Persimmon Bread and Shop Projects

 


Made my persimmon bread yesterday. The recipe makes two loaves, but I've got enough puree for two more, so that's on the agenda for this morning. At least two of them will go in the freezer. If it wasn't for the fact that it makes a mess of the kitchen, I'd pick some more and make a couple more loaves. Just as well I don't, not all that good for the waistline.
 
While the bread was baking, I made a big pot of soup with the root veggies I got this week from the CSA. About a half-hour of peeling, slicing and sauteing, add the vegetable broth and seasonings, then let it simmer for a couple of hours - leftovers go in the freezer as well.


  I got another job to do for the guy whose boat I welded on a month ago. He's installing a console that came off another boat, so needs some modifications. I'll work on that today after I get my bread in the oven.


I finished up the VW engine stand yesterday, as well. Looks good with the fresh coat of paint - now we just need to get the engine out of the back of the trailer and onto the stand.


The wife's sister also brought me a welding job yesterday - cast iron chicken bell mount. Man, they're going to miss me when I'm gone.

I like to think it's in addition to my charming personality and handsome good looks.
