Strawberry Sunday

Yesterday the theme was strawberries.  Seemed everywhere I looked there was a photo or a recipe or a song playing.  I did’nt have anything planned and so I asked my daughter if she’d like to come over for lunch.  Just happened that my son in law was at a fantasy football party and so she agreed.  My mom was so surprized when she found a full house after Sunday Mass. Love when that happens.

Vera told me not to make a fuss, we can call out  for Chinese food.  So, I ran to the market and got some things to pick on and dessert.  I called my sister Marianne and my niece Sandra to join us.  My sister came over but Sandra was working.   After we finished eating I took the kids and Miss Penny out  on the stoop for a while.  It was pretty hot out there, but the kids get antsy in the house. The kids love Miss Penny and she likes them, though they can drive her pretty crazy.  So I really have to watch her when they are around.   Next thing (most important)  in order is dessert!!!    Ice cream, pound cake and strawberries, something I know the kids would help make.  So while the ice cream was softening, my little chefs handed  me strawberries to cut up, and they thought I did’nt see them pop a few in their mouth.

Natalie and Liam got a kick when I told them that their mom used to help me make this  when she was a little girl.  This is a long time favorite dessert around here. So easy and so good. a real crowd pleaser 🙂
