long time no see

jesus.

since the last time i posted i have no idea what has happened. but i am ready to come back to this full throttle (half throttle?).

i saw these on tastespotting.com and just flipped out. i had never cooked (or eaten) persimmon before but they are so pretty that i have been looking for a way to use them. finally! i found this recipe & had a cocktail party to attend!



so this recipe is a twist on the classic melon & prosciutto combo. the jalepeno was thrown in for a little kick.



you just slice the prosciutto lengthwise, thinly slice seeded jalepeno, & eighth (?) the persimmon into equal sized pieces. i assembled the little bites at my house and then transported them to the venue (house). i don't remember the baking time or temp but it was hot and fast.



people started eating them before i got a chance to take a pretty picture! they were so damn good and i got to wow everybody BECAUSE NONE OF THEM HAD HAD PERSIMMON BEFORE EITHER! so i looked like a boss. (without like any effort, duh)

so i am going to try and do this more often but i am taking classes again and doing kettlebell twice a week (i know wtf). but in april i signed up for a butcher class where i get to hack a whole pig apart! i am totally pumped. okay y'all
