Cherry pit spitting day. I’m doing my part. I found a sale on them for 1.90 per lb. I’ve bought two three lb bags in the last 3 days and I’m out again. Guess it’s time to go shopping again.
I really like fresh cherries. Some chicken wings would be good, too. (If I don’t forget).
That’s alot of cherries – but they are delicious!
I knew I liked you for some other reason than your rapier wit, pete.;)
Just came home with about the 5th bag of fresh cherries in two months.
My bedroom furniture is even made of cherry.
Strangely enough, it doesn’t taste very good in comparison.
I cannot tell a lie.
Good evening Gene – glad you came by – cherries are one of the best things about summer eating.
Hands down, cherries are my favorite fruit. But alas, it is possible to eat too many of them. 😉
