The Power of Strawberries

There are a lot of things that I've never tried. Today I have one less thing on on that list. I was bored, I was hungry, there were strawberries in the fridge. I made strawberry shortcake. I know, I've never eaten strawberry shortcake. Weird right? I love cake, I love strawberries and who doesn't love whipped cream? Who wouldn't love all three together? MADNESS!

Not mine, but like mine.

I have to say, it was really good. The shortcake was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, sugar on top. The strawberries were perfectly sweet. The whipped cream was good... can't really mess that up though. I mean, unless you whip it into butter, it's pretty impossible to screw up. Is there anything better than fresh fruit desserts? I'm a huge chocoholic but if there are strawberries in the fridge, that's where I'm going. And not only because they're delicious. They do not cause horrendous heartburn. Chocolate does. That's why I'm not supposed to eat it... but that's not a world I want to live in.

On a completely random note, while looking for pictures, I found this picture. I thought it was kind of awesome.

As it turns out, baking was a brilliant idea because my day kind of took a turn afterward. I got an email I'm kind of worried about. I finally emailed a professor about when I could expect an answer about my MA application. The response I got was... not cause for enthusiasm. Still, I'll know by the end of the week and be able to move on.

Rock on Strawberry Shortcake. Rock on!
