Some forgotten excess

When I went shopping yesterday and bought the milk (yes, I ended up buying the cheaper gallon size and will try to freeze some), I also bought cherries. Nice Michigan cherries? Nope, I don't even know if those are ready yet. If you recall, Michigan imports their cherries for their cherry festival just so they can have it around the Fourth of July (no wonder Michigan is in so much trouble as a State). Nope, these were Washington cherries. They were on sale for $2.50 a pound or something so I put a bag in my cart.

What a rookie shopper. Did I weigh the cherries to see how much was there? Nope. Just put them in my cart and off I went to buy shit-loads of milk. Turns out the bags are like 3 pound bags!! Great. Now I have three pounds of cherries to eat, which have made nice late night snacks. If I could somehow combine the cherries and milk.........

This evening I went golfing with Bill the Bear who was gentlemanly enough to make another tee time for us. This week we walked as the course was pretty crowded. If it weren't so crowded, we would take a cart which would speed up play a bit and help us finish the round before dark. As it was, we walked, played two holes in the dark and had to pass up the last hole completely. Still, it's good to see Bill and we had fun.

I also told myself that I would take pictures this week......and forgot. Damn.

It's amazing how little a pound actually looks when it comes to fruit, isn't it?
