On Sunday, Hubby and I visited a local Strawberry Festival. Although the festival itself was not what I expected, we did buy a few things. First, of course, were strawberries.
There is only one pint here because I used the other two that we bought to make Strawberry Frozen Yogurt. It is currently solidifying in my freezer. This is a new recipe for me.
We also stopped at The Virgin Olive. They sold flavored olive oils, flavored balsamic vinegar and a few different spice tins that you can use in your olive oil for bread dipping. Yum. I bought the Sicilian Blend Bread Dipping Seasoning and this Strawberry Balsamic vinegar.
What else would I buy at a Strawberry Festival? They had Pomegranate and Mango as well as other flavors too. They offer gift baskets and tasting parties also. Check out their web site for all the rest.
I have been craving homemade cookies so......I made Nestle's Tollhouse Cookies.
Most of them went into the freezer or I will finish them in no time. Not very good for the waistline.
I managed to make a lot of progress on my cross-stitch this weekend.
I am on the fourth different blue tone on Large Cross-stitch #1. Ugh! It is stitching up quickly but I need a different color to work on.
So, I also worked on my stamped cross-stitch. Of course, the only color I am stitching with on this right now is green. I am so looking forward to finishing this dark green and moving on.
My lavender colored azalea bloomed this past week.
It really had a whole bunch of flowers!
Unfortunately, a good rain has since washed all the flowers away. Well, it was pretty while it lasted.
Thanks for stopping by!
What a shame the rain spoiled your beautiful blooms but there will be more - it's a gorgeous colour isn't it! Your cross-stitching is coming along so nicely Cathie and I understand the longing to move on to another colour .. .. .. and how lovely that you had an outing over the weekend too - enjoy your strawberry yoghurt, I bet it's delicious! xoJoy
