Spontaneous “live” hang out while I fumblingly cut persimmons to make vinegar so I talk about well, persimmons and such
yet also about various upcoming festive plans including:
Santa Claus “method actor performances” at the community center which connects to the family history, which leads to accordions and Morse code
Then the preschool event and the power of well organized Japanese women (seriously)
Also the plans in mind for a “casual Christmas lunch” buffet style, cheap and cheerful, different guest list to fit this year’s themes and time
Plus few other dishes in mind for stashes for hangouts during the festive time during which I’m really eager to actually relax and have fun (ha ha says fate)
Oh and a bus trip to somewhere nearby Hot Springs by my beloved transportation company, Uno bus
PS head scarf, apron and loungewear all matching but that’s not the important part – or is it?
also, there’s lots more diary posts from years past making persimmon vinegar, chutney, jams, and various concoctions with ume – I’m just not sure what link to give you but you’re clever, you’ll find if you want to
