Mondays are a good day to update my blog and occasionally that actually happens. But then at 4:30 pm local time, through the refrigerator door, came the sound of these fresh strawberries begging to be made into strawberry shortcake. Decisions, decisions. Company was coming at 7:00. . . wouldn't they love a classic American dessert?

| Strawberry Shortcake |
So here's the result, a culinary triumph, not because it's hard to make the shortcake and preparing strawberries is pretty basic. The major achievement here was that of finding whipping cream -- 35% fat, plus or minus -- no small feat here in Rostov-on-Don. But having found it, I stocked up, grabbed 9 cartons of whipping cream, just 200 ml each. At least they have a 6-month shelf life.
Oh but then company didn't show. Tempting as it was to scarf down several myself, I showed remarkable restraint, a trait I'm determined to acquire, and foisted these off on the hairdressers shop next door. Haven't heard from them since. . . Didn't notice any ambulances pulled up outside their door. Assuming they got into this classic dessert more than they would have gotten into a blog post. ;)

I wouldn't mind having some of that delicious strawberry dessert, Eileen.
Just been looking at some of your photographs.
Hope you're O.K.
Love, Dottie E.
Hey really like your site! Not sure how much coverage you’re doing on the Olympics, but I figured our sites were relevant enough to consider exchanging links. If you’re interested, stop by and check out my 2014 Olympic Guide blog. Nice work, hope to hear back from you soon :)
