Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT about to peeve off the vegatarians: RE: OT RE: Largest
This past weekend I had the opportunity to ride my motorcycle through Watsonville, in mid California. Right on the coast, just a bit south of Santa Cruz. The migrant workers were 'out in force' picking the strawberries for this weekend's festival. A warm wind from sea on a sunny day, mixed with the sweet-tart aroma of fresh strawberries, made it irresistible to stop. It is fun (and very dangerous) to eat those strawberries on a motorcycle at 60 miles an hour. But the basket did not last long enough to get back into San Jose. About 45 miles until the last berry.
Damn it was good!

Rachel,
When I worked at Rockwell in Anaheim (Southern California - sort of a
suburb of Los Angeles),
I used to drive right past a strawberry field every night on my way home
from work. Most of the berries
would be picked and shipped to market or wherever but there was always a
small stand at the
edge of the field where you could stop and buy direct from the grower.
It was strange to find a strawberry field in the middle of the city.
That
was fifteen years ago.
I'm not sure if it's still there - what with the high price of real
estate
in that area.
Anyway, the taste was just as April described it. Warm and damp and
flavorful. The smell alone
would make me stop.
Every summer I long for those strawberries and I've yet to find anything close here in the Midwest.

April,
Okay, now tell me WHERE I can get those? The ones from the greenmarket are
already insanely wonderful, I'm not sure I could stand anything more
intense
