I hope everyone has been enjoying their Tuesday off. I have been editing and merging contact lists all morning. L Boo…. I would much rather be outside enjoying this amazing weather we’re having. The sun is shining bright and the wind is blowing calmly, I wish there was a way to move my desk outside to take advantage of it. Sigh
This morning while I was editing and merging, I had a great snack of Smoked Turkey Meat and Kashi Crackers.
I made little Kashi, Turkey sandwiches. Yum.
The main element for lunch today was ‘something old’ I heated up some leftover Acorn Squash Lasagna from Sunday night.
On the side I went for ‘something new’
I am not sure what these little babies are called. I’m pretty sure the sticker is proclaiming a shortened version for what they are officially called. I have seen Maggie eat them for dessert on her blog, so when I saw them at the store I decided to give it a shot. So I cut it up today and put it on the side of the Lasagna to bulk my lunch up just a tad.
I probably could have let the fruit sit out to ripen a little longer. (I was not sure how firm it had to be to eat, so I just guessed.) But, it does have potential. I was almost expecting it to taste like a tomato, but it almost had the same sweetest as an apple, but with an odd texture to it. I will have to buy one another time and try to cook with it. It would probably make some killer salsa. J
It will be a fun night in the kitchen tonight as I attempt to create my BSI recipe for the week. The idea actually came to me in my weekly meeting with my supervisor yesterday. I wonder if she noticed when I started jotting down random notes about Sweet Potato? Hmmm… nah.
Love the lasagna!!
**You ate a persimmon as the “something new” 😀
Good luck with the rest of your day – hope you can get some sunshine soon!!
It is a persimmon and i love them! If you let it ripen a bit longer (soft to touch), it will taste really sweet and is great paired with greek yogurt.
I am also working (umm…procrastinating?) today, if that makes you feel better.
Yay for persimmons! Yeah, I like to let them get pretty soft before eating them. I used to make this really good silken tofu dip with PB and apple butter and I haven’t made it in forever but it’s on my blog somewhere… and It goes really well with them.
Have a great day 🙂
that lasagna is food porn-quality!! ooh, i first tried a persimmon last year! yeah, best to get pretty soft, and fuyu is a variety, there’s also hiyacha i think, but you’re not supposed to eat the skins of those if i am remembering correctly 🙂
wow, that lasagna looks even better the second time around!! I’ve never tried a persimmon, I wouldn’t know what to do with it, haha. Hopefully I’ll see them at the farmers market and get to ask someone
I don’t like persimmons. I tried a sample at the Farmer’s Market last week and didn’t think it was sweet enough. Glad you tried something new 🙂 that’s fun!
I think you ate a persimmon! 🙂
That lasagna still looks as good as the first time you ate it!
I always see strange produce at the store I want to try! I need to just go for it and start buying them!
yum! i love persimmons! especially those ones..you can eat them like apples, but i let them get a little softer…and then it’s like sweet and soft and delish!
I have sweet potatoes on the mind, too!
Lasagna looks so good even as leftovers.
We’re having sweet potatoes for part of our dinner tonight! (made in the crock pot!!)
umm agreed on the everyone else having the day off thing. i’ve got class today and i tried to run errands afterward and everywhere i needed to go was closed! so sad.
i can’t get over how good that lasagna looks, even left over.
I love persimmons. They’re so good if you leave them out for a week.
I’m stuck at work today 🙁 I didn’t realize a lot of people had the day off. Boo.
Yeah, i thought it was a persimmon! Sounds unique and tasty. Im excited to see your BSI recipe! Good luck surviving the rest of your work day.
persimmon persimmon persimmon!!! i actually really don’t like them, lol, but my mom has loved them FOREVER. hehe…i think for them to be ripe they need to be a little soft at the touch…kinda like a kiwi or a peach. 🙂
can’t wait to see your bsi!
So THAT’S what a persimmon is!
Persimmon!!! ahhaha.. seriously Erin!
HAHA cracking up about jotting down notes about the BSI 🙂 cant wait to see what it is!
