Do you think we have enough?

I have planted strawberries from neighbors the last 2 years, and this year we are finally reaping the benefits. We have strawberries this year! I have been picking on average a bowl a day for the last few weeks, although I don't make it out everyday. We went about a week without picking, and look what we got. And there are still more that need picking! The good news is my boys are pretty good at eating a lot of strawberries. And any extras I can freeze until I'm ready to make some freezer jam.


The other night we were feeling like making some good old homemade ice cream. I went and bought the ingredients and we made some Rocky Road Ice Cream. It was sooo good. But of course after the fact I added up the costs and decided it would have been a lot cheaper to buy it already made. But that takes the fun out of it, right? Here's the recipe if you're looking for a good one.
