Cherries

I hope we go cherry picking today or tomorrow. Read in the papers that this is the season for cherry picking with the farms mostly concentrated around the Antioch / Brentwood areas where YY, UJ and us went to drool over some absolutely gorgeous homes on large lots that cost less than a 5-room HDB flat. Complete with his and her baths and closets, stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and huge rooms, including bonus rooms the size of your 3-bedroom HDB flat. Alas, too far from San Ramon (sob).

We've been here, what, two and three quarter years and never gone apple or cherry or blueberry picking. Cherries are my absolute favorite, surpassing even persimmon (which mom always used to buy when she came to stay). I can eat a tonne of them, watching the telly or reading. And full of juicy anti-oxidants too.

Got to surf the net and find the farms...
