A Love Affair with Cherries

Since getting to Italy I have been dying (no really!) to buy some fresh cherries in the market. The only problem.... they were 15 euro a kilo!! No way would I pay that much for them, so I would just sigh and wistfully walk past. The last market day I saw them for 6 euro a kilo and began to fight an inner battle on whether or not to buy some. Dr. Webb (the program director) had told me they would get cheaper as the summer went by, so there was the cherry debacle and love affair. I don't know how the next event happened (I think it was a gift from God), but I stumbled upon a vendor who had the most beautiful cherries for 2 euro. I bought a kilo or 2.2 pounds of cherries. Needless to say I think I have satisfied my love for cherries.

Just because... It's ok to love food
