Hello everyone from Ten Gables Cottage, It is a very rainy day today here in South Florida. I awoke to the sounds of crashing thunder and lightening, and rain was hitting the windows hard! It soon settled down into a very rainy day, but brightened up somewhat and has just rained steadily all day. We certainly need this rain, as we are in a drought, the worse one in 80 years for this time of year. 
After it brightened up a bit, I decided to go to the market, as I really needed some staples. The first thing I saw was a big display of strawberries from Plant City, Florida, famous for delicious strawberries. So of course, I had to buy some. Yum! They are beautiful and sweet and juicy!

I am once again on a diet, or at least trying to avoid sugary desserts like cake and cookies, so I thought I would just make a jello dessert, using strawberry jello, finely diced and mashed strawberries, crushed pineapple, and banana. With just a small dab of Cool Whip (we won't even THINK whipped cream), I think this will appease my sweet tooth and be a fine dessert tonight.
Off it goes into the fridge to get firm and off I go to enjoy painting in the studio, listening to the gentle rain outside. Such a COZY day!
Hey, Egretta, the strawberries match your Red Mulch! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty much in a drought situation too - much drier than we usually get in March.
Hi Egretta, Those strawberries look really good. My husband is diabetic and so I often serve sugar free jello as a dessert. I am glad that the drought has been broken with you some rain. I have noticed several other bloggers complaining about the lack of rainfall.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about the camera I use in your visit to my blog. I use a Nikon D 5000. It has been a while since I did any watercolors and I am a bit rusty and out of practice (to say the least).
P.S. I like your stove makeover.
Your dessert looks so much better & healthier than cakes and cookies! Let the diet begin!
