Treat du Jour

I have found a new, delightful treat (which is fortunate because I ate almost all the chocolate out of my brother's freezer and then replaced it and then ate the replacement chocolate and then decided that chocolate should not be brought back into the house until, probably, the night before my brother and his wife come home). So . . . persimmons! Chou and I both bought some on our last adventure. They are perfect, being cheap, pretty, and delicious. I've been eating mine with fresh mozzarella, but persimmons have a certain similarity to melons, so I'm thinking they would be even more fantastic with prosciutto. I need to find out where I can get prosciutto in my neighborhood. Last time I investigated the meat selection at the little shop I normally frequent, they only had bacon, chicken sausage, octopus chunks, and tofu dogs. A persimmon and octopus treat just doesn't have the same appeal.
