Ha! 2023 now, and i wish idI’d found this page earlier. planted 2 of these just to appease my BLT craving husband. i got 2 large starts at Costco’s. its been a mixed up summer with cool periods interspersed with 100+° temps. These 2 plants in well ammended soil have produced amazingly and been free of disease. Great, but why do we grow tomatoes? Its for the flavour. These would be decent store bought tomatoes, but there’s nothing outstanding, no depth, no zing. To me they are tomatoes in name only. I grow Dwarf Tomato Project plants, usually from saved seeds. I’m always a bit late, so its well into August when we get any, but they are quite wonderful and redolent in their flavors. This year. I’m growing Fred’s Tie Die, Sweet Scarlet, and, as usual, good old Rosella Purple. The 1st 2 are producing well, despite the hot spells, Rosella Purple, not so much. its always a good idea to plant several varieties, as you never know what summer may bring. If you are interested in these 3-4’ varieties that grow like stout little trees (and do need support), look them up. seeds are available for a bewildering number with new varieties added every year. You can usually find started plants for sale online online. I’m happy with the threesome that Im growing, but like to tryout a new one or 2 occaisionally. Well worth seeking out for space stressed gardens like my own.

I've been a chef for 28 years! I use order a case from Tyson's delivery of the Black Diamond steaks One restaurant I worked in we made our own black diamond steaks with Ribeye steaks. I ordered the seasoning mix that came in a large bag like flour would come in but the bag was see through plastic bag. The seasoned powder was called Black Cow. We'd take the ribeye steaks and soak em overnight in the seasoned black-diamond powder mix. I'd broil the Black-Diamond each order. They tasted exactly like the awesome Black Diamond steaks! Some restaurants do have Black Diamond Steak on the menu. I too have searched for recipes to make my own Black Diamond steaks! I found recipes online claiming it was Black Diamond steak recipe & when I tried the recipes? None of them came close to the taste I'm looking for of the Black Diamond Steak! Now when I search online and see a recipe for Black Diamond? As soon as I read a certain ingredient in the recipe I know it's not what I'm looking for. If you've had the real Black Diamond Steak at one time? You'll never forget how tender the steak was and the flavors out of this world! I gave up on trying other people's recipes online for Black Diamond Steak! I found recently online that anyone can buy the famous Black Diamond Steaks by the case. Tyson's is the brand & they come with free delivery to your front door. You get 32-6 oz Black Diamond Steaks for $201.95 wholesale price that comes to only: $6.32 each! BJ'S wholesale Club, use to sell the Tyson's Black Diamond 6 oz steak that came in 4 6 oz steaks in a box but it figures they discontinued that awesome product! However the price was way too high to buy them from BJ'S (Even though I did buy them cause I love these steaks!) Now that I can buy them myself ? An entire case at a wholesale price? That's so well worth it! I have a stand-up freezer here at home. I can easily by a case with plenty of room for a whole case of the best Black Diamond Steaks the one & only original I've always loved very much!

Both but there are only a couple of places I will order steak when eating out. Usually I cook it at home.....or, uncook it actually. I want it extra, extra rare. Cold in the middle. I would rather eat cardboard than a well done steak. I also don't want it warm in the middle. I eat steak a lot, but mostly at home. The way I cook it, is rub sr flour on it...not enough to consider it breaded...put it in a hot skillet for about a minute, just a dab of oil...not more than a tablespoon, just so it doesn't stick. Turn it. One more minute or there about....done.

Oh my, I'm really sitting on a different fence ;) I like fatty meats, dairy, and while it never gets much sympathy, almost fight to keep my weight up - partly because I know I don't look my best too thin. DH has to be so careful with portion control in our kitchen, it's difficult for him to stay at a reasonable weight while I try to maintain one. I'm just grateful he's so active even retired now - he burns a lot of calories :) Funky, we grill year around here. If its cold like today, DH will still open the garage door on his side of the garage, roll the BBQ just outside under our deep overhang and grill away. It's gas. Easy to light, quick to cool, and back inside out of the weather. I have never in my life made a ground turkey or ground chicken burger ;)
