Strawberries and Whipped Cream

“You thought this was gonna be a Jello Fog thread didn't ya?”

“Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of 9 1/2 Weeks...”

“hmmm, I have been eating strawberries and whip cream for a couple weeks now.... And it is GOOD!”

“Tara, I almost found the perfect spoon tonight. it was made by pyrex and was the perfect size and shape but it had little holes in it. I'm now thinking of safe ways I can plug them up..............................”

“Awesome, Pete! Where did you find this "perfect spoon"?”

“I was thinking Varsity Blues...”

“i don't care what you all think. I just bought some huge really read strawberrys today. I think I still have some whipcream in the fridge.

going to bed now... night night!! ;)”

“YUM YUM! Go Girl Go!”

“at a large food store called Wegman's I'll keep you informed on the "hole" issue.”

“I thought this was a Wimbledon thread.”

“Some people think this sounds gross but it's awesome...strawberries with sour cream and brown sugar on top. Killer!”

“I prefer chocolate covered strawberries....yumbiliciou! (whipped cream on top of that would be a bon..err, I mean bonus.
:)”

“sooo...hey...I did buy some strawberries...and wanted to know..how in the hell do you store those damn things? they seam to spoil within 24 hours.

I can't eat them all in that time....

no whipcream, but I do have dark chocolate.”

“they have this wonderful new invention....maybe youve heard of it.....s'called a refrigerator

or, if you want, i can come over, and well, youve seen "9 1/2 weeks", right?”

“naaa!! they won't last any longer in the fridge. smartass!!!! heeheehee”

“Make sure to thoroughly dry them before storage in refrigerator/counter top. Mine usually last atleast 4 or more days.”

“Cut the tops off and slice them up - then put them in a tupperware container and lightly sprinkle with sugar.

Throw 'em in the freezer.

They thaw fast and if you size the frozen portions correctly, you thaw out just what you need.”

“hmmm...but I don't want them frozen. I have frozen strawberries. I want them fresh.

I bought some a couple days ago...next day they was all weird looking. Bad enough for me not to want to eat them anymore.

I guess it also depends on when the store got them in. I'll cut the stems off and make sure they are dry. let's see how they'll do this time.

I could live with 4 days! 4 days is great!

Thanks!”

“hmmm.... count me in”

“'Those horrible things that come from down South' said one of the ladies when I asked if strawberry social season had begun while reading this thread.

Forced, hothouse strawberries in addition to being tasteles rot as you look at them.

Strawberry socials are fund raisers for churches, volunteer firemen and Women's Institutes here in the country. They start when the local berries are ripe.”

“I like strawberries with some sour cream and brown sugar on them.”

“sour cream and brown sugar? Huh? never heard of that.

i eat them with fat free coolwhip (if i have some)

if not I eat them with splenda or without anything, and of course with the dark light cholocate syrup....that's good too.

i had some for breakfast.

my very favorite is with real whipped cream, but then...woahhh...u better go run 5 miles after you ate them. sort of ruins it for me.”

“what Roam said is what I do.

sour cream and brown sugar? I don't get out much.”

“you are not supposed to wash them before putting them into the fridge.”

“i don't wash them...they still dont' last. well..they did survive one night on the counter in the kitchen... i should've compared... cut some...dry some...don't do anything to the others... and see which ones last longest. oh well...too late.

got a feeling those won't last long this time because I have strawberry crawings like crazy. heeheehee”

“I eat them when im in the field picking them after that -not as good-”

“whoooo...the ones right off the fields ARE the best!! yummy....”

“I've had them that way, and like a few folks said, it is YUMMY!!!
Fresh strawberries are soooo good!
Next is watermelon season :-)”

“Wild strawberries are USUALLY the best. The flavor is much better than the domestic. I picked a few while leaving Troutville some time ago, but these were essentially tasteless, though I don't know why.

There are better things to do with cool whip!”

“Cool Whip is not really whipped cream, is it?

It may be some form of artificial plastic-like substance derived from hydrogenated vegetable oil with a vaguely whipped cream-like nature.”

“nope....cool whip is..i don't really now what it is...it's a jeap thrill i guess that's what it is. lol...

whipped cream [heehee i have some at home] is actually heavy cream and will have to whip it yourself.

you can add sugar or no sugar. i for example like the real whipped cream without sugar.

I also use it unwhipped in salads [great stuff]

okay now... i may make me some strawberries with real whipcream now...see what u did!!!”

“The fat free stuff is like processed armadillo wang or something. I can't believe Gem eats that.
