Strawberry rocks forever

[It's the modern version of a strawberry field …] [1]… [2]

Several days ago Bunny, her brother and mother went to a “u-pick” farm that had what appeared to be acres of hydroponically grown strawberries ripe for the picking. And pick they did.

So we're drowning in strawberries here at Chez Boca, wondering what to do with all these darned strawberries. That's when I remembered Alton Brown freezing them using dry ice [5]. So Bunny got a five pound slab of the material, and an hour later, we have a ton of strawberry rocks [6], ready for the deep chill.

It's so neat living in the future …
