In my opinion, they are the only good grocery store tomatoes. Good for any use. The nicer large tomatoes often have hard cores (the ones from the stores) I'd love to try fresh from the garden Romas. |

Home grown tomatoes are best for everything. Even homegrown chopped and frozen until winter are so superior to any canned tomatoes. |

Before I gave up on growing tomatoes, I'd plant Romas and (usually) Brandywines. Cindy Hamilton |

Actually most home growns are salad tomatoes and are much too juicy for cooking... by the time the the liquid is reduced the tomatoes become caramelized, they turn brown and taste nothing of tomato. When commercial tomato paste is made those tomatoes are not cooked, the excess water is removed with huge vacuum towers, the water vapor is sucked off the surface.... the same way frozen OJ concentrate is made. Tomatoes are relatively new to Italian cookery so there is nothing Italian about tomato sauce. |

The nicer large tomatoes often have hard >cores (the ones from the stores) Those have hard cores because they are picked unripe so they will ship well.... most all market fruit is picked unripe... you've probably never eaten a vine ripened melon... once you have you'll never buy a market melon again... once picked melons don't ripen, neither pineapple. The only field ripened pineapple you'll find is canned. >I'd love to try fresh from the garden Romas. Plant some, they are very easy to grow in tubs... don't you have a patio? Fill some large tubs with potting soil and plant whatever you like. |

It's as if he is just dumping his brain to the keyboard as fast as he is able. Any of his teachers past 6th grade would mark him down for not splitting that up into paragraphs. Cindy Hamilton |

What does the > article say? For one thing, coffee grounds are acidic, and, quoting: While you might think you squeezed every last drop of caffeine out of those grounds in your french press, think again: A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that there can be up to 8 milligrams of caffeine per gram of used coffee grounds, depending on how long the grounds steep in the water. That means that after you brew a shot of espresso, the grounds still contain about as much caffeine as a cup of tea. That's why adding coffee grounds to your garden is the last thing you want to do. A 2016 study in the journal Urban Forestry & Urban Greening said it all in the title: "Applying spent coffee grounds directly to urban agriculture soils greatly reduces plant growth." That was true even when they composted the coffee grounds with other organic waste — something experts recommend in the first place. Another study inadvertently found that compost spiked with coffee grounds kills earthworms. And remember how adding organic material attracts helpful bacteria? Well, coffee grounds also have antibacterial properties. Bye bye, little buggies. |

I was saving my grounds for the compost every day. At some point we stopped, not for any particular reason. I felt a little guilty tossing them. nancy |

There's nothing Chinese about tomatoes, they're a New World crop. No Chinese ever saw a tomato until about 100 years ago, and at that time tomatoes were considered toxic... tomatoes are in the nightshade family, the entire plant is toxic except for the fruit. Eggs are popular worldwide |

Plenty of Westerners were eating tomatoes by then. > tomatoes are in the nightshade > family, the entire plant is toxic except for the fruit. > Eggs are popular worldwide Same thing for chili peppers. Yet, Szechuan and Hunan cuisines are famed for their spiciness. Cindy Hamilton |

I found that I actually liked this one better with no sauce at all. I had a jarred sauce. It was an unfamiliar brand, so maybe the sauce just wasn't very good. |

I do price comparisons when it comes to buying olive oil. I don't use a lot of it. Sometimes the store-brand wins, sometimes another brand. Pompeian won out the last time. :) Jill |

No rocket is going to launch regardless of how many TESTING 123, TESTING 123's folks do. LOL |

I don't like coffee as much as the ritual of it. Same with the newspaper - I don't care about the news, I'm just looking for stuff I find interesting or amusing. They have a free weekly here called City Beat that has the absolute toughest ones I've seen yet. I usually snag 3 of them from the box because I know I'm going to mess up on the first one. > There is another interesting site called sudoku.solve (or something like that). If you're having trouble with a puzzle and want to move on from it you can go to that site and it will show you a sudoko grid and ask you to pump the original numbers from your puzzle into it. When you do that and hit the send button the other spaces fill with numbers and the correct result is seen. I like doing them in bed or in some relaxed moment. I can also get out of it for weeks at a clip. I appreciate your suggestion though. > I'm all for change - after it's over. Same here on habit, but I am just the opposite and don't do much paper other than TP and paper towels. Yes there is no news worth looking at since most of it is make believe. Most of the magazine puzzles I have seen are extremely easy. I have an iPad so can take it anywhere. http://www.enjoysudoku.com puzzles can be unsolvable for me. I don't use the hints. If I can figure it out I move on. |
