You probably know that I have a thing for chili. 90% dark is hard core! I don't think I've ever tried it. 85% is the darkest I've ever gone ;) I'm with you on the small kitchen. Matt and I call it our Barbie Kitchen :) Your chili looks and sounds delicious. You probably know that I have a thing for chili.

I think it may be just a different variety? There seems to be a lot of them. P.S. As a heads up, I tried a muffin last night and they were really dry, probably because I skipped the applesauce and overcooked them. They also weren't as "decadent" as I was hoping. Chocolate protein powder isn't a good replacer for cocoa powder, maybe better as an "addition" on top of everything else. Each muffin does have 7g of protein though! :) Ellie, when I was looking up info on perimmons, they were also listed as Sharon fruit. I think it may be just a different variety?

I thought they were the same, but was in the store and they had both- the persimmons were larger, but otherwise looked identical. I have only had sharon fruit, but always ate the skin. Let me know how the muffins turn out- I have some chocolate protein powder here just begging to be used :D Cooking V baking- used to be cooking, but now I HATE it. No idea why. Stresses me out and I am too impatient for stuff to cook while I stand over the stove. Baking I *like* but am not very good at it! YEAH crack wraps...even when not followed with a 'wassssaaaaaaaaaaaa'-p :P Are persimmons different from sharon fruit?

Fist, thanks for de-lurking, and secondly, thanks for chiming in! :) I remember reading now that unripe persimmons were very unpalatable. Although, I wasn't quite picturing *that* :P I actually didn't mind the crunchy texture, but you've just solidified that I must find this soft variety! Hi Barbara!
