Captain Carb's request

"More shortcake!"

So here it is.

These are the berries right out of the box. Actually, those little green plastic prisons.

Here are the berries chopped and marinating in sugar and a touch of port.

These are the little shortcakes. The recipe actually calls for four but I managed to get five. This recipe would also be splendid for scones. It's easy, fast, foolproof.

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

This is The Patient's plate. He did an excellent job.

I finally finished cutting down the dead Cape Honeysuckle canes. Now the lattice is ready for new growth ~ it has already started. The pool temp is up to 82.5º so it's everybody into the water tomorrow. It is predicted to be between 87 - 90 in the Sacramento area.
