Oh! that Jessy....

16 years ago

She sure is up to her tricks! She totally caught me off guard today with a very nice surcie.

She knows I can't get to TJ's very often. She also knows what I have a real weakness for...

I've got it sitting right next to the coffee pot. Just can't decide which to open first.

BTW, the mail person slid down the driveway on the first attempt today, she had to make a second try. After a long winter it's just all ice now. I took this picture yesterday. Kim had me take it to send to her sister.

Thanks Annie, I'm happy to know I'm not the only one. I think I will cut the pears up finer to be more like a jam. That's the kind I remember from childhood. They were really thick and dark but not too much syrup. Gonna try again this weekend, but I'm still enjoying the ones I've already canned. They are OH SO GOOD on toast, even if they are a bit runny, which of course I end up dropping on my shirt! Wonder how the "pear honey" would taste over vanilla icecream? Got to give it a try. Hmmm....homemade pound cake..........?????? Jessie

Me Too! Me Too! Unfortunately, I've been working out of town. I had my Mom baby sit the dogs. I hid the jam so my Mom wouldn't eat it all on me! She loves figs more than I do! Thanks again, Jessy! Becky (the jam hoarder)

Jessy was right, 6 in 1 tomatoes are ...

Ok - reporting on the accidental buy of the Escalon Bella Rosa pasta sauce. Its ok/pretty good for a "jarred" sauce. I have 5 more cans and don't have a problem with eating them. I typically have used commercial pasta sauce in the past and actually had a thread about which ones people liked because I was finding that they were all sort of leaving me luke warm. I still like the convenience and still try them - trying to stick with the ones with short ingredient lists (i.e. no weird gums and chemical names) and no HFCS andnminor sugar. I posted the ingrediants of Bella Rosa above. I pulled an old half jar of Barilla out of the fridge. Barilla - diced tomatoes, tomato puree, basil, onions, sugar salt, olive oil, sunflower oil, garlic, natural flavor (whatever that means). Essentially the Bella Rosa fits in with many of the other jarred sauces but I don't see any reason to mail order more when mine is gone. The question becomes.... is this made with 6 N 1 tomatoes? Will I be underwhelmed by my expectations? I haven't ordered them yet but plan to.

Do you like bananas?
Q
Comments (48)
I like them and buy them sometimes. More so recently because my lunch buddy likes them. We almost always get treats to share around and sometimes it is just a bunch of bananas. Cookies, cheese, and fruit are in the regular rotation... I have crackers and Brie to take today. My friend Kel is such a banana addict I put one in a loaf of squash bread and she IDed it on the first bite. I understand the big yellow Cavendish cultivar are going to go away. There is a disease the plants get that killed of the previous commercial cultivar and is now starting to kill the Cavendish. The plants don't reproduce sexually so there is not chance of a evolving into a disease free strain. The hunt is on for a new strain of banana. I've not made a deep fried banana in years. Years ago I worked at an A&W where we put them in a cinnamon batter and deep fried them. They were they served with soft serve ice cream with lots of chocolate syrup. As for seeing them as a phallic symbol I don't have a problem with that... better then seeing a cooked spagetti noodle as a symbol (little wonder viagra is so popular). I'm sure we could come up with a long list of things people see as phallic... wonder wtf is on their minds? Dolly's vet is coming over Thursday... think I'll make some banana bread. Dolly gets house calls! : ) lyra

Well, I have no computer at home and the county's firewall won't let me see the pictures at work, so I'll just have to guess at what you got. LOL

I'm sure it's wonderful, though.....

Nancy,

The TJ's Sumatra coffee was sent to me last month from my Aunt in Boston, who also sent Meyer lemons from there. It's the BEST Sumatra I've ever tried! I am begging her to send me more, since it's long gone. Enjoy it all, and let me know how the Peaberry tastes too, since I've never had that one. Lucky you, enjoy it all! Jessy, that was a really nice thing to do:-)

thanks, Rita! She sent me the pictures, so I can see Roxie, Nancy, all the snow and the coffee. (grin)

Nancy, my driveway looks like yours too, but it's going to go away. Really, it is. The "girls" are laying 8 or 9 eggs a day, a sure sign of spring.

Now, go have a cup of coffee. I wish I were there, I'd bring the coffee cake.
