We just bought this house, and the man we bought it from must’ve planted these crazy tomato plants. I love the little tomatoes but they are super-productive but are too small for canning. I tried but after skinning and seeding - there wasn’t much left.
The locals tell me they are ‘tommy toes’. I should Google and see the real name. Southerners have the cutest names for things.
When they’re going full bore I can hardly keep up with them.
They’re nummy though.
Like candy.
I buy vanilla wafers at Trader Joes. They have specks of vanilla bean seeds in them and remind me of homemade.
Continuing to pray for you.
Unfortunately, I recently moved and lost my Trader Joe’s. I really miss it.
LOL. It is a beautiful veggie - I have a painting of eggplants. I’m fine with it but prefer it in sludgy chutney. Or under a lot of tomato sauce.
I love buying eggplant and multi-colored bell peppers. They are so pretty. And the deep purple of the eggplant is unique.
However, after admiring them for awhile, I realize i need to make something with them so buying them was probably a mistake. None are my favorites to eat!
We have two FReeper cookbooks here online :)
