Strawberries are in season.

Today was all about eating quintessential summer foods, fresh strawberries and corn.

We slept in this morning and to get to the Yoga Barn on time we had a ‘drive by’ breakfast, coffee and bagels from McDonald’s. 

We took our takeout breakfast and ate it down by the lake, such a beautiful place to eat breakfast.

There was a heavy dew last night and the long grass was still wet three hours after sunrise.

The first image was on our left and this image our left, beauty in all directions.

Following a relaxing hour at the Yoga Barn we went to the grocery store to pick up a few things for lunch.

Fresh corn – from the USA.  We cut the unhusked cobs, so they fit in instant pot added 2 cups of water and place the 5 cobs on the instant pot rack set manual pressure for 4 minutes.  Then a quick release and the corn was perfect.

Nothing says summer like butter dripping off your chin and the crisp crunch of corn on the cob.

Cleaning strawberries and not eating them well that takes a great deal of self control.

Fresh Strawberry Pie

Ingredients – a baked pie shell, enough cleaned strawberries to fill your shell, 1 cup of crushed strawberries, 2 tablespoons of clear gel, 1 cup of sugar.  Directions: Add clear gel to the sugar mix well, add sugar mixture to crushed strawberries, add cleaned strawberries (whole or cut your choice) to the crushed strawberry mixture combine and add to your pie shell.  Refrigerate and eat with either ice cream or whip cream.

Our lupper today was fresh corn, salad from our garden, turkey sausage fried with onions, garlic and mushrooms.  We so enjoyed our meal that we were too full and  needed a nap before we could eat the strawberry pie.

Yep I had a late afternoon nap, I must be getting old.

The pie was/is delicious, and I see strawberry pie on the breakfast menu tomorrow.

I spent a few hours in the craft room working on the Alice in Wonderland journal.

Thank you for coming along today.
