Strawberries anyone?


So while Summer is on it's way here I happened to see someone trying to sell Strawberries a bit earlier than expected. Sundays and Mondays are B's day off so I usually venture out for a long walk while he sleeps in. A large bowl of them was priced at $20 nzd and a smaller bowl was priced at $10, bit expensive I think and not sure how sweet they would be at this time of year either.

They do sound expensive. Delicious when they are in season.

The large bowl of strawberries would cost €12 here and that is spendy.

Early strawberries might be good for jam. Are you allowed to sample one before you buy?
We have another 6 months to wait for ours.

Seriously??? I don't think i can afford to come home. I'll miss Greek strawberries at a couple of euros a kilogram for most of the summer.

Strawberries this early doesn't really seem right, but I have seen a few for sale in the supermarket. I won't be getting any until the weather is warmer and I know the fruit will be sweeter :)

I love strawberries but sometimes it pays to wait a bit.

We can get strawberries at the supermarket but they tend to be a little expensive at the moment as our season is over. There is a link about Phoohsticks in my blog but as to the history you need to read A A Milne, Whinie the Phooh

I have seen them for sale as well. Not my favourite, I would rather wait for cherries although I have seen them advertised as well and it does seem extremely early.

Not long ago we had an oversupply of ripe strawberries round $2 AU a punnet. I went for them. Nice stewed. They are not always tender and excellent more chewey oftentimes.

I would be skeptical about the sweetness too.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
