Yesterday, I was able to convince Jim to accompany me to the Cedarburg Strawberry Festival. While I have been visiting Cedarburg for the Strawberry Festival with my mom for years, Jim had always stayed behind. After experiencing the festival for the first time yesterday, Jim believes that the festival should be re-named. For years, he had thought that the festival was solely a celebration of strawberries. In reality, the festival is like any other; although strawberries receive top billing, the festival is as much about eating, drinking, music, people-watching, and shopping as any other summer festival.
In honor of one my favorite festivals, then, today's Good Eats recipe stars strawberries. I, myself, have never made this dessert, but I had the pleasure of tasting it when Veronica presented me with two slices after I babysat her daughter Samara last week. The dessert looked so delicious that I was tempted to eat both slices myself, but I reluctantly shared a slice with Jim. The dessert was yummy, and from the looks of the recipe, it looks pretty easy to make, too!
