All of the above? Though milk ought to be replaced by half and half.

[ras2883]

Milk AND ice cream?! You're rather daring with the dairy, dear.

[de_lunares]

Oh! Not together. ;) But both A and B are excellent options, but the milk should definitely be replaced with half and half.

I decidedly fit into category A. I can't imagine not putting milk on my strawberry shortcake. I don't know about the rest of the central PAers, but in my family, Grandma always made a Bisquick cake that was very dry for the shortcake. The addition of milk makes it soft, not soggy. If you're having ice cream with strawberries, such as at local church strawberry festivals, there is no cake involved.

And now Amie resumes lurking.

Thank you for de-lurking long enough to share! I hope you're doing well--we need to meet sometime!

[amethystphoenix]

I'm doing pretty well. Hope you and Aaron are too. We do need to meet sometine! I have weekends free usually, so name a weekend and we can meet!
