to look like a room! How exciting! I will post updated pics for you all to check out!
