Some veggies are, let’s say, temperamental. They stay sit fresh and happy in the fridge until you have time for them. But, not strawberries or basil. Tonight, I washed the basil leaves that I received last night. Already, they were limp and a few black dots were evident. The strawberries had survived unscathed for its one evening in the fridge. I washed them and we ate them all. Yum, sweet and full of flavor.
Ahhh, the smell — and taste — of success this week. Previous weeks? Blackened basil leaves, half of which ended up in the trash. Mushy strawberries, soft and unpalatable — after just two days in the fridge.
The moral of the story: Get in gear for basil and strawberries. These delicious items don’t last long!
