Wonderful to see you too, Ben. Chicago is good for our favorite britishman, I think.

I’m working on being able to join you in the city of angels in the coming month (where another slushy adventure might be in order)…

That’s truly a stunning picture of our favorite britishman. Wonderful seeing both of you in the windy city. Long live the cherry slushy!

Sean, you definitely can—if you look at the third picture above, the blossoms at the market are still attached to the squash.

Although we are all about decadence here at kthread, I agree that the blossom should remain attached.

John is devastatingly handsome, isn’t he? It was lovely to explore Chicago with such a clever guide.

I’d love to see you and little Ben too—I’ll be around in September and will definitely let you know when. So great to hear from you, and happy summer–

My question about eating squash blossoms is: can you pick them after the fruit has started growing? It just seems so decadent to eat the blossom and lose the squash.
P.S. John Havard is one handsome man.
P.P.S I’d love to see you sometime. Let me know next time you’re in town.
