We've been busy with some pretty ordinary things, like cleaning the house, working on the somewhat rampant weeds in the yard, and trying to figure out how to get Baby B to eat more vegetables. I'm also in the middle of a fairly intense chapter in my bible study that's required about an hour of reading every day for the last couple days. I also think I've been cooking a bit more than normal lately, which means there has been a bit more dish washing than normal lately too. I took this picture a couple days ago and feel like it's a metaphor for how I feel about my kitchen right now -
He's messy because of the yummy food we eat, so that's a good thing. I do get quite tired of always cleaning him (at least it feels like always). Yet, I still can't help loving him to pieces:)
Since I don't have anything too exciting to report, I'll share what we had for dessert last night. It's very simple and one of my favorite summer treats. I served it over ice cream and was thoroughly disappointed that the flavor of the ice cream completely overwhelmed the deliciousness of the strawberries. I'd recommend serving it over pound cake/angel food cake or just eating it straight out of the bowl. There's only one serving leftover in the fridge - I know what Hubby T and I will be "fighting" over tonight!!
Lime Strawberries
1 pint strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 lime
Zest the lime into the sugar taking care not to scrape any of the white pith on the lime, only use the green skin. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips. The sugar will resemble wet sand.
Rinse and halve or quarter the strawberries and place in a large bowl. Add the sugar to the berries and toss.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice onto the berries and toss again. Let sit for a few minutes while sugar dissolves onto the berries.
**This can also be made with fresh peaches, and is equally delicious that way!
