Marsh Mellow

IMG_6328Blog

We have been mellowed.

But we’re headed home today. First through Fayetteville to visit Matt’s family there and drop off Andrew. Then up I-95 through Richmond to Charlottesville. If anyone wants to have dinner along the way… : )

IMG_6670Blog

Breakfast today featured a few persimmons from a nearby organic farm that Rod gave me. Yay for the tomato kind!

IMG_6663Blog

Chopped and mixed with plain yogurt, banana, strawberries, pineappple, Quaker Squares, granola.

Hopefully the next time we’re here it’s 90 degrees and we can jump right in!

    Tomatoes are so good for you and I just can’t get into them! Ugh, so frustrating. I can deal with them pureed and in sauces, but whole or chopped? Nothx.

    All that fresh fruit looks good though! Have a good day!

    I tried a persimmon and found it tasted really off. I’m not sure if I got a bad one? It made my mouth feel like sand paper and my throat got super dry. It was also super mushy. I feel like there must be better persimmons out there!

      I had the same experience. Kath, how do you get around the drying effect that persimmons have in your mouth?? I had to throw mine away 🙁

        You guys had the ACORN shaped persimmon – which I had once and did NOT enjoy! Apparently they have to be super-duper ripe to be good.

        I eat the TOMATO shaped ones – which are good when they are slightly soft to the touch. No cotton mouth!

    Sorry if this is random but wasn’t sure where else to post this. I know you love okra so next time you put them in the oven, cut them into really small pieces. They end up becoming super crispy and make a yummy soup topper- much like healthy croutons 🙂
