This was really pretty special, and all mostly leftovers too. We have been on a major oyster bender lately, and I've been on a strawberry shortcake bender. So, fried oyster and shrimp sandwiches and strawberry shortcake with lavender creme anglaise. My current theory is that the trick to totally satisfying strawberry shortcake, other than making sure that the strawberries and the biscuits are really good, is lots of sauce. So in addition to the whipped cream we do strawberry sauce, which is just berries pureed with a little simple syrup, and now we've added on the anglaise, made with lavender from the yard and eggs from C.'s chickens. Here they are, the chickens, trying to get in her house.
