Time to make some Easy Diner Style Strawberry Pie in an Easy Homemade Buttery Shortbread Crust.
Even though it is not strawberry season here in East Texas yet, I am seeing the price of strawberries going down in the grocery stores (Sam's).
I remember when I was growing up in the 60s, having to wait until late May or early June for strawberries to make an appearance in the grocery stores.
Some years we would succumb to waiting and go to a strawberry patch and pick them ourselves. What a fun time we had.
We would take buckets to put them in and a jug of water, and here we would go to picking.
I don't miss the bending over and squatting down to pick them (gruesome), but I miss the smell of the fresh strawberry plants and all the rewards for picking those strawberries.
Love going down memory lane (smiles)!
