A Bowl of Cherries

A few observations on cherry pie:
  1. You will need more cherries.
  2. You will need less water.
  3. You will think you need no more sugar, but it will turn out that you do need more.
  4. You will be standing for a while; go ahead and sit down while you sort and pit the cherries.
  5. Someone has evidently inventied a gadget just for taking out the pits. It might be worth it.
  6. If you don't have one, the pits come out pretty easily if you squeeze towards the stem end while slightly nicking it with the end of a paring knife.
  7. Speaking of paring, my red peeler is at your house, Einstein.
  8. And I am taking good care of your THREE containers.
  9. Your cherry pie will be hot like magma. Don't plan on eating it until tomorrow.
  10. Meaning, of course, that you really have no idea how it turned out, do you?

I love when you write this kind of post in this format.

1. It makes me laugh.
2. I'm glad it's you and not me.
3. I'm glad my kids at school don't write like this.
4. But it might be fun for one assignment.

Better you than me making that pie. Oh yeah . . . I guess I did get rid of those cherries.
