I'm impressed that you brought that many home!

I think most of the ones I picked would have been inside of me - not in the pan.

A sun-warmed strawberry is one of the most delicious things in the world! :-D

Plant some seeds. I think you might have to put them in the fridge for a while. Check online for the propagation needs.

You might start a brand new line of strawberries. Some people make a lot of money this way.

You just made me soooo homesick for my little farm in the UP. We always picked wild strawberries around the edges of the hay fields and along the road too. Funny thing is, we had a cat that always followed us out to the back fields and she loved strawberries too and picked her own and ate them. The selfish thing never put one in our baskets.
