I ate bing cherries all last week & was been in foodie heaven. Yesterday on a trip to Wholefoods, I spotted my favorite cherry of all, the ranier cherry. I love them so but they cost soooo much. I walked out paying a small 9.30 for 1.5 lbs.
I love the burst of sensual delight in my mouth when I bite into a juicy ripe & sweet cherry. Wait, that sounds too suggestive, I really mean the fruit!
I also spotted these lovely purple artichokes @ Wholepaycheck. The looked so beutiful, I just saw photo written all over them. Now that the photo is out of the way, it’s time to chow down on them!!!

They just opened a Whole Foods in Orlando which is only 10 mins away from me as opposed to the one that was 45 mins away… I’m so trying not to go cause one, I don’t have a job and two, I’ll be spending money I don’t have.
That cherry pic looks soooo good! Hope to see a post after you make the purple artichoke.

YES- i’ve been spending a small fortune on cherries lately too
i’m a poor grad students so that 10.00 for a little bag is not cute… i’m trying to stop :/

Oooh… one of the joys of summer in California is the large variety of cherries at the farmer’s market… I tried no less than six at one stand last Friday!!

Bernice – Thx for stopping by to check me out!!! I am digging the flow on your blog boo!!!
Meikmeika – Um, you may have to get a part time up in there. LOL!!!
Suite Suzy prepared them for me tonight & they were soooo good. I am saving one out for a post photo, maybe tuesday. A vegan safe side of course 😉
Shea – Yes, 10 bucks is not cute especially when you cannot get enough of them. I am going to pick up another bag tomorrow. Why am I tripping!!!
AnnaC – Don’t tease me with all of the variety you have. I only see 3 varieties, bing, ranier & lambert. Poor me. LOL

I’m so down to be working there but they’ve already hired everyone they need. That would be the perfect job for the next 6 months…sigh… The discount alone would be awesome!

I love the purple artichokes. It reminds me of the lotus how you photographed it. Nice!

9 dollars! I tried to get Ranier cherries at Whole Foods Friday, and they tried to charge me 13 dollars for a pound and a quarter! I thought theyd be about 8 dollars, and I was going to give myself a “birthday treat:, but not for no 13 dollars! I just couldnt justify the expense, lol.

byg: i love that you respond to each of your commenters!!! makes me want to comment more
i actually stop leaving notes on other blogs b/c they rarely say anything back- which i understand, it’s a timely process…but still
i think it makes the reader feel… i dunno, special! so thanx

Lola – I’m thinking that you should have been eating them as you walked around the store boo. No wait, that won’t work. No where to put the seeds. I guess you could swallow but who wants to shit out seeds. TMI, I know.
Shea – I also like bloggers that comment back and most that I read do. To me it’s like a big open discussion.
Keep commenting!!!!
