How do you do that? MAKE JAM. I bought six tubs.
First, you have to try not to eat the berries beforehand. This was quite a trial. These strawberries were PERFECT, at the peak of flavor. Thanks to my grandma, I had enough jars and lids (and then some!)
Smash the strawberries and boil them with loads of sugar and sure-jel. Then smell it....
Hello beautiful. If you weren't boiling hot I'd stick my head in there and slurp you right up.
Did I mention how much I love strawberries? And jam?
Eleven jars. It is the best strawberry jam I've had in a LONG time, and that's no testament to my jamming skills (ha ha, get it) but the strawberries were just that sweet.
Dirk loves jam. He's already eaten half a jar. Eleven blessed jars and we're not sharing! "Just think honey, if we had a strawberry patch we could make jam every year! And strawberry pie, and shortcake, and smoothies, and ice cream......."
I'll keep working on him, I will have my strawberry patch some day!
I love strawberries.

yum. OK, what is ALDI? we're getting one right next door to walmart, which seems like poor planning to me...
Aldi is like an all-generic grocery store. It's smaller but you can buy staples, cereal, eggs, milk, baking ingredients, meat, produce, frozen stuff, etc. It's all generic, very rarely do they have name brands. But we really like a lot of their brands BETTER than name brand. But I've done a lot of price checking and Aldi's has the lowest prices. Beats wal-mart and crest.
It's European style, as in you bring your own grocery bags and you "rent" a cart for 25¢, but you get the 25¢ back when you return the cart. I like it a lot, because it's waaaay less crowded. And cheaper!
