Wowee ! All sorts of info.......you are the best ! I'll check out the links and have some fun with it. And, if any of you are around Paso Robles, CA when they get ripe........and want some........... Kathy

I can see a pattern developing here ! LOL Yummy!

Oh man........!!!

Thank you ! These are are the conical ones called Hichaya (?) I think. I wonder if they have to be very ripe to be palatable..........

I have never eaten a persimmon ...........not cake, pudding, jam, etc. Now I am in a new house and I can see that I'll have a huge crop when they ripen. How do I know when they are ripe? What then?

My neighbor gave me a huge bag of just softening figs (maybe 50?) and I need any and all suggestions ! I usually just have 4-6 from our own tree so I split them, top with a little goat cheese, honey and black pepper and grill. Or use in salads........

DITTO !

that's very diplomatic of you. i agree. i can't say which i prefer. but i think we;re looking to have some shit disturbed ← ACK...........mustard...............

Snowangel's Larb preceded by an astonishing Cucumber Infused Gin and Tonic I didn't think I LIKED gin...............!!!

oh wow - i forgot about that one! except i use currant jelly and mustard for my sauce. ← Cranberry sauce and tomato sauce in our house.........with meatballs.

I sure love looking at all of the lovely food porn but I wonder............ Does everyone here eat like this EVERY day........or do you all weigh 500 lbs.........or do you have metabolisms like Ling? I CRAVE almost every dish in these posts.....but would allow myself maybe one time a week. HOW do you all DO it ? K

I love broiled pb sandwiches............ butter and brown sugar mooshed up and put under the broiler until brown (careful ! burns easily!) My favorite breakfast with my sister on Saturdays when watching cartoons (and the parents were sleeping) (It's OK, she is older!)

Ditto ! All of the above except sardines. And the salmon patties were served with canned peas in cream sauce..............

Waldrug---Is that some sort of "green"-less pharmacy with a counter? You did such a good job with the others...please expostulate. ← http://www.walldrug.com/ I don't even know if I can describe it... it's kind of like a Chuck E Cheese meets the old west! People dressed up in bad pioneer costumes, bad American Indian "artifacts," bad old-fashioned soda fountains with bad old-fashioned milkshakes... I could go on and on! Believe it or not, people go out of their way to go there... we were just passing by! ← OMG......... laughing, crying , wheezing............ they have JACKALOPES !!!! Gotta love it..........

"Mom's"

No, not really..............

Any food commercial featuring slurping and chewing...........URK ! NOTHING will make me change the channel faster.........

You mean Big Sky Cafe, right? Nice but I always think their stuff needs more salt ! (easy enuf) Kinda depends on what you are looking for......... I agree.......Paso is the best bet for GOOD restaurants ! Edited to make a Paso comment......

Maybe Guilty Pleasures ? Edited for stupid spelling........

Known as "Egg in a Hat" (??) in our house......still my 21 year old's favorite "Mommy" food OMG.....that sounds so good it should go in the Guilty Pleasures, thread ! I gotta try this on Sunday !

Oh shit................

elyse, tell me this is a joke!!! NEVER joke about Silpats. Silpats are not a subject for jokes, I agree! The idiot at your school outta be expelled . . . I told him to meet me outside by the hopscotch court at 3:00, but I bet he chickened out and volunteered to clean erasers instead. Brown noser! Maybe I'll volunteer him to debone a frozen leg of lamb.... ←

I LOVE the concept~not being a very 'sweet' person.....all of those sound great to me!

Has anyone had the La Lechera Dulce de Leche? It is an in-the-can carmelized version of condensed milk (you know how you cook it in the can for hours..........) Eaten with a spoon while looking guiltily around..................

Pulled pork sandwich.............. vinegary sauce, lucious tomato and brocoslaw (my nod to antioxidents!) on a soft whole wheat bun........... dripping with porky goodness
