| After a discussion about persimmons in which it seemed the soft hachiya (pear, long shaped) was preferred among the group of 3, I went home and bought 2 hachiya persimmons. Peeled and quartered one of the persimmons and ate it.
Then I experienced chalkiness and numbing.
Rinse, gargle, spit, and google moments later... The warning I never received:
"If you eat the Hachiya type of persimmon before it's completely ripe, you will find it bitter and chalky, and have the strongest mouth puckering experience of your life. It will numb your lips and tongue for a short moment. However, you can avoid this by soaking the persimmon in salt water for a minute before you eat it. The salt will remove most of the bitter taste in your mouth. Alternately, simply wait until the Hachiya persimmon is soft and ripe. Be careful of the seeds."
Lovely.

| always always get the receipt for your cab ride.
hopefully, you'll never need this tip, but should you leave something in a cab, the receipt will contain the medallion number you'll need to quickly have dispatch reach out to the taxicab owner.
