[Magdalen] Erdbeernkuchen mit Schlagsahne

[Chad Wohlers]

Up here "on the frozen tundra" strawberries don't get ripe until the 
beginning of July. My strawberry plants look good, and hopefully we 
should have lots of berries from them, assuming I can keep them weeded 
(always the main problem with strawberries). we also have a field (and 
lawn) full of wild strawberries, but they, while delicious, are usually 
too small to bother with. We leave them for the voles and other small 
creatures. And then there are our blueberries (wild & cultivated), wild 
red raspberries, and wild blackberries. My mouth is watering already!
