Nothing to see here. Move along.

Selective coloring of a strawberry in a shot glass.
Yep; this is how lame lame can get.

Nice detail!

Question for you...where did the strawberry come from?

[Thom Mitchell]

@danette Is that an existential question? Until we hit grapefruit season in January — https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2011-01-24 — we eat berries with our breakfast almost every morning, so there are almost always strawberries (and blueberries and raspberries) in the refrigerator.

[Danette Thompson]

No. It's full blown strawberry season here in Florida and I wanted to know if they came from here. When I had some about a month ago, they were so tasty and I commented "oh, they must be from Plant City". Sure enough, that is where they came from. I wondered how far they might be shipped.

[Thom Mitchell]

@danette Alas, no such luck. Our out-of-season strawberries are “Product of Mexico.” At least they're a source of fiber, but sometimes they even taste like strawberries! It's partly why we switch over to having more grapefruit in the winter. (The bag of grapefruit I bought this week is labelled “Florida Ruby Red” and although the grove location isn't ID'ed, the distributor is in Vero Beach.)

[Danette Thompson]

@rhoing Ruby Red is the best! I’ll need to get some. We are going to Homestead over the weekend. There’s a cool fruit stand. I’ll need to stop. It’s unfortunate you can’t get our strawberries. They are good!

@danette A few nights ago, we sampled an HGTV show based in the Tampa area. The home they built was in Plant City. He said he enjoyed working in that area: it was an opportunity to get fresh strawberries and fresh-strawberry shakes. :)

[Danette Thompson]

@rhoing Yes, one day I will make it to the fabulous Strawberry Festival that they have.

Watched another episode of the HGTV
show last night that took place in Plant City again — I thought of your comment here again! https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/34679
