Day Twenty-Two: Who you callin short, cake?!

I'm sorry about that lame title. I think having to wake up earlier than normal today has depleted my clever reserves.

I have, in my refrigerator right now, two pints of strawberries. I also have, in my email right now, the link to a roasted strawberry shortcake recipe.

So guess what I'll be making tonight?

The "shortcake" bit of the recipe seems to be a lot like my grandma's "easy way" biscuits, just with a little more sugar, the addition of vanilla, and a couple of important differences. The shortcake recipe tells me to whip the heavy cream before mixing it into the flour, and to just use the all purpose flour/baking powder combo vs. the self-rising flour. I'm interested to see if there is a difference in the final product in terms of texture.

All that, and not a shred of cheese in sight!

See you tonight!
