  So, I know I already posted today, and I dont want to come off as an overeager blogger, but I had a fun day, and wanted to tell you about it. My sister and I drove down to a u-pick strawberry farm, and managed to pick 36 pounds of super ripe,red, juicy, fresh, sweet, amazing, cantthinkofanadjectivetodescribethembecausetheyaresoamazing, strawberries! IN 45 MINUTES!  It was pretty insane, because we showed up really really late to picking, and as stated before, only had 45 minutes before the farm closed. My legs were COVERED in strawberry juice and dirt, from super overipe strawberries that had exploded when I picked them up. The sun was beating down on my neck, and there were these irritating fruit gnats swarming above the strawberry plants, that came and bit your hands and arms if you tried to pick. But seeing the 4, filled to the top, cardboard boxes full of those amazing strawberries made it so worth it. After we paid up for the strawberries, we stopped by a little farmers market, and picked up some tomatoes. The Gonzaleses, who were running the market, were in the corner of the tent, laughing, pointing, and I'm pretty sure making fun of me in spanish because I was taking a bunch of pictures of their produce. By the time we got home, I was SERIOUSLY craving some tacos, because I kept seeing all of these little stands and resturaunts for tacos on the side of the road. Dang, I still want some tacos! Speaking of food, yall should probably get some strawberries, because I'm going to be posting a lot of recipes involving strawberries in the future. I gotta get rid of them somehow! See pictures below.
