A rich dessert.<BR/><BR/>And my new favourite word? Bletted?

Here in the US seems the fuyu is the one I find more often and easily during this time of the year.<BR/>My 5-year old tried some last week and loved it too, he now keeps saying that persimmons and strawberries are his most favorite fruits!!<BR/>They are yummy, aren't they?!!!<BR/>AnaAnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059525939843970727noreply@blogger.com
