Default Persimmon doings

So far I've pulped and pureed eleven cups of persimmon puree. Three cups
were used in making two different persimmon cakes, both turned out well
but I preferred the sheet cake to the bundt one. Tomorrow I will make
some persimmon jam, been awhile since I've done that. Tonight's dessert
will be simmon puree that has been frozen and then slightly thawed, we
like to eat them that way.

The dilemma is I still have about two dozen simmons ripening on the
counter. Food processor is getting quite a workout these days.

Has turned off cool (51F at wake-up time) and windy down here. First
time I've had long pants on since last March. Tilly Dawg is at the vet's
getting spayed so it's rather quiet around here today, no high speed rat
terrier tearing through the house carrying her critter and squeaking it.

Get out your map of the USA and look for a little city called Sulphur,
Louisiana. We've lived here since 1988 and it's an okay place to live.
About 35,000 good people and another dozen who aren't very good. Low
crime rate, low fire rate, but surrounded by chemical plants and
refineries. Which was lucky as I worked in those places for more than 45
years.

South is about right, we're in USDA Zone 9b, nearly sub-tropical. We get
from 40 to 100 inches or rain a year and the state is primarily
agricultural, rice, cotton, soy beans, cattle, etc. We live in the
industrial part along Interstate Highway 10.

I grew up about 35 miles west of here in Texas where Miz Anne and I
lived for the first 15 years of our marriage. Since then we've lived all
over the world and seen wondrous things in our travels. Still, I'm happy
to be living where I am now. Come and visit, the front door is seldom
locked. May be because of that "Armed Resident" sign on the door.

LA is the two-letter abbreviation for Louisiana, so that's the one.

LA is the approved state abbreviation for Louisiana. Is that what you're
seeing? Louisiana is between Texas and Mississippi and Arkansas is at
the top of the state.
