Strawberries after all

After complaining about the ant invasion in our strawberry patch, I’m happy to be eating my words.  I reached in to the dense green foliage of the strawberry patch and came up with the perfect berry: ripe, bright red and ready to eat.  The ants moved on, preferring the cast-offs from the fruit tree. The rats and squirrels eat half, then dump the rest for the ants and the fruit flies.

No matter.  I gathered the berries the snails missed, and put them to good use that night.  The day before, I read  Strawberry glut daiquiri at Promenade Plantings.

I’m not much of a drinker, unless you count water and tea, but this sounded really good.  We actually had white rum and lime in the house, so it all seemed serendipitous.  If you have your own glut of strawberries and you like the occasional fruity drink with a kick, this drink is delicious.

What else can you do with all those strawberries?
