Sweeten it up and I'm on board. <br /><br />Love the Crate & Barrel bowl - perfect for summer.<br /><br />If you see Angela, tell her hi. Was thinking about her the other day and how she inspired me to start blogging (miss the Doug shenanigans).<br /><br />Have a great weekend.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025137845602567170.post-35079119991006530452014-09-11T16:55:43.591-05:002014-09-11T16:55:43.591-05:00This is a whole new one on me!

(Maybe because he doesn't really pay very much attention to the food side of history. He's a "super nerd"!!!) I often quarter, sugar and refrigerate strawberries for the syrup to use in ice cream shakes, sodas, etc., but have never heard of adding the cider vinegar. Interesting! I'm sure it keeps well with the addition of the vinegar.<br /><br />Strawberries are past their prime here and back up to ridiculous prices, but I'll remember this for next year to give it a try. I think I like George Washington's way!!! :-)<br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend!Alycia Nicholshttp://tabletwentyone.wordpress.com/2014/09/07/hometown-pride-kansas-city-chiefs-vs-denver-broncos-football-tablescape/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025137845602567170.post-5524936150562849112014-09-10T20:33:53.532-05:002014-09-10T20:33:53.532-05:00Oh dear Maria...primero: Que emocion de verte por...Oh dear Maria...primero: Que emocion de verte por mi casa, amiga querida, gracias a montones!<br />Ok, I totally love American history and I so admire it, specially the Founding Fathers of the country. <br />The strawberry's look yum and the syrup too!

I've been wanting one of those darling bowls--I saw them at Anthropologie and you'll never guess why I didn't buy one: I couldn't decide if I wanted a white one or a teal one. OMG...LOL.<br /><br />Beautiful picture of those luscious berries! Can't wait to have you and Lee at our home!!

I can remember making some when my daughter was little while reading the American Girl books (one of them was Felicity who grew up in colonial days.) I think we added a huge dose of sugar, as I recall. Those strawberries look delicious!! Hope all is well with your boys!
