Strawberry Picking & Pudding

It’s been a while from my last post here. I am too busy and too lazy to write. In fact, I don’t even feel like writing now.

So, let just make it short ok.

I went for a strawberry picking with a few friends over the weekend. And here is the photos.

We slowly fill an empty box with fresh strawberries, pick three eat two and another one goes in the box. By the time the box is filled, our stomach does too. A box of 3kg fresh strawberries only cost Euro 7.00 (including the box).

Then, come the question……what should i do with an awful lot of strawberries? I could eat no more.

So…this is what i did.
