If you are ever in my area, I would honored to cook and bake something for you, Wild Coyote! I love cooking and baking, and doing many things Martha Stewart enjoys. I'm honored to be compared to her, though I'm not quite to her level. I will say I've never been involved with insider trading, so I guess that's one thing I have up on her

Cherry pie really does rock! My family has always loved it. My dad still has a sour cherry tree on his property, but sometimes the birds claim all of them. The cherries I used in the quick bread I mentioned are sweet cherries. They've been quite cheap in the grocery store lately. Recently, I bought a $6 cherry pitter. It is my current toy. I love anything housewares or kitchenwares oriented.

You're kind what you said about my writing. I really love blogging, but you are right on the money about pressure to write. I've gone through periods when I could write several page pieces almost every day of the week. Then, it just stops. I'm not depressed or unmotivated. There are other factors contributing to my recent writer's block.
