Grandma "Big" Strawberries



This is one of my favorite summer treats! My great-grandmother "Big" used to make this treat and I remember sneaking it from her fridge. All it is is cut-up strawberries sprinkled with sugar. Her last name wasn't really "Big" it was actually Fewens but when I was really, really little I just started calling her Grandma Big. And it has stuck. I don't think she minded too much that I called her that, at least I hope not. She had lots of food favorites that still remind me of her: fried zucchini, sugared-strawberries, fried chicken, mint chocolates and Lay's Sour Cream and Onion chips. My Grandma Big was the BEST!

That is cool Lauren! For some reason, I don't like strawberries! Sorry. I never have. But the mints remind me of Grandma Big! Yeah...good times!
