no cherries

I went to the farmer’s market today, to pickup the the things I didn’t get from the farm. I was also meeting a friend there, who brought me a book for cooking things from farmer’s markets. Local Flavors. She said it was one of her favorite food porn books.

I thanked her, and went looking through the book for things to make. I had bought about four pints of cherries, as well as a quart of blueberries and half a flat of strawberries. I was hoping if I over bought fruit, I would have some left over to make something with them, rather than just eat them, as I am want to do.

I found a cherry almond loaf cake that looked good, and figured I could sacrifice one pint of cherries for that.  I opened the book to the recipe and figured I would make it after dinner. I ate the rest of my veggie mush, and had cherries for dessert…yes, the cherries I had set aside.

Oh well, I’ll make it another day. There is nothing quite like ripe cherries, on their own.
