May 22nd is National Strawberry and Cream day. Many of the food writers that I enjoy reading had written about how they were using strawberries. I have always loved strawberries. When I was a little girl, I used to call them heart berries because to me they were shaped like little hearts. We used to grow them in our backyard and my mom would send me out to pick a basket of love. When I began dating, I used to find it incredibly romantic when my partner at the time would feed me strawberries. I have always had a passion for my “heart berries” because they always reminded me of love. Being able to share strawberries with someone special was about sharing my “heart” with them. Little did I know my theology of strawberries had a history that “stemmed” back to an early creation story from the Cherokee Indians called The Strawberry Legend. So this week, I thought I would just share this legend with you. When you are done, you may feel the need to feed strawberries to the ones you love.
