Chopsticks are awesome utensils.

EFFIN A I love maraschino cherries. I can't eat them the way I did when I was a kid (unless I'm drunk I guess) but I still love them and regularly steal them from any bar foolish enough to leave their garnishes within my reach. My favorite part of Cruel Intentions was the giant tureen (or whatever the hell that was!) of maraschino cherries that Katherine (Sarah Michelle Gellar) had beside her bed. Dammit I wish I could find a screen capture of it.

Need to think of some inventive ways to use the juice in cocktails. Before I started drinking I always thought grenadine would taste like maraschino cherry juice. I was sad to discover that it didn't.

Also, holy crap I just looked at the wiki page for maraschino cherries and now I know why almond flavoring always reminds me of cherries--almond extract is used to flavor maraschino cherries. Don't I feel stupid.

There is no point to this post. My head is exploded.
