Strawberries Shouldn't Be This Tough!
To further demonstrate how totally undomestic I am, I am asking for help dealing with strawberries. Yes, strawberries. Fresh strawberries.
You'd think that wrangling fresh strawberries would be relatively easy. They're not complicated fruits. But they have me baffled.
So far in the week that I've been trying to have strawberries at the ready for my Beta HCG diet, I have ended up with strawberries that are so moldy I couldn't save many of them, frozen fresh strawberries that when they were defrosted were so mushy they were nearly liquid, and strawberries that I didn't wash until I got them out of the freezer but they then lost much of their red coating when I gently washed them with cold water and were much like lightly flavored ices when they started to defrost.
So what do I do? Buy fewer at a time so they don't go moldy? Or is there some secret to keeping them mold-free, mush-free and redskin jacketed? Help!

Pick any two out of these three: unmoldy, unnmushy and red. Strawberries are out of season now so the crap you get in the supermarket is months old and only good for breaking windows with. Do yourself a favor and buy them frozen until you can put up your own truly fresh strawberries next May. It will feel approximately the way you feel when you stop banging your heaad against a wall. :-)
