{She Said} Can she bake a cherry pie, Bart-y boy...

I love an occasional slow, cool, sleepy weekend afternoon. 

Because I get the chance to do up something like this...

And when it actually turns out right {like I vehemently hope this one did}, a kitchen triumph almost

 ~ not quite, but almost ~ 

makes up for the hundred and one kitchen disasters that preceded it. 

side note: I foolishly persuaded El Husband to go with me to purchase straight-from-the-farm sour cherries this summer.  The very same ones filling this pie.

The foolish bit?  

The fresh fruit only came in 5-gallon buckets.  

And we bought two. 

{Insert sheepish grin}

Does anyone out there have any good sour cherry recipes?  {Miranda? Natalie? Cheryl?....Anyone?}
