I haven't been feeling the need for any desserts lately. I've been
gorging on the Rainier and Bing cherries available very cheaply at
my local asian grocer. I think last time I popped down there on the
bike I picked up 6 pounds of Bings and 4 pounds of Rainiers. I
haven't managed to make them into anything, because they are just so
good by themselves.
