Really enjoying the fresh Plums right now, they go on pretty much everything ... Celebrities don't suck either, all my sammiches get a slab. The Herb Garden has become key. Fresh Basil and Italian Oregano with tomatoes and a chunk of Mozz is a showstopper. I don't worry about keeping the birds out of the garden, it's the neighbors that are the problem. If you are looking for new varieties to try. Cherokee Purple and Mortgage Lifter are two heirlooms (beefsteaks) worth giving a shot. Cherokees are the best flavor there is. The Mortgage Lifter are even bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you gave the date when Vai Sikahema punched the goal post padding, you went into my hall of fame. I gotta be honest here. I don’t remember doing that, nor do I remember the date. I know I was at the game with a close friend of mine from college who is a big Giants fan. And we were sitting in the opposite end zone. I think Kent Graham was the quarterback for the Giants that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then being woke and high jacking the blog about gender indentity last week or the week before. If you’re gonna be a baby, have your facts straight. Has nothing to do with cooking. JFC. Hate me all you want but be accurate with your hate. I wasnt triggered about the hand gesture I was having a good time with it. I was a frequent recipient of the circle game as a teen.( Not that circle game)😳 Seems you were triggered about it as a civil discussion led you to call me woke and he/she/them and infer that me cooking for my fam made me less than... As for gender identity, again I didn't bring it up, I feel like there were some good conversations about it from those who are mature enough to talk about it The whole he/she/ them pronoun thing is really confusing to me and I'm trying to understand it better as I try and recognize my own prejudices towards that whole thing. As for hate, I don't hate you, though I think you would like that, negative attention is better than no attention right?

I like San Marzano a little more for sauces, but the Amish are a little better for fresh tomato and olive oil as well as for bruschetta. I don't have the patience to make my own sauce from fresh, so I do fresh tomato sauces for pasta when the tomatoes are in season using the Amish Paste. And then out of season, I use canned San Marzano. Where do you get Amish Paste seeds. Never had one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fortunate that the Amish Paste are popular around me and a few nurseries even do starts, so that I don't have to start them from seed. It is a nice head start without any fuss.

Amish Pastes are bigger than a standard 'plum'. Which is one of the things that I like about it. And if you like stuffed tomatoes, they are a great size for that. Tricky part is that they have fairly pointed ends, so you kind of need to pack them in fairly tight to the baking dish so that they hold each other in place while baking.

He put me in my place with power, grace and style. I just don't want to work in his factory. It was regarding Cunningham’s 91 yard punt against the Giants. You said it was a quick kick on third down. I argued that it was a regular punt on fourth down. To back up my claim, I asked why the Giants would have running back Dave Meggett (the return man who let the ball roll and roll...and roll some more) on the field on third down. You quickly acknowledged the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lose about 15% to birds, squirrels etc. Always get some deadloss to insects. The larger varieties tend to suffer the most in terms of degradation prior to harvesting in my lil garden. Hard to grow those big Beefeaters and Rutgers Champs, etc. They are the first ones the predators go after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seem to be more prolific for me than the California ever were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
