Les fruits rouges
If I had any talent for poetry, I think I would be thrilled to be able to write elogious words about my love and fascination for les fruits rouges. At this time of year, I become excited like a child when I arrive at the market, and find all sorts of beauties like these ones: Rainier cherries, groseilles rouges (red currants), Bing cherries, raspberries and strawberries. Wouldn't you too?
I cannot decide which ones I like best.
Although these days, I don't know if you are like me, but I think I will turn into a large cherry in view of the consumption I make of Rainier cherries. I walk around with noyaux (pits) in my mouth all day.
I really do.
Oh, and guess what, some of you were so right! I've found the cake recipe again, in a pile of papers that, Thank God, I did not get rid of.
Le désordre (mess) has some good, even if my papa would fully disagree with me. But he and I have a different concept of it .
Bon 14 juillet à tous ! I will come back with recipes next!

Here in the Northern Piedmont, the currants and cherries are over... sigh... But blueberries are still there - some; as well as some of the red raspberries. Ever-bearing strawberries will continue to produce until frost. The wineberries are at a peak, and I am freezing bags of them for use in the winter; blackberries are really just starting and they are outstanding in sorbet: such an intense flavor! Yes, I love les fruits rouges, but I love toutes les baies: rouges, noires ou bleues!

I'm glad to read that you found your recipe. I've had these moments of untold horror that I threw out a precious paper from a messy pile. Nothing is sweeter than finding you were wrong. About as sweet as the first warm scarlet cherry of the year.

When you get your hands on a wonderful batch of Bing cherries; the taste is incredible. I can eat lots of them. Although I enjoy the small red fruits, my all-time favorite is definitely wild blueberries. We used to go each summer picking our own Wild Blueberries when I was a child. I probably ate as much on the fields as I bring back home.

I have a weakness for red fruits as well, especially raspberries! The Rainer cherry is my fav of all cherries too. Yum... The photo looks delicious.

I love that you wrote that you walk around with pits in your mouth, I definitely do that as well as I'm always munching on cherries!

You know it's a good photo when, just by looking at it, you can almost smell and taste the food. Des oeuvres d'art magnifiques! Merci de nous en partager!
