Hi friends! Last weekend was our annual cherry-picking trip, which also included picking up about 18 lbs of strawberries from one of our favorite farm stands as well as some freshly-picked blackberries that were still warm from the sun when they handed them over. It was a fruit-filled weekend, as I made shrubs, strawberry jam, and we pitted multiple pounds of cherries to freeze. We froze a lot of the strawberries as well, for future gelato. I also had Bean Day on Monday and aside from picking the fruit I spent the rest of the weekend in the kitchen and it felt good.

I was recently talking to a friend whose kiddo is about to lose his first teeth and she mentioned not having any idea of the going rate for teeth these days (as to be paid by the tooth fairy). This conversation unlocked a memory for me because I remember exactly what I got from the tooth fairy when I was losing my first teeth.
