Fresh Strawberry Pie: Spring is here, and with it, the stores produce sections are laden with juicy, fresh, red, ripe strawberries. Ready for the picking, or should I say purchasing. I was at the store yesterday, and they had these beauties on a BOGO. Two boxes for the price of one. SCORE! Strawberry pie, shortcake, pound cake, and strawberries with whip-cream will be on the menu in the coming days. I can’t wait for my rhubarb to get big enough so I can add strawberry-rhubarb pie to that list.
