You Say Tomato, I Say Persimmon
Conversation between me and Wendy on the way to the ladies room after too much wine at Madeleine's Wine Bar on Election Night
Me: Is that a plate of tomatoes? *hic*
Wendy: They're persimmons! Not tomatoes.
Me: Should I take one? Are they any good?
Wendy: Here, take this one, it looks ripe.
Me: I better not, I think they're for decoration.
Wendy: No, take it! Take it! It's ripe!
Me: Okay, fine. Let's go. (puts ripe persimmon in purse)
The next day
Me: What the hell is this orange stuff all over my sunglasses case? (wipes it off)
Me: What the hell is orange stuff this all over my wallet? Did I drop pasta sauce in here? (wipes it off)
Me: OMG, there's an exploded persimmon in my purse! (eats a little bit and finds it quite delicious)
The moral of the story: do not put ripe fruit in your purse when you are drunk. Also persimmons taste good.

i'm okay with that, as long as i amuse you. ;)
Mmmm - i bet it was yummy anyways!
Persimmons are one of the most awesome fruits ever. There's a Korean drink made by stewing dried persimmons and ginger together and adding nature's gift to teeth, sugar, to the mix. Heavenly!!!
omg, kirsten, i need to try that drink!!!! ginger is one of my favorite things ever, and i can only imagine that persimmons + ginger + sugar = AMAZING.
