I’m excited about owning a cookbook and a vegetable peeler and buying okra. Who am I even becoming?
… but also; persimmons!
@Leucrotta Some one with taste.
@Leucrotta would you like my grandmother's recipe for Persimmon pudding (cake)?
@eredien Yes, please! Currently my only means of eating them are just washing them and eating them raw, or getting the dried persimmons from the store, because I'm some sort of weird weeaboo!
Grandma's Persimmon Pudding
1 pint strained persimmon (~2 cups)
1 c white sugar
1 c self-rising flour (add a little more than 1 cup)
2 eggs, well-beaten
1 stick butter or margarine
1 small can pet milk/evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 c shredded coconut (optional)
Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter and let cool. Mix with sugar, eggs, and persimmon. If using coconut, add coconut. Alternate adding flour and milk; mix well. Add vanilla.
Put in well-greased pyrex square dish or pan.
Cook ~45 min at 350 or until pudding leaves sides of dish. Let cool and slice before serving. Serves 5.
@Leucrotta A worthy ambition, Parsnips are *wonderful*. ^_^
... okay admittedly the answer to "who gets excited about owning a vegetable peeler" is probably "someone who got excited about mashed parsnips without owning a way to peel parsnips," here.
