Cherries, Sticky Buns & Delicious Strawberries

It's cherry season once again and the cherries are absolutely delicious. They are so plump and juicy and you can't just stop eating only a handful. And they were locally grown but very expensive. I paid $3.99 a pound so my bunch of cherries cost over 12 bucks! I think it's because it's the start of the season and the price will come down as more cherries are available. I don't mind paying for them though considering what happened to us when we got our cherries for 'free' a couple of years ago. My mom was visiting us and she saw that a neighbor of ours had posted a sign 'free cherries' by their cherry tree. So she went with a big container and picked lots and lots of cherries. After we had been eating them up for a couple of days I noticed after I bit into one of mine that there was a worm in it. We checked a couple more and yup, they had worms. Needless to say I was totally freaked out and have only recently recovered enough to start eating cherries again.

Sticky Buns....yum. Or shall I say stinky bums as we like to jokingly call them. This is one of the main reasons that we wake up on Saturday morning and hurry down to the Farmer's market. It's made by this organic bakery and it is so so good. Not too sweet either. Alex just adores them and almost ate one whole one by herself this morning. We also love their mini pizzas (especially Rachel) but we don't have a picture to show you because we ended up eating it all up. In addition to this we buy organic coffee there, cookies, etc... so no wonder the girls get excited to go there. We also found these absolutely delicious organic strawberries there today. We bought so many flats of them. Sweet & juicy. Whenever it's strawberry season and we are eating these perfect strawberries we wonder how we can ever buy the store bought huge tasteless ones. They just aren't the same!So a very successful trip to the market this morning. Wonder what treasures we will find next week!
