I like to make huge batches of chili or spaghetti sauce and freeze. Unfortunately I still end up putting a box of veggies up at the street corner with a sign "help yourself, free" |

Better as a lunch than as a breakfast. I used to love them when I was a kid. My parents always grew lots of tomatoes. I had digestive issues with tomatoes for a long time. Now I am able to eat them again, but I gave up on growing tomatoes. I can get them pretty fresh from local produce stands, but not as fresh out of the garden as I grew up with. |

What I do the day before a pizza is to put a rack on a cookie sheet and put the slices on it. Overnight (8 hours or so) in my gas oven with pilot light will semi dry them but not dehyrate them completely. It's a nice medium. Still plenty of moisture but doesn't leak out onto the crust. Great for a pizza topping. Also...that gas oven will make a perfect batch of yogurt overnight too. I'm grandfathered in with the pilot light stove. Probably won't ever find a new one. Or do they still make them? |

I loved it as a kid. Haven't had it in years. Get this though - I just looked in my kitchen and right there on the top of my kitchen cabinets is an unopened box of Wheaties that I had forgotten about. Seriously forgotten about as the date says "Better if Used by Oct2014." Good grief! I wonder if that would still be ok to try? I might next time I buy fresh milk. I don't see and ingredients that would go bad. Or I might do a Julie and toss it. I could at least feed it to the seagulls...they eat anything. Also Janet US - your tomato breakfast is a winner. You can't ever go wrong with a fresh from the garden tomato. Sadly, I can't grow them right now but I do make the effort to go to a local stand for them. I do miss having my own garden though. Not only the good produce but the morning time spent pampering my garden. I was out there at dawn every day and really loved those times. |

Â* I'm usually out there by about 7 watering and checking stuff . One benefit of being out early is that it's cooler and the bugs are moving slower .

My city is broken up into segments of some of the largest subdivisions or locations such and so north, such and so north for instance. My group always has someone posting that they have too much basil or cucumbers, tomatoes, whatever. That would be helpful for you if you did. Check it out. Janet US |

The > messages come through your email. Yes, very helpful for recommendations too, like plumbers, roofers, mechanics etc. If your neighbors recommend them, they usually are decent. I know we appreciate a heads up when a house has been robbed a couple of blocks away and so on. They also offer a lot of free things if anyone needs something, including produce, lemons, promegranates, squash etc. That's the same address as listed on ours. Cheri |
