Won a whole flat of strawberries in a raffle the weekend. A dozen of the little green basket thingies.

We've been availing ourselves of the good-sized, slightly buttery flavored biscuits offered in Mexican bakeries to make shortcakes, halving them across. About two baskets' worth of berries goes into each batch, de-leafed and sliced with a quarter cup of sugar tossed in with the sliced halves to coat. I used half and half sugar and Splenda(tm). I beat up a bit over half a pint of heavy cream with 3 TBSP more sugar drizzled in as the cream just began to form its peaks. Ooo, the last rose of summer! The wife likes using plain yoghurt over her shortcake, and the yoghurt plays well with the whipped cream too.
