[A super late post from NYE]
I frantically called my mom the afternoon of NYE asking for ideas to make an easy dip for a NYE party. I didn’t have much time to plan ahead because work kept me busy but mom came to the rescue! She saw this recipe on Show Me The Curry and she has made this a bunch of times. She adds her own twist to eat each time she makes it and its always super delicious. I guess I get my “I can’t follow a recipe” from her and how ironic that I have a recipe blog!
Anyway, this dip turned out delicious and only took me 20 minutes to put together. This is definitely a crowd pleaser…perfect for any party.

The Mess I Make readers,
Devina and I met a few years ago and we connected right away. We started having lunch and shopping dates, we love watching rom-coms, we both enjoy popcorn and tea during movies, and share our love for Ryan Gosling. We grew closer and closer and next thing I know, I was part of her wedding this past September.
Devina makes great food whenever we have potlucks and this dish is certainly delicious! She posted a picture of Zucchini Crisps on Instagram and I fell in love with the idea. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

During our nightly social network catch-up sessions while hubby and I were on vacation, I saw that Recipris (a fantastic vegetarian food/recipe blogger) had posted on her Facebook page that she was in Bali, which happened to be our next destination! I got super excited and asked hubby if it would be weird if I asked her to meet me while in Bali. He encouraged the idea and next thing we know is that we're sharing laughs with the newlyweds, Priya (author of Recipris) and her husband, Raman, over dinner. I'm so glad I took the initiative of reaching out to her because she is a sweetheart and so is her husband.

My sister-in-law recently tweeted, "Persimmons may be tied for best fruit with mangoes." That's a bold statement but I might have to agree with her. I call Persimmons, "The 'mango' of the Fall."
I was introduced to persimmons about a year ago and I had to research this fruit since I had never heard of it before. So basically there are two main kinds of this beautiful orange fruit: Fuyu - short and eaten when they're firm, Hachiya - "peach-shaped" and eaten when they're soft. Both are quite similar in taste but have different textures.
