Strawberry Slab Pie - Guide Recipe
Strawberries have always been my favorite. This pie makes me think of the times my grandma would take us to the big strawberry fields near her house. I am sure we would eat just as many strawberries as we put in the basket.
I remember one time my cousin Stacy was with us for strawberry picking and we spotted a snake in the field. We screamed and ran like heck.
I’m sure our screaming scared the snake and as it slithered away , Stacy was running right after the snake without realizing it.
I think the rest of us were calling after her but she just kept going. Eventually the snake took off in a different direction. We laughed and laughed afterwards.
We had such fun times picking peaches and strawberries. I’m sure we were way more trouble than we were worth though. Grandma’s really are the best.
