Strawberry Bourbon time....almost.

Today I planted peas. I think sugar snaps are probably one of  my all time favorite things to grow. I remember eating them right out of my parents garden when I was young. They taste like spring time! Any way, I planted the peas, and this weekend or next I will start my potatoes, which I am growing in trash cans this year. So, while I was out there planting, and digging, and cursing my asshole dog for digging a huge hole next to the garden fence so he could eat old eggshells out of the compost, I started thinking about summer, and food....again. And after I thought about how I would trade my dog for just one summertime tomato, I started thinking about strawberry season, and more specifically, the strawberry bourbon I "made" last spring. We picked a ton of strawberries last year. So much that I have just this week used the last of the frozen berries! Any way, that bourbon was amazing, and there was pretty much nothing to it. I just cut up some fresh ripe berries and put them in a quart sized mason jar, which I then filled with Maker's Mark bourbon. I think I managed to let them sit a full twenty-four hours before I had some. I will do this again soon, and it will make me happy. Hopefully, I will be able to sip on my bourbon while eating some super fresh sugar snaps!
