Strawberries are in full swing. I am harvesting about a pint a day. Nothing is as sweet as the ripe strawberry you just picked seconds ago in the garden. I like them warm from the sun. Just like warm tomatoes off the vine, they carry extra quality in them.
My neighbor Ricardo told me that Glade-Link farm is now open for pick-your-own strawberries. Give them a call before you head out. Sometimes they have to skip a day so that berries can ripen for picking. Also, don't forget this Saturday (May 30) we have a strawberry festival at the West Frederick Farmer's Market! With music and raffle and strawberries everywhere, it is going to be a fun time at the market.

Wow. What a great harvest!
Looks good!
Might I suggest a Thai-style green curry to use up some of that cilantro? Pureed with some green chilis, lime, sugar, fish sauce, I bet it would be delicious. As for the dill - maybe a cucumber salad? I always add it to chicken soup too... Mmmmmmm...
Might I suggest I would love to eat that, Yeon?
Chelsea: excellent suggestions! I have been making Thai-style green curry using Jamie Oliver's recipe, which uses good amount of basil and cilantro. Since my basil plants are very young, I could try using mostly cilantro. Cucumbers are not in season yet, so I would need to wait to make cucumber salad. I love cucumber + yogurt + dill combo though! I am thinking about getting a salmon and curing it - We can use a couple cups of dill easily that way.
Smoo: another excellent suggestion! you know I would love to have you as a guest at any time.
