catch 23

thats right!  Blog Readers i just paid a FULL TWENTY THREE dollars thats 2-3 and some change for some cherries.... You know the little round red fruit that is almost too cute to eat.... While i know whole foods is sometimes a little stiff on the prices, their fruit is SO FRESH and yummy and let me be the first to say my cherries were WELL worth 23 dollars.....

Its safe to say daddyc's response was..."Cherries?  

Do you like those?  

Have you ever had them?"  

and i answered, and i am sure it was in my sweetest angelic voice..."why yes sweet pumpkin, my mom bought them ALL the time, you engulfed them by the handful too, i am surprised you don't remember (that is a TRUE FACT readers) and would have had more if it weren't for that sticky cherry pit in the middle. Plus my monkey and i love to eat them under the fan on the porch and SINCE I JUST KNEW the babies would enjoy them too, i INVESTEd in a cherry pit remover, located right next to the baskets of cherries" 

Gosh, i am such the consumer, i fall for it every time...but will say,.... it was worth it.  Cherry eating has never been so easy!   

My mom made a cherry pie once a summer, i don't know that she loved them or just liked them or just liked to treat her loved ones with endless amounts of baked goods but her mom made atleast one a year so she continued the tradition and i think it made her think of her mom....while i don't think i will start baking pies,  I WILL eat one and eat lots of cherries and remember my mom buying them for me us and placing them in a colander right next to the sink almost all summer long, as Daddyc may BAN them until the stock market gets back on track and his nerves calm a bit...... I hope you can find an excuse to buy and ENJOY cherries all summer!
