Advent Calendar: December 1

It’s already the first of December?! Time to kick off the advent calendar. This year’s theme: favorite simple things about the holidays.

Fuji persimmons are a new favorite this year. We brought home a big bag from Rob’s grandmother’s ranch last weekend. I guess I’d only had the bitter acorn-shaped Hongsi before. These are delicious eaten just like an apple.

And they look stunning in a celadon bowl.

Very good! Really sweet. Just make sure to get the round, instead of the acorn, shaped fruit.

Do you want more? Cuz my tree is blooming and I have a ton! 🙂 Don't know if they taste any good or not, but they're the round flat ones.
