The NYT Praises The Quince

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.

I want Mulvian quinces too! There's allegedly an apple that tastes like quince, Cole's Quince is the name of the variety; I once wrote a bunch of orchards about it, but no one who wrote me back had any.

And well, I expressed my quince flailings at length in email. :) One can cook them in savory dishes, but I love them so much in sweets that I tend not to.
