I’ve been perfecting scratch biscuits & sausage gravy. Although I live in Iowa, I’d give those southern rebels a run for their money.
Those refrigerator biscuits in a tube are convenient, but they are nasty.
Just a decent flavorful tomato would be good.
Cant touch heirlooms because of this.
True. You folks can grow tomatoes too. Want a great tomato? Go to the Midwest. I have to work my arse off here in Idaho.
So there's a tomato named for Comrade Paul Robeson? Puree it in a blender, mix it with Stolichnaya vodka and call the cocktail a Red Russian.
Wow, thanks. Overwhelming amount of info!
Once upon a time I loved Tomato’s. Then they messed with the Genetics and the way they grow them. Now they are totally terrible. Gross texture, and no flavor. I usually pick them out of everything and throw them away.
But every once in a awhile I will get lucky and find ones closer to what they used to be like. But it does not happen often.
A friend of mine once lived near the town sewage treatment plant. He swore the tomatoes that grew on the sludge dump were the best he had ever tasted. Never tried them myself.
There was a young freeper years ago who was fond of tomatoes and had his own website on them...........
Ray Liotta will be doing Chantix commercials for tomacco?
Give me a hot day in late summer, ripe tomatoes on the vine in the garden and a salt shaker.
Come get me at sunset, please.
Yes, but I am one of the few Americans who know where Potatoes really come from! We get these humongous Idaho baker spuds at the grocery store. They take an hour and a half at 400 in the oven.
Using a microwave oven for a baking potato is barbaric, as is the use of foil.
I remember him well. RIP.
