I guess people find it weird that people actually go fruit picking nowadays. haha... well.. I did, and I have been going ever since I was little. It's one of those lost traditions as we all aged. My parents still go, we just don't go as a family outing anymore. So, my friend and I decided to go pick some fruit over the weekend. We picked strawberries, mainly, and had a few peaches, and blackberries as well. Most of these fruits are just going to be eaten, straight. I might bake with a few strawberries and blackberries. I made brownies the other night. I wanted to get back into the baking mode. I realized that all of my cakes and dense and dry. I couldn't really fail with brownies because they are dense... to begin with.. haha but yea... I did not use my mixer, and these turned out to be quite yummy! They were so easy to make and tasted a lot better than the box mixes I always used.
I got this recipe off of allrecipes.com - Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies.. I always wanted to try it because I always saw it on the front page... and am so glad I finally did! I halved the recipe and reduced the sugar a little bit (not as much as I normally do because my parents aren't a fan of chocolate-y things.) I served it with some pistachio ice cream, peanuts, strawberries and blackberries which were the fruits I picked.
Here are some pictures of the fruits my friend and I picked! :)

My friend's strawberry tray.. she dug deep for the big ones... I just skimmed the rows for small to large-ish ones haha
All the things that I love... chocolate, ice cream, fruits, and nuts.. all that's missing is a nice dollop of whipped cream.. and chocolate drizzled over the top!
fancy~
