In The Big Picture section, we recently posted our trip the the Farmer’s Market this past Saturday morning, and our stop at Walter’s Specialty Foods stand.  That’s ‘the man’ behind the table there….Philemon Walters.  Phil sells a fine line of specialty items that can really put the magic in your cooking!   I told you all that we bought 3 things from Phil, and I’m about to tell you about 2 of them in this post!

A simple Summer Treat

We threw together this wonderful summer treat on the afternoon of {A}’s birthday, and called it a  Birthday Parfait.

It couldn’t be any simpler to make:

1) Rinse some strawberries and blueberries in the sink.

(Next year we’ll have enough strawberries of our own from our garden, to not have to use store-bought, but these were really good berries, anyway! Big, juicy, and sweet.)

2) De-stem and slice the strawberries.
