We're going out to dinner with another couple this evening and I offered to make a dessert. I thought after we eat we could come back here and have dessert and coffee. I've also been wanting to try my hand at preparing a new dessert - Persimmon Nut Roll. Oh my! It is delicious! I've made a pumpkin roll before as well as an ice cream roll and I'm adding this to my repertoire. It's really good and pretty too! It's very holiday-ish looking and to be honest, not a whole lot of trouble. I've always found it difficult to find good persimmon recipes. Now, I have Persimmon Pudding, Persimmon Cookies, Persimmon Christmas Cake and Persimmon Nut Roll. I'll put the recipe on my Recipes page.
We've been busy as bees here at the ranch! Hubby has been mowing and I've been doing laundry and baking. We're going out to dinner with another couple this evening and I offered to make a dessert.

This weather makes me just want to wander around breathing the fresh, cool air, feeling the wind rush against my face. This is my favorite time to hike and I so enjoy working in the herb garden during Fall weather. I went out and checked the fig tree and while I was out there, I decided to cut a bouquet of flowers for the dining table. There won't be flowers available for very much longer I'm afraid. One really cool item is the fact that the Pineapple Sage which is now over 5 feet tall is at last blooming and that means there will be nectar for the few straggling hummingbirds left in the area. I will also be trimming leaves from the plants to dry for this Winter. The scent of this plant is truly one of the finest pineapple scents around. See the orange placemats? They are over 40 years old. They actually used to be all the rage. My brother's first wife bought them for me and I appreciated her kindness then and every time I've used them since. They are washable and I have used used these at least once every Fall since the day I got them. I like them and they scream "Fall"!! They may be old - but so am I.

AuthorMy name is Nina. Southern Indiana has been my home since 1952. I've been a legal secretary most of my adult life and for my leisure time I enjoy everything connected to the world of herbs and cooking is almost like a "fever". I am also quite opinionated but try not to push my opinions on others. My family is grown and I'm left with a wonderful hubby sharing life with me. I'd guess you'd say my passion is living that life to the fullest. Archives
