http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/is_there_anything_better_than_cherries No. Except maybe Angela Garbes, who has been making me salivate in this bitsy column for the past several weeks. This week's is about fava beans, which is convenient since my Pioneer Organics dropped some evil-looking bulgy fava beans on my porch yesterday and without Angela I would not have known that these are relatively old fava beans. Now I know which Alice Waters recipe to try. (Actually, I cheated on Angela and just bought a recommendation of Mark Bittman's. I'll be making basil-fava pasta courtesy of Patricia Wells.) Back to cherries. There isn't much to say about cherries....

They make me gassy.

We had four cherry trees on the farm I grew up on and every year I would spend an hour or so barefoot in the dirt picking the best ones right off the trees. *sigh* I miss tree ripened fruit. Cherries were my favorite and plums came in a close second.

It'll give us something to do on these long, slow afternoons (aside from reading Slog, of course).

Decided to take a job at summer camp instead. Ahhh, irresponsible youth.
But I'm still a customer of theirs. Good stuff.

Yes. Oh, but it's so nice when customer service comes to me! The fava beans are fine, I think. But if not, I'll email.

While it may not be fresh basil directly from someone's garden, it's still usable for this purpose. Another possibility is to buy a basil plant and, instead of putting it in the ground, clipping off what you require when making the recipe. Hey, if you have enough basil left over (a few leaves) then set the rest of the plant in a window, water it and enjoy basil throughout the summer.
