What are even summers if fresh fruits don’t taste just a bit more sweeter and a lot more satiable than customary? My favorite go to fruits are all kinds of berries- especially strawberries. Strawberries are so pink, slightly sour but far more sweet and the just the right amount of juicy. It is my sunday farmer’s market ritual to unforgettably buy two baskets of strawberries. Sitting by my tall window, watching the well bloomed purple foxgloves at 5pm on a scathing hot day, a cold strawberry thick shake in my right hand and counting my joys instead of my woes. Thats what I do on my bad days and those 10 minutes gets me my mojo back.
