Strawberries!

There's still time to pick strawberries during the ever so short season. That's really the only time to eat strawberries - when they are red all the way through (instead of that nasty white inside) and still warm from the sun as you pick them.

My favorite places to pick are Butler's Orchard in Germantown, MD and Great Country Farms in Bluemont, VA. This week and next weekend are probably the last of the season, so try and get out this week if you can.

I'll be picking this weekend and making my first attempt at strawberry-rhubarb jam.

If you go by Butler's, don't miss the caramels at the checkout counters.
