Summer Summation in a Strawberry

It's so simple.  Summer.  Do less.  Live more.  It's all on the outside, just like seeds on the little strawberry we picked at Underwood Farms at cooking camp. 

Yes, we spent a day of cooking camp at a farm picking berries.  Because what's more summer than a picking the berry off the vine?  Cooking came later in the shape of strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream and fresh picked strawberries in light syrup.  But it was the picking of the berry that was the real summer treat.  

When did you last pick a berry?  When did you last truly taste summer?  If you were to ask the kids at Radical Kids Cooking Camp the answer would be "Tuesday, thank you berry much."
