Strawberry season is here!

This is a public service announcement. From my source in Watsonville, the California strawberries are ready! It is already the second wave of the first crop so get them quick. Right now, the strawberries are at their peak and they are cheap (isn't that nice). My source looked at prices at a supermarket and said the supermarket is not making much on the strawberries. A slight bad news, my source said this year's crop is not as good as last year. I tried some and it's true. It is still delicious but not as sweet. The good news is, even within the same distributor, there are crops from different farmers, and some are better than others. My source gave me some from a good farmer and some from a not so good one, and the difference is obvious. A photo for you from the second crop this year, just look at the perfect color. Enjoy!
