  1. Would love to try your stone fruit recipes but, because of the unusually cold Janurary weather we had in British Columbia, Canada, we won't be having a stone fruit harvest. The only fruit that survived are the cherries and they don't have any flavour so I won't even be making my cold cherry soup this year. It is going to be 94 degrees F. tomorrow and the ice cold cherry soup would have been appreciated.
