The doctor says Gloria has to have 5 little meals a day, but naughty Gloria didn’t want to eat even three. The solution? Culinary seduction. (Click on first photo to enlarge and see captions.)
Ripe strawberries.
First, I removed the calyx and pith of the strawberries.
This is the easiest way I’ve found. That is just a jumbo-sized plastic soda straw that I’m using.
You wind up with a pretty little tree
Sweetened some natural yoghurt with stevia (you can also use honey)
Chopped up some walnuts
and added some granola.
And Gloria ate the whole bowlful. How to tame a resistant appetite!
And, don’t forget to save the straw. You can buy these tiny brushes just made for cleaning out small and large soda straws. Don’t buy new plastic straws, but do continue to use the ones you have!

Trying not to hate you … just kidding, how lucky you are to have your own papaya tree! And that trick with the straw and the recipe were great, thank you, Judy!

Intriguing. I’ve never thought of using a straw on a strawberry.

Ha. Maybe that’s why they call it that? Must admit I saw it on the internet and thought it was nifty.

My friend reminded me to tell folks not to throw the straw away.
