Persimmons, I haz them
I have a tupper box the size of my head here on my desk.
Full to the lid with organic persimmons that I scored by surprise for $1.29/lbs.
Peeled and cut (I don't like the peel somehow).
Facing the destiny of wandering into my stomach one by one by one.
Crunchy, sweet, orange-y goodness!
Made a large smoothie for the man this morning but what do you know - he tripped on his way out of the door and the orange goo ended up splashed over the wall and carpet. That was probably the only moment ever I thought bad about persimmons. Otherwise I'm all over them!

Yes. I actually have a whole other bowl of them. I eat a LOT of them when they are in season. I can't get enough of them. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and eat two or three....shameful ;-)

Hachiya persimmons are acorn shaped and are ripe when they resemble a delicate water ballon and they are indeed a glob of the tastiest jelly in the world. I don't ever lie, its worth the wait. If you gobble to soon, the tannins in the fruit will taste like soap in your mouth, so impatience is not rewarded with these jokers.
Fuyu persimmon are shaped like a flat pumpkin or tomato and are delicious when fairly soft. They can be eaten crunchy and still taste pretty good, but become delicious when properly ripened.
Probably my favorite fruit next to Durian. I have about 50 of them waiting to ripen right now...

TBH I wouldn't make a pledge on the statement whether or not thee guys are really organic. I go to a grocery store that is more an Asian wet market at times than anything else. They had them in a huge box with a sign "organic persimmons" next to the regular persimmons.
But these guys looked sooo much better than the other ones so I bought them. But yeah no clue where they're from heh.
Nope I like the firm ones. The hachiya type freaks me out. I get about 1-2 per year just to confirm that they're not my type of guy.

Nicole I so love FOTC. I have such a crush on those two
He's still my hero, but I heard the guy was tyrannical and cruel to his family and co-workers. Marlon Brando talked about what a douchebag he was in his book; still though, comic genius.
OK, I guess to me getting rid of anger and envy and fear in ones self before being able to externalize it on a corporate scale just seems common sense as opposed to religious. Is that really religious? Or is it just that he is a Yogi addressing th...
Love love love
Glee you have to watch it and then you can download the songs from i-tunes

Rome was AWESOME, another fantastic HBO series. True Blood is also pretty cool, but I read the books so it's bittersweet for me. Did anyone else catch Carnivale? That was really well done as well.
For a sore throat I mix salt into warm water and gargle with it. Then a warm drink with honey (nut milk, tea). Be well.
