I was so bummed to go to a meeting in California and find a tray of costco strawberries, gleaming red on the outside, styrofoam white on the inside, no flavor, being served right there in sight of actual agriculture!!!
Heh heh yeah.
Summer here is all about wild strawberries. I don't wanna call them frais du bois but they're really yummy, tiny, and sweet, and smell like a perfume.
