Strawberries and Cream
This weekend I was enjoying some strawberry shortcake w/whipped cream w/my kids and thinking about how much Anna loved this tasty delight (a term she often used to describe food she liked). I think she had it every year for her b-day, courtesy of Dora, is that correct? Anyway, just made me think of her and then I remembered it again today when I was driving in to work. She really loved blueberries too. When she was really sick w/some weird tropical virus while she was pg w/Ruby, she was in the hospital and I asked her what she wanted me to bring her and she said, w/no hesitation: "blueberries!" They weren't in season, so I had to search, but I found a little pint of blueberries in a weird, fancy fruit specialty shop on Ocean Parkway, amidst all of the Kosher shops there, and took them to her and sat w/her as she ate them up. I miss fruit season with Anna.

ah yes! woo should really be the one posting the recipe but it's basically sara lee frozen pound cake, homemade whipped cream, and strawberries. and sometimes blueberries too.
good for any birthday or for no occasion at all. just to make it a special day.
we weren't big sweets eaters as kids, but pound cake was allowed. I see anna and I hunched over the empty silver tray, scraping the goodness out of the crevices. mmm.
another image. anna and I hunched over our Lean Cusines in high school, scraping different goodness out of the crevices there too. yes, we would lick that cardboard clean. and yes, woo was right there with us. The three of us calmly discussing our days while licking the burned tomato sauce from the empty cheese canneloni at 365 west end ave.
