As soon as I turn it on (and it doesn't matter what show is on) I will keep watching. I guess it all comes down to my deep love of food.

I have all these recipes jotted down until I could get someone to fix my wireless to the printer.<br /><br />Strawberries in Michigan come in late July to mid-august so we pick our own an then make Stawberry Freezer Jam like crazy and then we eat our 'Sweetened Strawberry's' on Shortcakes made from Bisquick and also on Ice-cream! If you're worried about the excess calories then you can eat them on Angel Food cake! (at least that cuts some of the fat!)<br /><br />We have one more Strawberry Freezer Jam in the freezer and one almost full one in the Fridge! Looks like I might have to break down and make some 'Store-bought' Strawberry Freezer Jam!<br /><br />I love picking them though. It's hot, sweaty work but sitting in the sun eating warm sweet strawberries... there's nothing like it! I go with friends and by the time we're done our coveralls are stained with strawberry juice and mud but our mouths tell the true tale-redder than the reddest lipstick out there! Not to mention the strawberry seeds stuck in our teeth! It's fun!<br /><br />Thanks for such a great question! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.thebookfaery.com" rel="nofollow">Kristi-The Book Faery</a>Kristi The Book Faeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198548056627373947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-70546222297053997362011-05-05T07:06:40.699-06:002011-05-05T07:06:40.699-06:00Connie -- You're welcome.

LOL.<br /><br />Bellartemis -- Thanks! I appreciate that and hope you enjoy the books. You know, strawberry cheesecake ice cream is one of my favorite treats, especially in the summer. Yum!<br /><br />Linda -- Oh, yes. It's amazing how they come up with some of those cakes and things and how real and lifelike they look. Some of them are too pretty to eat!<br /><br />Sherri -- Thanks! I appreciate that. You know, I hardly ever try a recipe in a book that I read. I guess I like seeing what the dish is actually supposed to look like on TV.<br /><br />Jill -- Yeah, sometimes I'll hear about a recipe and it's always frustrating when you can't find it. <br /><br />Maria -- I like watching food shows too.<br /><br />Amy -- I like Cupcake Wars too. I never knew you could do so many things with cupcakes before.<br /><br />Missie -- The strawberries are really good. Hope you enjoy them!<br /><br />LadyVampire -- Me too.
