thirschfeld's Notes:
Expand1 strawberry patch or u-pick strawberry patch on a hot afternoon Ask a question about this ingredient
1 or more bottles of champagne, I like Clicquot but Moet Chandon is usually more yeasty and adds a great shortbread note. Over the top go with La Grande Dame or Dom Pérignon Ask a question about this ingredient
If you need instructions you should probably just stay at home by yourself.
Ask a question about this stepThey have been fantastic here too
Sounds wonderful! Also, last year I read a great book on the story of the Veuve Clicquot and just loved it. It was a fascinating read on her life and times as well as a history of champagne. If you like that sort of book, and you haven't run across it, it's "The Widow Clicquot" by Tilar Mazzeo. Extraordinarily well researched, I thought.
We have a copy and I have been meaning to read it because, yes, she is a really interesting lady.
That sounds really nice, thirschfeld. And i like your backyard.
Perfect. Cheers.
