An ever-bearing strawberry...I never knew it existed! This looks delicious not only in color but in mix of ingredients and to be using your own berries, I am speechless. Also, thanks for testing my Villa 525 French Toast and so happy you liked it! I would have fried in coconut oil too but oddly, in the Bahamas where coconuts literally fall from the trees, coconut oil is not sold.

These strawberries are really great...I got a pretty nice crop last fall just a few months after I planted them, and now I'm enjoying them every day. Yay! ps I loved the french toast...you are welcome! I figured you're a coconut oil kind of gal and wouldn't mind me doing that...
