What fruit season do you look forward to the most?
For me, it's cherries. I love them.

1. Rainier cherries are fruits of the gods.
Too bad they're so damned expensive down here. :(

3. Plums, then nectarines.
That's because I have a plum tree and a nectarine tree. Genuine ripened on the tree fresh, no pesticides, all organic!!

16. Honey, if they did, I'd have a whole orchard.
Crawfish season's only been over three months, and I'm already looking forward to January. I crave the little bastards year round.

:hi:

18. This might make you wince...

When I was a kid, my dad and I would go fishing with one of my uncles up in Southern Illinois. My cousins and I would go down to the creek and catch crawdads for bait. :D

As for me, I really don't like them boiled, but fried or in gumbo or etouffee I like them just fine.

29. Oh I've fished with them, before.
I have small crawfish on the banks by my creek, right behind my house.

I like 'em boiled, fried, in etouffee, you name it...any way I can eat them, I will. :D

I like oysters, too. Raw or fried, I'm in heaven when I'm eating them. :D

7. Anything I can make wine with.
My first shot at strawberry wine is fantastic if I do say so myself, and right now I'm working on this year's blackberries.

And a friend just told me where I can get blueberries for a buck a pound!

12. Strawberries
Fresh, hand-picked from the garden. Not even washed yet....If there's dirt on it rub it off....If it's early in the morning, they may still be dew covered and if it's later in the afternoon, they may be warmed by the sun....Yep, definitely strawberries...

14. Blueberries and cherries
We seem to be able to get strawberries all year round these days. I eat about a pint of blueberries everyday in the summer, but when they're off season, they're way too expensive to buy.
