It never ceases to amaze me how time slips by. I've actually tried to write a couple times this past week, but just didn't feel up to it. Monday afternoon, I came down with a bug/flu, and it really took it out of me for a couple days.
On a larger scale, I noticed the date today (6/12) and realized that I have been dating my current wonderful girlfriend for 12 years. I just can't believe it. It seems like yesterday we were talking about getting married and on our honeymoon. Now we've got a wonderful 2 year old, and are planning on celebrating our 10th anniversary next weekend.
In an unrelated side-note, those of you who know me, know that I love to cook. Tonight, Gail made a delicious Strawberry Shortcake, and I helped prepare the strawberries. I had heard on a cooking show about a quick and easy way to core your strawberries. First, to explain why coring is necessary, the inner white core of the strawberry is basically flavorless, and so by leaving it in the berry, it basically dilutes the flavor. However, if you've ever worked with strawberries, you know that they break down very quickly after slicing, and are generally a delicate fruit. The easiest way to core them is to use a large star frosting tip. Pull the leaves off, then gently insert the point of the tip into the top (where the leaves were) end of the strawberry. You may have to gently rock it back and forth or slightly twist it to get it in. After inserting it, give it a twist and remove it. If you did it properly, they complete hull of the strawberry should pop out.
