As boxed mac 'n' cheeses go, the Kraft Deluxe version, with the cheese sauce in a pouch, is best. The downscale version with the powdered cheese is just vile.

It's that time of the year again .....
Our annual cherry massacre took place today ;D :laugh:

LOL Chrissi!!
When I first saw the picture I thought you'd been attacked by a cat or sumthin!! ;D ;D
Are your cherries already ready to pick? This early?
Penthesilea:
As usual, the whole family was involved. Everybody put on their oldest/ugliest clothes and busied themselves with picking cherries. My youngest was allowed to join the picking, and climb up a ladder, for the fiirst time this year. He was proud!
After a while, the four of us (kids + yours truly) went to the next station: pitting the cherrries and putting them through the meat mincing machine, while hubby continued to pick.
I pitted the cherries by hand, that's why I am the dirtiest :laugh:. The girls took turns with pitting by machine and being gofer while my son ran the meat mincer. At good last, hubby cooked the whole stuff to jam while I cleaned up. That's teamwork. Now I'm happy to have it behind me for another year. :D
Already full of cherry splashes, but it got even worse. ::)
Self-portrait before running for the shower. :laugh:

Yes, it's the regular time now. Last year it was a little later, because spring came very late. But this year, it's back to normal.
Thankfully this year our tree didn't bear as many cherries as usual. I don't know why, and I don't need to know, I'm just thankful for it. There are still plenty cherries high above, where we can't reach. And no dog anymore, who keeps the ground clean from the cherries that fall down. He ate them all every year. :laugh:
