Welcome to the Book Review Linky Party #17, for December 2025

Welcome to the Book Review Linky Party, a monthly sharing link-up for books! We are so happy that books are once again, back in fashion! And a great way to keep them front and center is to share a review of what you have read, if and how you enjoyed it and if you would recommend that book to a friend! Oh and a story or two of how you came to own or stumbled upon the book would also be fun...because books are for everyone, so let's all enjoy them once again!

In my Homestead Kitchen December. Looking back on November 2025

November, where did you go? Wait, did I say that last month also? Probably, November was not a very exciting month around here. What with so many tasks and chores that needed to be done for the land and on the land. Largely the garden was put to rest for winter, and leaves ( oh my gosh, lots of leaf raking!) are being bagged and saved for spring garden beds. But food? Not real exciting except the potatoes, and sweet potatoes for our Thanksgiving dinner. They were harvested from our garden. That and other tales of life around here as we join Sherry for In My Kitchen.

Persimmon Vinaigrette, not too sweet and simply delicious!

Fall and winter are the perfect time to try persimmons, they are seasonal to our winters here in the states, with a delicious, bright, fruity flavor. Persimmon Vinaigrette is perfect over mixed greens topped with Feta crumbles, or simply spooned over avocado slices...either way, you simply can't go wrong!
