The Tale of Two Strawberries

Or, rather, seven pounds of strawberries. Our friends took us berry picking a few weeks ago and we had a blast! The kids were total experts and put us to shame.


We did manage to turn our truckload of berries into two delicious treats: freezer jam and strawberry rhubarb pie, our favorite! Warren has become a master pie maker and I can't complain--especially when he uses this fabulous all butter crust. Delish! We are super pumped that we finally invested in a dough cutter.



The masterpiece:


In other news, we are officially moved into our house. Of course that means that it looked like this for a few weeks...

But we've managed to do some organizing. Since we didn't move with any furniture, we scoured a bunch of garage sales, which is where we found this behemoth.

With some work...

we turned it into this (excuse the bluriness):

Thank you, Bosch orbital sander, without which we would have been lost!

I'll post a few more photos of projects we've tackled but for now, happy summer! Go eat some pie!
