Decadent strawberries

I was asked if I would blog about the food we ate or the stuff that I cooked in my moments of culinary creativity. I figured - what the heck, just write and maybe one day I could be as famous as Gordon Ramsey or Delia Smith.

We came home from dog training (our regular Sunday afternoon activity) - dog tired from the searing heat, thirsty but not quite hungry. V has fallen asleep and forgotten about the Sunday deal to cook dinner. We thought of going off to the corner coffee shop to forage for some grub but somehow never moved our butts out the door again. So I rummaged the fridge for something light. I had 2 punnets of strawberries from NTUC from last week but somehow never got around to eating them. I figured this would be a good time to have decadent strawberries for dinner.

So easy that any bumbling fool in the kitchen could manage this with 3 ingredients. I started with the 2 punnets of strawberries, washed, hulled and cut into smaller pieces. I dumped the whole lot into a large bowl, hunted around for some booze in the cupboard but couldn't find the Baileys (Irish Whiskey liqueur with cream) but found the Kahlua (coffee liqueur) instead as a good substitute. I poured a very generous glug of Kahlua over the strawberries and tossed it around. The next step would be to put the whole lot into the fridge to chill and macerate till the favours are mixed.

But we went straight for the attack - I took out the can of whipped cream and squirted it all over the strawberries. Good quality vanilla ice-cream from New Zealand Natural is also excellent with the boozy strawberries!

Yeah - now you know why called decadent?
