| Saturday's Email of the Week |
Okay, this is a pretty wicked looking adventure excursion. I might have to add it to my bucket list at some point. If I had one, that is. While I might just start out with plain old skydiving, can you believe parahawking? I have never even heard of that, and I bet it would be an amazing thrill! You have to check this out.
Happy Saturday everyone! I am still buried under a mountain of strawberries after last weekend's strawberry picking excursion, but the goodies are lining up on the shelves; strawberry jam, strawberry-raspberry freezer jam, strawberry syrup, strawberry lemonade (concentrate). I still want to attempt strawberry leather, and am debating between strawberry-rhubarb jam or strawberry-banana jam. What do think? Anyone else have any good strawberry recipes?
holy cow! or eagle...that looks so cool! on the bucket list...strawberries....yummm...my favorite recipe involves them going into my mouth...
ReplyDeleteWow. That's a cool video but I think I'd rather start with skydiving too.
ReplyDeleteAs for the strawberries - can you tell me how to make some of those things? I feel domestically retarded and would love to learn to make jams and syrups. Is the lemonade concentrate a mix of the strawberries and lemon juice? We do lemonade concentrate all the time so as to not waste the lemons that grow on our tree.
Or, if you want to keep the recipes a secret, may I come over to sample all the yummies? :) Enjoy your weekend!
Strawberry leather???
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the rhubarb option and I must see if my liqueur recipe would work with strawberries...dont see why not!
@Brian: Doesn't that look wicked cool? The guy in front looks just pleased as punch with the whole experience. Can't blame him, as I would be too!
ReplyDeleteAnd we have been eating our share of strawberries too, but we picked about 14 quarts of them, so really can only eat so many. They went into pancakes this morning too, as well as daiquiris earlier this week! Yum...
@Stranger: You can totally come over and sample some of my wares Jenn! And I am a product of a grandmother who canned everything back in the day, from fruits, veg, fish and whatever ended up near the canner. I used this recipe for the concentrate, but it made closer to 8 lts of it. They also have the fruit leather recipe that I want to try, but I don't have a dehydrator or parchment paper handy. I might have to turn the last of the strawberries into daiquiris. Oh for shame!! ;)
ReplyDelete@Possum: Ha, it doesn't sound so good like that, but it is essentially fruit rollups, but just made with strawberries, honey and lemon juice.
ReplyDeleteYou have a liquer recipe? Ok, now we are talking tradsies! Cough up that recipe girlfriend!!! :)
I thought at first that the hawk must really like those guys, then I realized it was about the treat. Pretty amazing adventure, though. Worthy of a bucket list entry, if I had a bucket list.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've had a delicious day. Yum. I have a couple of recipes for chilled strawberry soup. I'll send them offline.
OH. MY. GOD......this video was AMAZING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI got CHILLS watching it, Katherine!
I'm so afraid of heights, that I actually had sweaty palms looking at how high up they were - YIKES!
I wish I had the guts to sky dive, but alas....I don't.
Btw, I just watched the movie The Bucket List and it was incredible. Laughed and cried all the way through it.
And as far the strawberries go, I have no recipes but I would love to try that chilled strawberry soup, that PattiKen mentioned - Yummy!
Hope you're having a great weekend!

@PattiKen: Yeah, you and me both on the bucket list Patti. I am happy to be given a day. If I need goals, I write them down and will that they will get done. Sometimes it works, and if it doesn't, I guess I just wasn't meant to do them.
ReplyDeletePs. Thanks for the recipes. I just might have to pick up some more strawberries!
@Ron: Hey Ron! I think that my knees might get a little wobbly waiting to jump out of the plane, but I think that by the time I touched down, I would be so incredibly high on adrenaline, that I would have to go up again for a second fly. That looked wicked cool to me. I will send pictures, but no video to you IF I ever give it a whirl, ok. :)
