Plums

Several weeks ago, I bought fresh plums from the grocery.  I personally do not know how to eat them.  I tried them before but I have forgotten.  Do you eat them with the skin?  How do you know if it is ripe enough?

Instead of dwelling on that, here I am searching for recipes.  I think I will try this out tomorrow.

Plum Quick Bread recipe snagged from Allrecipes.com.  

3 eggs
2 (6 ounce) jars plums or plum with apple baby food
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsps baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, baby food, oil and buttermilk.  Combine the dry ingredients; add to the egg mixture and mix till moistened.  Transfer to 2 greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

However, I don't plan on using baby food.  I just might mash some apples with the plums.  I can't wait for the result.  I am hoping for another best-seller from Cathy's Kitchen.

We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
