Light reflected on the cherry’s unblemished surface. Thalia popped it into her mouth and removed flesh from pit. “Not bad… considering.” “Considering…” Nią puckered, “… one of our favorite summer treats tastes like cough medicine?” “2022 might be the summer of under-appreciated cherries,” said Cal, “but it’s also the summer of much-appreciated pizza!”
Gail: your post today embodied all the skills of your creator’s tool kit. And to this reader maybe some added sparkle?! So very glad your feeling much better. I’ll hold off on shipping the dark fudge iced walnut brownies. For a day or so. I think I hear a Muse’s voice pleading from a corner of your study. 😉
My daughter had to endure 3 years of nothing tasting good. She was on a low tyramine diet that whole time and had a list of food she couldn't eat a mile long and a very small list of foods she was allowed. Those 3 years were very difficult for all of us. But when they finally stopped her treatments her dad and I surprised her one night at work with a huge meal of foods she hadn't been allowed that whole time. She couldn't eat it all. She had lost soo much weight. But she's made up for it over the last 25 years. Now we are back on a diet again. We are losing but not as fast as she did then and this time the food tastes much better to her. Once your treatments are finished food will taste good again. Glad your garden is doing well. I found some kohlrabi and rhubarb in the farmers market again so we stocked up. The rhubarb didn't look great so I assume it is at the end of the season for it. I think I need to see if I can find it in the frozen food section. Hope you have a great day. We are in hurricane season done here and the storms are forming. Looks like we are going to get dumped on this week. Stay dry up there (but not dry enough to ruin the garden.)
Salt and fat rule! Glad your appetite is improving and your garden is growing Gail.

And pizza is wonderful for breakfast, as many of us remember from our college years (or later). 😁
