ReplyDeletemmmm cornbread stuffing! do you have a recipe for that??
ReplyDeleteJora, I am so jealous that you have TWO kinds of persimmons just outside your door! I ate them everyday when I was in New Zealand years ago and fell in love, but haven't been able to get them here on the East Coast. We now have a new Whole Foods in town (Annapolis, MD), but even they carry them for only a very limited time, if at all. Too bad. Drooling over your recipes! Thanks for reminding me of them (now I'm both reminiscing and daydreaming!). :) Enjoy!
ReplyDelete@Bridget....I am planning on trying the mix from Trader Joe's!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect! I am glad to find someone else who loves to meal plan. I know it's technically a chore, but I find it a creative outlet. LOL!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Tina
I love that Persimmon salad. I forgot to raid your trees, btw!! PS. I was SO happy to see Honeycrisp back in the stores last week. I've never tried them with aged Gouda though...
ReplyDeleteHow do you make your chicken stock? I just picked up a pastured chicken today and am planning on roasting it a la Gwyneth (the recipe is on GOOP somewhere). I really want to make stock from the carcass but I'm intimidated!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just realized I've never had a persimmon, ever. Whoa.
jessica....stock is really, really easy. it just takes some time (very little effort though). it's my favorite part of roasting a chicken. plus you get so much more out of it this way.....throw the carcass in your largest pot with an onion cut in half, a carrot, a celery stalk, a couple peppercorns, some parsley if you have it. Cover with water (by at least a couple of inches). bring slowly to a boil and skim the scum that rises to the surface. then put on the tiniest simmer for about 3 hours (or more). key is slow, slow slimmer so it doesn't get cloudy. strain and add salt. so healthy (all the good stuff from the bones!) and really delicious.
ReplyDeletebeautiful persimmons in a basket! I want some. I love seeing your meal plan. I am all about the chicken stock as well.
ReplyDeleteLove persimmons;) Let us know how the mix from TJ's turns out- I have always wanted to try it..
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, this all sounds so good! Your family is lucky to have you cook such yummy dinners for them :)
