Berries
Yesterday, the guy who sells Redheart strawberries at the Farmer's Market wanted to go home, so he sold Plotnik all the berries he had left for $5. Plot weighed them when he got home: 4 pounds, or six quarts.
What do you do with 4 pounds of strawberries if you're not going to make jam? You turn on Paddy McEye.
(Ok, that's just a first try. Still looking for an IPad name.)
By the time the day was done Plot had met a bunch of women's blogs, all who had had the same problem. He steeped a bunch of Strawberry Vodka, made agua fresca de fresa, put a bunch of berries into glass jars in the fridge and made strawberries with balsamic vinegar and mint for dessert.
But he still had two pounds left and Plot is constitutionally unable to waste food so this morning he puréed the rest and we'll just see.
In case you were wondering, the freezer is already filled with frozen whole strawberries and blueberries. And BZ has all the jam.

WHY DOES THAT NEVER HAPPEN TO ME!!??!! At the end of the day last week, the guy with the "only ok" stone fruit was selling his fruit for $10-as much fruit as you could fit in his bags was yours. Sadly, it wasn't worth it. The flowers were a great find this week. :)
Score! I'm sure you will find lots of good things to do with those - they look great! Just don't throw them at the TV while the Dodgers are playing.
