While I was living in China, I was given a box of about 50 persimmons. I pureed them and added them to some bisquick pancake mix... It was totally cheating, I know, and I would have made them from scratch if it wasn't so hard to find things like baking powder! They were pretty yummy and nice for fall.

If I could have a hot dog right now it would be with mustard and onions. Unfortunately here in Durham, England where we currently live, the only hot dogs around come floating in a jar. Ick. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| Summer Grill: In Praise of the Hot Dog Flag this comment	7/9/09 2:15 PM
I live in the UK and wouldn't survive without a kitchen conversion table that I tore out of a food magazine before we moved here. You could find a really thorough one and laminate it for her.

My husband and I leave for Florence this Thursday and I can't wait. I studied in Florence during college, but as it has been a few years I'm dying to know what has changed and what hasn't! You should definitely eat at Mario's for lunch. Its a tiny place next to ZaZa's near the Mercato Centrale. You sit at communal tables and order daily specials from either the menu board or by pointing at others' dishes! Not food related but nice to do... take an afternoon/evening trip up to Fiesole to stroll, enjoy the views, and take in a sunset over Florence. You can take the #7 bus, if I remember correctly. The Boboli Gardens is beautiful for a stroll, or for a show. I saw an evening outdoor ballet there and it was fabulous. And you should definitely go up to Piazza Michelangelo to watch the sunset. Go up early, I think around 5, to hear the monks chant at San Miniato al Monte, a Romanesque cathedral a bit past the Piazza. It's not hard to have a lovely time!
