Hey Luv-lies,  have you ever found something that inspires you to want to walk around a space that is foreign to you?  This strawberry lusciousness takes me there!  Baking, cooking, just turning on an oven, though not completely foreign....it's definitely {mostly} un-traveled territory {did I admit that?}

I might not try this bit of heaven just yet.  Not being much of a baker, this might be a little much for this novice 'iron chef'.  Besides, living on the Atlantic coastal line, strawberries aren't quite in season.  The cost - as a result of  the very, very dry {and did I say inferno-like} summer and the fact that it is not 'strawberry season' - would probably be more than what I am willing to pay for 'off season' fruit.  Have to watch the budget...the holidays are nearing...

Another reason that I can only dream of this delectable infusion of mouth watering delight?  I kind of vowed that I would stop complaining about the extra excess weight that I've been carrying around for far too long.  I think that you would agree that, after twenty-something years, I can no longer blame my one and only child.  I'm weighing the possibility of keeping a journal of this seemingly never-ending  eighteen month trek...I'll keep you 'posted' on this...pun intended.  {I'm giving myself a year and a half for the inevitable slip ups.  Hey, a girl has to guarantee herself success!}.

  

....  I think that this meal will be much easier to prepare.  And  keep me on track toward that goal!

yummmmm....
