The NYT Praises The Quince

[browngirl]

One of the things I love about NYC is continually finding out new things
about it, such as that there are quince trees at the Cloisters. One of the
things I love about WD is that he sends me articles he thinks I'll like,
such as this lovely one about quinces:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/garden/in-praise-of-the-misunderstood-quince-tree.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

(Although I do have a pet peeve: every flipping article about quinces
expresses surprise and dismay that they're not edible out of hand. Sheesh.
This is why we recruited fire so long ago, people.)

Sould I write someo of the people mentioned, do you think? I'm no gardener
or chef, just a girl who loves quinces.

And I think that's why articles say they aren't edible out of hand-- they smell so so so so... that you don't just want to eat one, but to be inside one. Or to be one.

Don't they? God, that ravishing scent. Because I have two wonderful boyfriends who love me and buy me weird fruit, I have a crisper drawer full of quinces in our fridge, and sometimes I just open it and inhale deeply and shut it again. I don't even need to eat one. I just need that lungsful of joy.
