It’s been a while since last time I wrote and entry, simply due to the fact that I haven’t been able to find any “new” fruits around here. This weekend, however, I found big, nice and ripe persimmons. I had no idea what to expect, because it looks more like a tomato and I imagined a somewhat similiar bland taste. But it was actually very sweet and very good! Such a pleasant surprise.
Persimmon is yellowy orange, looks like a tomato and the colour of the flesh is the same as the peel, and it doesn’t have pips or stones (hooray!). The taste is a bit like aprikot with a touch of vanilla.
It contains a lot of carotene, which converts to Vitamin A in the body. 100 g persimmon covers you’re daily recommended intake for Vitamin A. It also contains Vitamin C and minerals, especially potassium.

- Green smoothies (I count this as one, although there are endless ways of combining different fruits and vegs)
- Jessie’s tropical soup
- Herby paté
- Cream of orange soup
I need to try out more recipes. I eat mostly green smoothies and salads these days, and I’m very happy with it, but it’s nice to have some variation once in a while too. I’m thinking about trying out more soups, more creative salads, and other nice additions.

I feel like I’m stealing energy from people by making them fall in love with me, trying to compensate for my lack of self esteem. It doesn’t make me feel any better, though, as I’m incapable of loving someone back, and in general I find it hard to have close relationships to anyone. I don’t know why it’s like this, and I don’t really know how to fix it.
