• Leaves, persimmons, and traveling

  
  Natural Gardening — Authority: 129
  Our natural gardening motto is that you can never have too many leaves! (Thanks, Sheila, for the post inspiration.) In spite of having created nice woodland areas in our garden that are almost self-sufficient in their re-mulching capacity, additional leaves are always valuable for soil enrichment. In temperate ...

• From a Forager’s Memoirs: Hachiya Persimmons

  
  Civil Eats — Authority: 573
  Each year, between November and February, slowly and intently, hachiya persimmon altars begin to take root in my North Oakland apartment. They form on my kitchen window sill; on my bedroom dresser; on my dining room table; on my office desk. I fall into the familiar habit of always having one or two persimmons in my ...

• Farmers Market Update: Holiday Weekend

  
  Summer Tomato — Authority: 417
  Leeks and Beets Probably my single favorite thing about Thanksgiving is that no matter what, it is always on a Thursday. This simple temporal restriction gives us three full days to recover from too many mashed potatoes and that extra slice of pie we really didn’t mean to have. It also gives us time to stock up ...

• Once Bitten Frukti

  
  The Eaten Path — Authority: 118
  My host father in Moscow, a self-described “independent contractor,” had a lot of business in the South. He’d go on extended trips to the Ukraine and Georgia, often not returning for weeks. When finally he did return, he’d have fruit baskets in hand, and our apartment would be covered in dozens of persimmons, ...

  So, Frèngo thinks Daniela Dessì can’t sing his Violetta on the opening night at Teatro dell’Opera — basically because she’s not stick-insect thin, to cut a long story short. Shame though she can actually sing the role as she has a rich, beautiful voice (you can see and hear her singing ...

  Coming home down the evening mountain, tired from heavy labors, in the dim light by the roadside I see a bareleafed persimmon tree, laden with bright orange globes like a year of morning suns-- Atop the toppest moves a silhouette of black crow, long beak dipping into soft orange lusciousness-- Ah, the food that colors ...

• A Big Fat Persimmon Lie

  
  Solo Road Trip by Tammie Dooley — Authority: 119
  I’m home tonight.  With no plans to work on any of my assignments due within the next few weeks, or even blog about the latest road trip, I sat down, propped up my feet, and opened the innocent looking package from my husband’s employer regarding medical insurance for 2010. This is not a comedic stand [...]

  My friend D and I took a hike today. I mean, it was one serious hike. We started at the glider port in La Jolla, which overlooks the ocean. I cannot believe that Ive lived here since 1986 and have never been to the glider port! We hiked down the path from there to the ocean. Its fairly steep, but has steps. ...

  After days and days of rain it is beautiful out today. So I strapped Bitsy in the stroller and took the dog for a nice walk around the neighborhood. Up the street our neighbors were in the yard pruning their tree (I thought) when we came back an hour later they were still there. I asked them, "is it a pear tree?" ...

• Farmers Market Update: Last Call

  
  Summer Tomato — Authority: 417
  Last Call On Peppers! It’s getting really cold in the Bay Area, especially at night. That means the last of the late summer produce will be disappearing completely in a week or two: this is your last chance for peppers, tomatoes and eggplants until next summer. To capitalize on this situation I got myself a big ...

  Pomegranates OK, I do not have a photo of a Persimmon from the Farmer’s Market in the Little Italy neighborhood of San Diego.  I am really sorry about that.  Because today I tasted my very first Persimmon.  And liked it very much.  Wikipedia explains that is known as the “fruit of the gods”.

  Food for the Thoughtless — Authority: 107
  If you think these fuyu persimmons seem to be looking wide-eyed off into space, you’re wrong. They’re looking into the future– namely, theirs. Shortly after this photo was taken, they were mercilessly vivisected and consumed by me, the author of this post. I shall be doing the same to their brethren soon on ...

• Persimmons and Chicken Broth? Oh Yes!

  
  breakawaycook — Authority: 113
  Who knew that hachiya persimmon goop and chicken broth went so well together? I got a huge box of on-the-edge hachiyas at the farmers’ market for just a few dollars, and spent about an hour dealing with them: separating the goop from the skins and tops, sieving it, and placing it it one-quart freezer bags for later ...
