Cherries (Kirschen)

It's cherry season! This is THE reason to hang around yet another year, and survive another horrible winter - see the cherry blossoms in SPRING, and sample the harvest in summer. CHERRIES! CHERRIES! CHERRIES!

~aschuth Mon, Jul 5, 1999 (14:13) #1

The spring was gorgeous and very promising - the hills white as snow, and the bees got really to it this year! The harvest fulfilled this promise, let me just say so much. Ah, sweet life in this here blessed land! (Next major attraction: the golden sea of wheat fields)

Cherries are the single most dangerous fruit in the entire world. They are irresistable and one cannot stop from eating too many at one time, only to regret it in the morning as they hastily make their exit. Served in a decolatage, they take on a whole new meaning. Any way one can get them before the birds do is fair game! I cannot wait!!! Good topic, Alex!

in fact, a had a bowl of fresh ones today at work... probably the only decent part of my whole day... (before loggin on here, that is...)

(You little darling, you!)

Mmmm... love cherries! Brandon brought a couple of pounds back from Washington state one year... I downed them all too quickly and, yes Marcia, they left just as rapidly!

*cherry orgy*

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 6, 1999 (23:49) #7

those only happen once, right?

~MarciaH Tue, Jul 6, 1999 (23:55) #8

"cherry orgy" - written by Chekhov?!

~KitchenManager Wed, Jul 7, 1999 (00:01) #9

the thing I probably miss most about having a cherry tree in the backyard was Mom's cherry and pineapple preserves...

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 7, 1999 (00:09) #10

Ummm...canned pineapple, but in that case it is better than using fresh. Do you have the recipe?

~KitchenManager Wed, Jul 7, 1999 (01:49) #11

no

~stacey Wed, Jul 7, 1999 (11:09) #12

*laugh* (just an amusing exchange when I add my own visuals to go with!)

~autumn Thu, Jul 8, 1999 (22:47) #13

go with...spoken like a Midwesterner, Stacey!

~stacey Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (11:14) #14

ahhh... must've picked up some verbage during my five year stint in Ohio... watching the corn grow!

~KitchenManager Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (11:41) #15

is verbage like verbal garbage?

~stacey Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (13:24) #16

in this case, identical!

~KitchenManager Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (13:30) #17

wanted to make sure I understood

~stacey Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (13:51) #18

hey... aren't you from Kentucky? you should have some verbage stories too!

~KitchenManager Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (14:01) #19

but you might warsh my mouth out with soap!

~stacey Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (17:57) #20

that might be fun!

~MarciaH Fri, Jul 9, 1999 (20:49) #21

Hmmm....George Warshington chopped down a proverbial cherry tree, too, did't he?! (I thought that was a Philly accent that put the r in that word!)

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 10, 1999 (00:33) #22

not sure about that, but at least I don't say chimley...

~riette Tue, Jul 13, 1999 (13:13) #23

chim-chimmenee, chim-chimmenee chim-chim cherrie how I love to fart, in the best compa-neeee!

~stacey Tue, Jul 13, 1999 (14:29) #24

*cackle*

~riette Wed, Jul 14, 1999 (13:36) #25

�choke� phew!

~autumn Thu, Jul 15, 1999 (22:37) #26

No cherries at the store this week, waaaaaaaaah! Had to buy 2 lbs. of blueberries instead...

~stacey Fri, Jul 16, 1999 (09:15) #27

I've picked about five POUNDS of raspberries so far!

~riette Fri, Jul 16, 1999 (16:22) #28

And I'm backfiring passion fruit all the way! Hail hail! $hit, I'm going to go open a topic.

~terry Sun, Jul 18, 1999 (22:04) #29

From your garden, Stacey?

~stacey Mon, Jul 19, 1999 (14:38) #30

from the tangled area behind my garden... from the 15 raspberry bushes we 'inherited' when we bought the place last year. I have never had a passion fruit -- just the juice ala Ocean Spray...

~aschuth Fri, Mar 31, 2000 (15:38) #31

LATER!

~MarciaH Fri, Mar 31, 2000 (15:43) #32

Yup! Ree's favorite time of the year when over-doing it causes remarkable transformations in her - which she shares with her best buddies...*grin*
