Sometimes I feel stupid..Or, what's the deal with paste tomatoes?
Comments (20)Thank you all. I have done some occasional stalking over on the Harvest forum, and you bet those folks know their stuff. Maybe I worded my search wrong, but couldn't seem to find the info I was looking for. (maybe because most people have enough sense to figure it out for themselves...) Thank you, Dave, for your words about Victorio. I bought it last year for dealing with blueberries, but it was an incredible help with my tomato harvest this year. It absolutely does leave the pulp. Last year (when I grew sauce tomatoes), I had lots and lots of sauce after I ran it through a wire strainer. I just didn't have enough sense to know what to do with it. This year, I did strain the first couple batches of tomatoes I ran through it, and the small amount of pulp that was in those beefsteaks made lovely sauce. Just not enough of it. What I especially liked was how quickly the pulp cooked down into sauce once it was strained out. After using this amazing gadget this year, I don't think there's much of anything that anyone could say to make me fall out of love with it. It's a huge labor and time saver! As a note, I discovered by accident, that if I filled the hopper with tomato pieces before I cranked them through and then emptied the bowl right into a hot pan, I had minimal separation of pulp and water in the jars. Re: Determinate Sauce tomato. I grow my vegetables organically, and honestly don't even like to spray organic concoctions. Add to that the fact that the entire county here seems to have Early Blight in the soil, plus the fact that our incredibly hot mid summer heat puts a stop to tomato production anyway, and I have decided that it really doesn't matter whether I grow determinates or indeterminates. I am still only going to get the first crop. I will try Opalka as an experiment. Sounds intriguing. But I am very grateful for the extra mention of Italia. All three recs are on my list to try....See MoreStupid, but I have tp ask. How do I print a nice page
Comments (5)After you highlight the text, right click you mouse and click on "copy". Then open your word processing program - Word or Notepad or Wordpad or Works, or whatever you use. Once that's open, place the cursor on the blank page and right click the mouse, and click on "Paste". You can then save it as a text or doc. file giving it any name you want. Once you save it you can "select all" and make the font larger to make it easier to read, add notes, make changes, etc, and save it again. I save my recipes on my computer, and only print when I'm going to use it, otherwise I'd have a million recipes lying around the kitchen with no way to find what I want....See More'Ask me how I feel'....Tina
Comments (5)What a great song - thanks for posting it. I think she's such a fascinating woman with such amazing energy. I saw a television show a few years ago where she was interviewed in her home in France and was surprised to learn that she spends most of her time in Europe with homes in Switzerland, Nice, and London. It was an interesting interview where she showed her lovely home and showed the non-celebrity side of her life....See MoreNow I just feel stupid.
Comments (28)hahaha...not from lack of nicotine...most likely it was replacing the cigs with chardonnay that mucked me up.;o) Back OT for a sec: My decision on substrate was made for me after I noticed that the corner of the mirror was broken. I just got back from ordering the new glass. Went with laminated instead of tempered. The glass guy said that if in the future the picture became fractured it wouldn't break into big shards or crash crystals but stay in place. Thought I'd give it a go....See MoreUser
