I have corrupted Mike
Poor Mike. I continue to corrupt him. First it was Mexican food, then it was Chinese food. Last year I introduced him to the wonder that is a Butterfinger candy bar. Now it's....
STRAWBERRIES!!!
He has steadfastly refused to eat strawberries the whole time we've been married. Wouldn't even taste one. Until he went out and was checking the strawberry beds, and they smelled so good when he was picking them that he ate one. "Hm," he reported thinking, "that's not bad. Wonder how it is with some sugar on it?"
The experiment was tried, and he approved. In fact, he more than approved, he had strawberry shortcake with Patrick and me that night! The next day he made a poundcake, because I said it was better with poundcake, and once again he heartily approved it. Last night he even had a late night snack of just strawberries!
So today I've pushed him one more step down the road of Strawberry Decadence -- I made strawberry preserves. He hasn't tried any yet, but I sure have, and ohmygodandsonnyjesus, they're DAMN GOOD.
That is all. I'll have to see what the restrictions are for bringing jars with strawberry decadence on an airplane, because I'll bring some with me to Chicago...
