You are not supposed to bite into a Hachiya (?) persimmon until it's really really REALLY ripe- almost mushy, otherwise you'll get the gross taste that you did. Give the persimmon another try, and let it really ripen, ok?bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710406103598761862.post-37150598181863255502007-11-21T20:39:00.000-05:002007-11-21T20:39:00.000-05:00oh no!! sorry that your sister took your camera ca...oh no!! sorry that your sister took your camera cable :0(<BR/><BR/>I feel the same way - the holidays are all about family time for me. my mom and I do all the cooking for each holiday event, and then we have about 20+ family/friends over to celebrate. and hey, I adopted a turkey, so at least ONE turkey's life has been saved!! :0)<BR/><BR/>I've never tried persimmons... I definitely won't try them now, haha.LizNoVeggieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785142908687097216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710406103598761862.post-6377987505763258322007-11-21T10:46:00.000-05:002007-11-21T10:46:00.000-05:00I thought I was against Thanksgiving, but then I r...I thought I was against Thanksgiving, but then I realized American tradition does not have to be followed. I am no fan of the bloody, violent history, nor am I a fan of what goes on in the bloody, violent factories. I hate the thought of over-eating as well. As my mum always said, 'Waste not, want not!'<BR/><BR/>But you're right- it is a good feeling to spend time with family. REAL quality time. I am against sitting at a table with a poor bird's roasted carcass dead center, but I am all for breaking bread with my family, chatting, hanging out, having a few drinks and a few laughs. Life is so short and if Thanksgiving is a perfect time for a family get-together (mostly because people get time off from work and school) then so be it!Ashasaralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082289090991930433noreply@blogger.com
