Edibles in the Californian Garden

Although winter has arrived in Anchorage, nobody sent the memo to southern California. The clime's good enough for outdoor grilling and trees are even bearing fruit. My parents had a sizeable persimmon crop this year, which I would be packing in my suitcase if it weren't for the TSA and the Californian fruit fly problem.

The pomegranate tree isn't doing bad this year either. My dad and I spent the morning picking those that were ready to join us inside.
