Is there a spittoon at the table for the pits?!?

Ann, that's a ferret.
And there is supposed to be MORE rain.
The flash flood watch has been extended to tomorrow evening.

Hah. No, this is where you perfect the art of hand-to-mouth-to-plate disposal.

This is what I'm saying! I can see the flavor argument, but the convenience of being able to eat the whole bite of food outweighs it, IMO. I guess this is why I'm not French.

Timelies,
Just skipped a whole bunch. (Surprising, I know).
Sounds like lots of rain and other suck is going on for folks.
My aunt insists that no proper clafouti has pitted cherries, it ruins the flavor.
I don't know what a clafouti is, but the thought of eating anything with unpitted cherries in it makes my teeth hurt.

Personally, my cousin and I have long suspected that she's just lazy and the flavor argument is a cover.
But, in looking through my French cookbook, I see the debate extends beyond my family. I found two cherry clafouti recipes, one with pitted cherries ("Grandmother's" Clafouti—hah, so appropriate) and one without.

I confess that the idea of not having to pit the cherries makes it way more likely that I would make a proper clafouti. But still, it's nuts.

How interesting. The only time I've made clafouti was with peaches, so I guess it was "clafouti".
Tasty, in any case.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I still don't know what clafouti is!

Because books.

Me either.
I did get spam this morning with the subject line: "wrapping paper punish". Now I want to know if the wrapping paper needs to be reprimanded, or if it's coming for me with its cardboard tube.
