Last weekend I was going through all the things I had leftover from the Farmer’s Market and decided to do my best to use ‘em all up. Among all the goodies I found a leftover Ghost Chile (Naga Jolokia) just sitting in my fridge, begging to be let loose on some poor sap’s tongue.

This weekend I went to pick up my haul from my CSA as usual and I got an unexpected treat: a bundle of Rhubarb! So, being the resourceful person I am, I thought to myself, “what should I make with this?” Of course, by that time I already had a cart full of strawberries and ingredients for pie dough (apparently the rest of me had already decided).

I celebrated my birthday this week and to celebrate I decided to make myself some strawberry shortcakes instead of the “traditional” birthday cake. I did this for a few reasons:
I am not a fan of store-bought cake. Can’t stand the frosting (always leave a metallic taste in my mouth), among other things.
