Hi Dave,
RH> We stopped growing tomatoes when we realised we were gone most summers
RH> when they came ripe. Could have done it this past summer, just never
RH> got `round tuit. We tried, at the rental house, but deer got to them
RH> just as they came ripe.
DD> As I don`t travel much that`s not a problem for me. Bv)= And we
DD> don`t have much of a deer population - Buick bumpers seem to keep
DD> their herd
DD> size low. Main pains here are tree rats (squirrels) and raccoons. But
DD> with the raised beds the `coons cease to be a problem.
We`ve got lots of squirrels. The deer are there but we don`t see them
that often. The town keeps clearing out their habitats to build more and
more housing so it sort of surprises me that we don`t see more than an
occaisional one.
DD> 8<----- JUMP SHIFT ----->8
DD> It didn`t smell funky when I punctured the plastic. So, Jasper (the
DD> pit bull mix) enjoyed it very much. With no side effects.
RH> Good that the dog had no reaction. We`ve had older stuff in the freezer
RH> but kept frozen, it hasn`t gone bad so we`ve eaten it with no problem.
DD> Had that sausage been in the freezer it would have become the basis
DD> for a nice red gravy toput over pasta. I bought it on special offer
DD> intending to do just that but got sidetracked then forgot about it.
DD> Senior moment.
Seems like we`re all getting more and more of those. (G)
DD> 8<----- CLIP ----->8
DD> As I said - regular carbon steel knives are a piece of cake. But the
DD> stainless steel chef`s knives and santoku are beyond me. Never thought
DD> of scissors. But, then I don`t sew all that much. Bv)=
RH> Count up how many pairs of scissors/shears you have for normal
RH> household/shop use; you might be surprised at the total. Some years ago
RH> my younger brother cleaned out an aunt`s apartment. He was surprised to
RH> count 35 pairs of scissors/shears (35) but she also sewed. A while
RH> later, I took some of her things and when we got back to NC, started to
RH> go thru them. I found another pair of scissors but didn`t tell him. (G)
DD> One big "tin snip", one set of kitchen shears (big scissors), a beard
DD> trim scissors in the bathroom and four scissors from 6" length to 10".
DD> Not to mention an old (and unused big pinking shears that I inherited
DD> from my mum.
I`ve got my grandma Weiss`s sewing scissors; Mom had them but Dad told
me to take them when Mom went into the nursing home.
DD> One reason to raise your own tomatoes:
DD> Title: Green Tomato Pie DD> Categories: Pies, Pastry,
RH> Fruits, Citrus DD> Yield: 6 Servings
RH> Looks interesting, might try it next year.
DD> In normal years my `mters produce right up to frost time. But the last
DD> few years we`ve not had a killing frost until sometime in December.
DD> errrrmmmm .... Ground Control to Donald Trump - That`s climate change!
I think we had our killing frost a couple of weeks ago.
DD> This year we`ve had one frost - just enough to tell the grass in the
DD> yard that it`s time to stop growing and take a nap. Yesterday we had
DD> rain all day. I had a customer (for wiper blades) at the Zone who was
DD> crying about all the rain so I asked him what month we were in. Then
DD> said "Think what that could be." Followed by "We`ve got a cart right
DD> over there with ice scrapers, snow brushes, collapsible shovels and
DD> ice melt for your sidewalks." I didn`t tell him that AFAIK we`ve not
DD> made a sale other than starting fluid from that display this year.
Give them a few weeks and the cart will empty out fast, every day. (G)
DD> This was supper last night - promoting it from "archives" to DD>
"kitchen". It`s a keeper. And Jasper (the big dog) liked helping clean
DD> the baking DD> vessel. Bv)=
DD> Title: 3-Ingredient Lemon Chicken
DD> Categories: Five, Poultry, Citrus, Vegetables
DD> Yield: 4 servings
Looks good to me. Tonight I`m going to bake some chicken thighs and an
acorn squash, have them with some garlic/parmisan scones Steve made last
night (from a mix).
