Plumps strawberry short-cake

Slice a pint of strawberries, place in a bowl and cover in sugar and cover with wrap. Let the bowl sit out for an hour or 2 until sugar makes a syrup. buy some grand biscuits or Pillsbury biscuits follow directions, I like the ones in the tube every one loves those. Cut biscuit in half, spoon strawberries and syrup on one half and cover in whip cream, cap it with the other half of the biscuit and shake some confectionary sugar on top, this is optional as it is already very sweet.

We get a bag of frozen edamame in the shell, then place the whole unopened bag in the microwave for 3.5 minutes on high. remove the edamame from the steaming hot bag very carefully, so not to burn yourself and place the edamame with shell into a mixing bowl.

We use garlic infused olive oil from Select Greek Olive Oil, they do have a website and it is http://www.selectgreekoliveoils.com  put 2 table spoons of this high quality olive oil and 3 grinds or sea salt and 2 pinches of chili flakes. Mix all ingredients together and serve. If you are new to eating edamame please do not eat the shell only the delicious beans inside. It is customary to place the pod in your mouth, slowly pull the pod out pop the beans out with your teeth. Enjoy!
