A strawberry festival sounds like heaven!<br /><br /><B>Hi CJ,</B>Unfortunately it looks like the bulk of our strawberry harvest is already over. We had to give the little patch a day to ripen and went back to pbjs for breakfast this morning - but at least they were on <A HREF="http://ayearinbread.earthandhearth.com/2008/11/susan-honey-bran-whole-wheat-sandwich.html" REL="nofollow"><B>homemade bread.</B></A> ; )<br /><br /><B>Hi Melissa,</B>Isn't that strawberry color amazing? I didn't do anything to them except wash and slice them - and let them get as ripe as I dared on the vines. So good. Definitely worth waiting for all year! : )<br /><br /><B>Hi Kate,</B>I'm so glad you enjoyed the <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/slice-of-toasted-heaven-lemon-coconut.html" REL="nofollow"><B>Lemon Coconut Quick Bread</B></A> - I'm loving it (probably a little too much, LOL).<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your trouble with the glass pans. I used glass loaf pans for years and finally realized they just weren't giving me results I was happy with, both with quick breads and yeast breads - and they often were so hard to clean. When I finally broke down a few years ago and invested in some of these <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004R91S/farmgirlfare-20" REL="nofollow"><B>Chicago Metallic commercial loaf pans</B></A> I couldn't believe the difference - and so easy to clean. At about $12 each I was kicking myself for not buying them sooner, especially as they come with a 25 year warranty. I have both sizes now, and use them all the time for both quick breads and sandwich loaves. I highly recommend them (and all Chicago Metallic bakeware for that matter-I have several other pans as well).<br /><br />This cake will work fine in a 9-inch pan rather than the 8-inch I specify - just check for doneness a little sooner.<br /><br />Happy baking! : )Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-89871553793874862222009-05-25T21:15:15.593-05:002009-05-25T21:15:15.593-05:00I have to tell you, I made that Lemon Coconut brea...I have to tell you, I made that Lemon Coconut bread last week and it was to die for. Unfortunately, the only 8x4 pan I had was glass and it burned the entire outside of the bread. I was so mad! However, hubby and I cut off the burnt outside and gobbled up the inside. I'll be making it again for sure, but this time in my nonstick loaf pan (though it is a bit bigger). I can only imagine how utterly scrumptious it would be with strawberries and cream on it!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260394895868230885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-57869356920353965542009-05-25T16:48:56.137-05:002009-05-25T16:48:56.137-05:00Oh my, those strawberries are such a lucious dark ...Oh my, those strawberries are such a lucious dark red!

We just had our local strawberry festival here in VA. We did not go, but at strawberries at a birthday gathering. Yummy!vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.com
