Yay! We’re going to have an amazing crop of cherries this year, and they are absolutely sumptuous! (Trust me, I’m snacking on some right now.) When I was at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday, I was delighted to see a little girl joyfully prancing around with gorgeous, deep red twin bing cherries draped over each ear. We should all express our joy at the gift of this amazing super food!
