The first thing I started with, Is preparing the vegetable; I sliced tomatoes into very thin wedges, and I also cut the cucumbers into slices, and I chopped 2 green onions, medium-sized into very small pieces.
Step 2:
After that, In a small bowl, I blended together with one part olive oil, one part lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3:
Then, I choose a serving dish and I put in the sliced fresh tomato and chopped onion, then I added on top of them the sliced cucumber.
Step 4:
And finally, I poured the lemon dressing over the salad, and for garnish, I used dried oregano before serving
Yes. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do during my spare time. Watching cooking videos, reading different blogs, and then putting them altogether when cooking is fun once you start practicing. It’ll be hard at first and mistakes will be made, but eventually eating your own creation is a lot more fulfilling than going out to eat.
I do add after the broth - 1 packet of onion mushroom powder soup mix and 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice with as many sliced pepperoncinis that you would like!

well looks like I am going to do a bunch of cooking for my “surprise guests??!!” heheh, cookies, cake, baked turkey, mashed potatoes , gravey, green beans, fried okra, wow gonna be kinda busy??!!
With the winter season we have also winter season fruits in stores like clementines, mandarins, tangerines and of course persimmons . There are two varieties of this fruit (persimmon), the soft ones and the hard ones I believe called Fuyu… I prefer the soft ones to eat as they are sweet and have a developed flavor, the hard ones if they aren’t ripe can be very astringent…
If you ever watched Korean dramas, people offer dried persimmons which is considered a delicacy and it seems it’s also pricey! I’ve seen in a drama a persimmon festival where these orangey fruits are hanging on a string, so today I wanted to know how are they dried.
There are also different ways to dehydrate them, this is a Japanese style of dehydrating. You can checkout more YT videos
The very first time I see a fruit to be massaged in order to dehydrate well
I made hoshigaki last year and I just got a box of persimmons again. Most of them are too ripe to make hoshigaki with, but I’ll see if there are any I can dry.
Massaging them is fun
Never done it with alcohol before though
And you can also dry the peel that you took off and when you store the dried persimmons, put them in a jar with the dried peels on the bottom and on top, if you are planning to keep them for a while. I’ve seen some people do that. It’ll develop more crystalized sugar on the outside, but that happens anyways if you store it for longer times .
I saw another video, the man said some people dip it in hot water (once) or the alcohol likely to kill off bacteria, but he doesn’t do it and they come out well. He showed the sugar crystallization on the persimmon, which looked like powdered sugar.
I’m very surprised you make these, I didn’t think it’s common in Europe, I thought of these since I’ve seen so many in stores and they are expensive, some 95 Swiss Cents or 0.90 Euro a piece!!
Thanks for the tips, I will buy them this year as I’m curious how they taste dehydrated, so far I only dehydrated Reishi mushrooms and apple slices, fond memories when my grandmother made these for me

not really sure of this one…
doesn’t have the strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, and I don’t think sugar should be added, whipped cream for topping maybe
