Alice, your persimmon custard looks outrageous--wish I could taste it. I will try to post a little more often-- it's great to hear that kind of encouragement. Now it's about once a week, but I'll see if I can get it up to 6 or 7 per month. Thanks for all the sweet comments, everyone.

Karena, speaking of using up some 5 spice powder, I just found this recipe last week. It's a Dorie Greenspan recipe. http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2008/11/spiced_cranberry_bundt_cake I would like to see you post more often as your cooking really inspires me.

I love the fact that reading your posts (especially those where you mention local markets, produce and places) makes me want to come back to California! Hi Eric,

I'm learning a lot from your posts and all the comments from the community. I like all the variety of topics you cover (products and events as well as your magic in the kitchen). I do NOT want more vegetarian recipes, but that's just me. If anything more recipes with grains and breads. Those ads were bugging me too. From what I've been reading about that stuff you're supposed to constantly monitor and adjust them to make them work correctly which is a job in and of itself. There are all kinds of other tactics that marketing types do with those ads, but again, we'd rather you just make art instead of deal with marketing on your blog. Perhaps later on, you'll get some free time and be able to find a better solution to this. I personally love your blog and all I want to see is MORE entries.

If you call today's persimmon eggs "orange fluffy eggs" or something intriguing, I'm betting your little one will like them. They have just enough sweetness to interest children!

Also, being a vegetarian with a love for odd and new things, what originally drew me to your blog was the macha salts, but I have to admit, with the recent focus on meat-based fare, I haven't been drawn to spend much time with you (grin). Today's recipe on the other hand is making me wanting to try it out this sunday. I'm wondering if my 4 1/2 year old would eat it. All said though, you have to be what you are best at being, and that is you... as somebody (I gather rather important) said: Do what you love to do and they will come.. (never mind that it might take a while. Eric, I love the new design… and being a sucker for good design, I approve.
