silly season

subtitled 'artichoke and cherry' season. Those being two of my all time favourites, and both have incredibly short find-them-fresh seasons in JHB. So as a result, after a week or so of dithering about the high prices, I realise that they won't get any less expensive and dive in while they are still around. Have now eaten artichokes for the last 5 meals. Hot. Cold. With hollandaise and creme fraiche and mayonnaise. And am wondering whether I can actually face another day of green stuff without puking. They're vegetables, ergo they must be good for me. Just wish I could put them into suspended animation for a few months, until my appreciation for them has been renewed...
