And if you like fresh strawberry pie...you heard it right here that ABC Country Restaurant is serving it up as we speak...with juicy local berries. I should know...since I've been there twice this week...and had strawberry pie both times.
In actuality...I've only had one slice, since both times I shared with a friend. We discovered that it is the perfect ending for any meal...even breakfast! So find a friend...everything tastes better in good company...and go for a piece of pie. 
Oh yes...and take note of the little prayer card that you will find on your table. My friend and I thought that was rather a nice touch...for the owners to pray a blessing on those who gather to eat at their tables. And if you are looking to make some fresh strawberry pie in your own kitchen...
...buy local strawberries...and you will be glad you did!Have a great weekend...
I agree that we have the best strawberries here! Yesterday I bought some that were just picked in Rosedale and they were so delicious! So far we've had a salad with strawberries, chicken, etc (recipe on my blog), strawberry shortcake made by my 11 year old, and a strawberry shortcake & banana parfait for breakfast! mmm
ReplyDeleteI could go a whole raspberry-picking season without eating a raspberry. But fresh strawberries - who can resist! I would love to be there to share some. Those big supermarket berries are for looks, but the fresh Fraser Valley berries ace the taste test!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw those slices my first thought was, "They are not cutting them as big as I remember . .. " Oh yes, sharing is good . . . for more reason than one.
ReplyDeleteI'm off on my walk and maybe I can enjoy some pie yet this weekend.
Local fresh strawberries are always the best..our season here is way behind this year..but they will be worth the wait!
ReplyDeletebought some yesterday too. now i have almost all of them frozen so we can enjoy them all winter. they are so good this year
ReplyDeleteAh Strawberries, I love them. My mouth is watering just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice little prayer to have placed on the tables. :-)
My mouth waters just thinking of local berries. I may just go pick some up at the stand today .. since kneeling in the field won't be an option. . .Fraser Valley Berries are the absolute Best .. .I kind of feel sorry for the rest of the folks.
ReplyDeleteI have never been into a restaurant and found a prayer. That fills my heart with hope. I know there are folks out there enforcing our Christian values and I say we all go for it. Blessings to you and family.
ReplyDeleteQMM
I haven't had strawberry pie for probably twenty years. And, now I want a slice - right now.
ReplyDeleteYou have a 'mouth watering' and lovely Blog site. I have just been eating my strawberries as they ripen...maybe I should wait and make a pie?
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed my visit.
blessings,

Oh that pie looks so yummy. We have some local strawberries coming on, and a tiny row in our garden :) Yours do sound so delicious though!
ReplyDeleteI can just taste that pie! There's nothing like a berry eaten within miles of where it's grown. It will be a while before we have strawberries on the Island, and when they arrive I'll be at the stand to buy enough for jam and pie (strawberry rhubarb). Until then I'll have to have some of that ABC pie when I'm in Abbotsford.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I want pie!! That looks scrumptious. I just might have to break down and bake one.
ReplyDeleteLocal berries are without a doubt, the very best! Seeing your pictures makes me wish your restaurant was close by my house. The prayer card is a meaningful gestures from the owners of the restaurant. I am off to get some more strawberries from our farm neighbors.
ReplyDeleteOhh yes! local strawberries and strawberry pie... makes my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteI hope that your dad is doing better, Judy. And that his stay in the hospital will be short - or better still that he is already home. May God restore him to strength and health once again!
Hmmmmm, local strawberries...not sure when they'll be ready here...gotta be soon, I think. John will be looking for a strawberry shortcake and that's all I'm good at making with strawberries, which are not my favorite berries, but close.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fun to catch up with you this evening; although, I am not happy to learn that your dad is back in the hospital. (So is my mom.)
And I'm so glad that you mentioned that some emails just go missing. They do. They really do.
Take care, hug those grands...
I agree that homegrown strawberries taste the best! I've been having a few each day from my little strawberry pot. The ABC Country restaurant pie looks delicious!
