Corn meal, salt, cayanne pepper. Fry in bacon grease. Simple is best with something like that. No gilding the lily.

And I'm only planting roma tomatoes. They aren't the greatest, but I can count on 'em. They Are Always The Same. Very important in my business.

#1 crop....'maters....pear, plum...you name it...;-)

[Iowa Granny]

there's not much water in a Roma. I still prefer the good old acid filled, Rutgers. But they're difficult to find and I just don't have time to grow my own plants.

[lysie]

That one made me snort with laughter. Now i'm chuckling...Great....

[lysie]

For sauces...yes. For mater samiches...the juicier the better. Let it all run down your arm to your elbow. :-)

[JRandomFreeper]

There are some heirloom tomatoes out there that are wonderful, great flavor, easy to use... but I can skin and flay a roma in a NY minute. And They Are Always The Same. I can count on them. I stick with what works. I've worked in kitchens that stocked 5 different tomatoes. Just give me one, and I'll work every part of it, except the stem, into something.

LOL! What is left over after you filet a roma tomato? Tomato guts. "Hey Chef? What are we doing with the tomato guts today?!"

List is now settled, with help from Frenchie.

Roma Tomatoes, Bell peppers (especially red and yellow), cliantro (a given), Thyme, Garlic, Basil, Oregano (mexican), Parsley, Chives, Green leaf lettuce (probably a bad decision), zuchinni, yellow squash, and jalapeno (a given).

Some will work better than others. I may also add musk-melon (cantaloupe, but it's not) to the list. It does well here in the hot summers, and the flavor is good.

That's a good one.

How're you doing Granny? I can imagine with elections coming up you're in high gear. Tomorrow I work one of the voting booths in town.

I love mater samiches. But my upper and lower teeth don't meet in the front. I cannot take a bite out of a sandwich without chomping it with my molars. More than once I've taken a bite into a wonderful tomato only to pull it out of the bread. So embarassing!

[Iowa Granny]

Life is nutz right now (I am still at work). Getting the candidates to do what they're supposed to do to get their campaigns up and running is not always as easy task.

Some times I am frantic, chasing folks here and there, holding their feet to the fire. Very few people understand what they're getting into when they agree to run for office the first time.

[JRandomFreeper]

Los frijoles es muy fuerte! Soy es musical. Donde esta you?

Ocassionally, I still call counsilman RD, and apologize for talking him into running. He still rants and calls me names. But, he's making Garland, Texas a more Constitutional place to live.

[Iowa Granny]

I hope the good Counselor accepts your apology.

[Jemian]

I'm heading off to bed now. I'll see y'all again in the AM.

[lysie]

Good night, hon...see you in the morning....sleep tight.

[Iowa Granny]

Rest Well, dear FRiend.

[kayak]

I presume that you know to go easy on the zuchinni and yellow squash or they will take over your neighborhood and produce enough to feed half of Texas. When we had a garden, we quickly learned not to plant but a hill or two of those prolific veggies. Our friends and neighbors began running away screaming when they saw us coming, realizing that we probably had more squash to give them.

[JRandomFreeper]

I know about that effect. I tend to use them when they are about 2 inches long, and still have the flowers on them. Stuff the flowers with an appropriate filling, truss and cook them. Baby zuchinni are VERY expensive. The flowers are edible.

It's all the rage.

Sorry for the belated reply; I meant that, like a typical leftist, he buys into junk science when it suits his political ends, and he's a man who doesn't follow rules who believes others have to follow them. In other words, one set of rules for him and everybody else.

[JRandomFreeper]

He never has. I'm still a rotten SOB, in his book, but he does admit that it's good for ANYONE to throw a kibosh into a counsil that doesn't understand limited government.

He hates it, but he does it.

That's the kind of politician I can respect.
