A few days ago, I made BBQ sauce from garden (cherry) tomatoes, a serrano pepper, and a bunch of other ingredients, including a little bottled black cherry juice. I think I went too heavy on the apple cider vinegar (I should have used half apple cider vinegar and half distilled vinegar), brown sugar and mustard powder, and a little tamarind might have improved it, but it was pretty good for a first attempt. >--Bryan With all those other ingredients no one could tell whether they were home grown or canned. If you have a glut of home growns canning home made BBQ sauce is an option but I'd not choose to use home growns in a recipe like that unless I had more than could be eaten fresh, and I had a lot of time to waste reducing all the water gently without caramelizing them. For me I'd rather give my excess homegrowns to someone who'd appreciate them rather than cooking them... especially since reducing the excess water in fresh tomatoes requires a lot of time and labor as you'd need to remove the skins and seeds.... whole canned tomatoes with skins already removed are readily available for cheap, and removing the seeds with a food mill is a lot easier than peeling and coring. I've learned not to grow more tomatoes (and other crops) than I can use fresh. Just because I have space to grow fifty heads of cabbage I limit myself to growing no more than a dozen, and still I give some away. Cabbage grows very well in our cool weather, 10+ pound heads are usual, what would I do with 100 pounds of cole slaw? I use at least half for cabbage soup and some for stuffed cabbage cooked in the same pot as those freeze well. I tried making kim chi but I don't care for it. I use the sweet cabbage centers in tossed salads and I like to eat the cabbage hearts with just a bit of kosher salt, I first pare away the bitter outter portion. |

One of our wells is drilled around 700 feet deep and hits static water around 500 feet. Best water ever! RO water tastes very flat and 25 percent of the filtered water is wasted down the drain. Maintaining a deep water well is expensive though. There is a lot of labor expense in pulling the well head for repair or replacement since it comes out in 20 foot sections and of course those that do this work know very "well" how to charge for it. :( |

There are many, many food preparations that call for the entirety of the tomato. The recipe needs the juice of the tomato to provide a tasty liquid. I have no idea why you think all tomatoes must have the juice cooked away and caramelized to be useful. I heard that those tomato pastes and sauces was where all the 'mystery' tomatoes that were bruised and rotten went. :)) Janet US |

I don't believe yoose two pinheads have any well... yoose moroons are drinking typical bottled water, comes from a gas station hose bib. I've had well water most of my life, on Lung Guyland it was a 2" well about 90' into the aquafer. Here we have two wells, the one we use at home is a 4" well 120 feet deep. A second well is an 8" high capacity well that's about 100 feet deep that was originally for agri use (irrigation), Yields 23 gallons per minute we use it for our garden and for washing our tractors... it was recently fitted with a new self-draining pressure tank so we don't need to mess with it for winters other than turning it off at the circuit breaker and emptying the pressure tank. I know a lot about water wells, if you claim a 700' and 500' deep wells they have to be Pinochio Brand wells. Submersable pumps that can bring water to the surface from those depths would cost many thousands of dollars and have a monel point and screen. |

It was another step but not too difficult if already vegetarian. It was really a great place with impeccable service. The waiters were all older men that worked there for years. Unfortunately, the building and name still exist but that is all. Used to be the only beverage was ginger ale and iced tea. Now it is a full bar and you can get cheeseburgers. No going back. No more blintzes. |

Depends whose making it, I've seen many versions of each and they overlap... typically prepared by the upstate NY church ladies for an after Sunday morning mass feed... accompanied by bologna and American cheese on white with ballpark yallow mustard.

A lot of guys just made a simple 90 degree bend, nail it up and done. I always made a template and wade the bends back in the garage.

Talk about low IQ of obversation, recall, or reading comprehension skills... I didn't even write that but I did agree with it and added Jill. You should just stick to nice posts unless that's too hard for you to do. |
