Strawberries and Spoons

Over the weekend I bought a package of bright red strawberries.  It is only recently, within the last year or two, that I've liked strawberries - I disliked them as a child and for years never gave them a second chance.  I am grateful that I tried them again, oh so delicious!

This package of strawberries did not look like the typical strawberries that I see in the supermarket during the spring and summer months - usually oblong, wide, and wedged-shaped.

All of the berries in this package were almost identical in size and color - and in a perfect conical shape.  I imaged how pretty they would look dipped in chocolate and arranged on a pretty platter, or skewered on wooden sticks ready to be dipped in a chocolate fondue, or sliced and fanned over chocolate mousse.

Chocolate and strawberries - a combo that I've have not tried.  Perhaps, with Valentines day fast approaching, I should give it a try!

How about you - are you a strawberry lover?
