Ohhh how I miss cornfields and fresh garden tomatoes!
They don't grow very well in the desert...but I also don't miss the humidity in the summer and the "bird size" mosquitoes!
LOL
I decided to grow tomatoes for my 10 year old who loves them! sm
I planted 2 plants and they grew up so tall - totally pesticide free with no bugs on them all year! We had so many that I would give them to a neighbor. One batch was picked up by a woman who drove 30 miles for our tomatoes! I don't like them.....They were no big deal planting - just put them in the ground and watered every day.
mine LOVES coconut lime verbena from BABW. LOVES it
it's the smell -- just smells "clean" plus i think it reminds him of me ... weirdly, even my teen sons say it smells nice and clean and they like it too! smells bring about different calms in people... no way should you worry.
I don't know either, but even if i have just a pooch...sm
I am not going to wear anything that shows my belly unless it is pretty flat.
Our pooch gets embarrassed and leaves the room, too! nm

Consider using fresh herbs. So fresh
and spring-y. :oD
I love fresh sage with pork. I especially love pork chops. Great, now I'm hungry.
K9 Advantix is working for our pooch. Also put garlic powder and brewer's yeast in their

It may take a while for Nick to return
they wrote his death in becasue they couldn't agree on contract terms. He almost left the show. They write the show sometims weeks to months in advance so it will probably be a few weeks or more before he is back on screen. BTW, I love Phyllis with Nick. When Victoria first came back to Genoa City she saw JT at the hospital (when Brittany's baby was about to be kidnapped) and her face lit up like and Christmas tree when she said his name. I immediatly thought those 2 would be great together.
Nick and Phyllis
Now this is something to talk about. Love that show. Oddly enough I think Nick and Phyllis belong together. They make a great couple. Sharon does well with Jack. I really think Jack is trying to be a better person. Can't stand Nikki.. and starting to dislike Victor.. Turning kind of mean and nasty, more so than the old Victor.
Nick the hairdresser on
What Not To Wear has curly hair. He has lots of tips when somebody with curly hair is on. He uses certain products afterward to let it curl, but smoothly and in an organized fashion.
With the wide-toothed comb, look for one where the teeth are rounded or even sort of squared off (in a rounded sort of way). That makes it more comfy when you get close to the scalp.
I do have one area at the nape of my neck where my fine hair tangles terribly.
Y&R Fans -- Nick is alive! :0)
 Wonder what the story line will be now? I was hopeful that they didn't kill him off for real.
I love Phyllis and Nick together.
I like the storyline cause you have to mix it up somehow, but I hate that he had to relive the death of Cassie. He did some really good acting.
Love Phyllis and Nick together (sm)
can't stand the way Nicki is treating P either, and yes, she was nasty to Sharon too. See, soaps can teach us a life lesson. I would never DREAM of treating my sons' wives like that (even the one I wouldn't have chosen - LOL) I always treat them with respect.
Like you, I loved Nick Norman
or whatever his name is. I think he shot some pelvic thrusts towards Simon last night, not caught well on camera but sorta. The audience loves him as well. I think he would be great in a satire, broadway kind of show and I hope should he leave he finds something like that. Great entertainment out of him but not so much as what I want out of a singer Idol. The red haired girl had the Angeline Jolie lips going on and I thought very attractive but most just let me down as far as the singing goes.
Booted: Leslie, Aliana, A.J., and Nick nm

Anyone think Nick is going to walk into his own memorial service?
nm
No, NIck has not appeared, no clue what will happen there. sm
Jill is planning to go with Jimin (sp) on his trip, Catherine is totally against it, she does not trust Jimin since he is associated with Jack's business. Victoria and Brad have made amends, vowing to never cheat on each other again. Sharon is questioning Jack's integrity and his trust of her. JT was missing his PDA and found it at Crimson Lights only after Kevin had retieved information from it for Colleen (she thinks he exposed her relationship with Corbel), not sure what he got though. That's all I remember.
Do you know that Y&R comes on at 10/11 p.m. on Soapnet? Until last week you could have seen it at 5/6 p.m. as well, but they hae changed the TV schedule...
I thought Nick would walk in - guess we have to wait

tomatoes
I planted tomatoes in my regular garden and then decided to try an earthbox for planting a cherry tomato plant. WELL, this thing grew up at least 8 feet and was growing onto my roof. I finally put in some hooks on the overhang of my house and these things just keep growing and growing. I must have already picked at least 300 of these tomatoes and there are still more there. Now this is strange but my dog also seemed to like them and has nibbled off the ones that were on the lower branches. Also planted some peppers in this earthbox and it is doing extremely well.
Tomatoes
Sorry about my not spelling tomatoes correctly. I graduated from the Dan Quayle school of spelling. 
I saw a recipe for oven dried tomatoes that sounds good with olive oil, sea salt and garlic. Yum.
Tomatoes gone wild
I have planted 4 tomato plants that have gone crazy. They are crowding out other things and the cages are barely holding them up. I would like to try to transplant them to another area. Anyone have experience with this with a fully grown tomato plant? They already have some tomatoes and lots of flowers. I am planning on starting this afternoon by pruning back many leaves and stems that are not fruit bearing yet.
or voles --- they ate all our tomatoes one year - sm
they live in the ground, little holes (1 inch or so) and eat everything they can. We put the tomatoes in big pots/barrels now, cover with bird netting, and out of 2 plants have tons of tomatoes.
Canned tomatoes are very versatile
Not bad with cubed tofu, either. Also, what about vegetarian lasagna, eggplant parmesan, vegetable soup. More recipes are here, some vegetarian, but you can always substitute ground turkey or leave out the beef.

That depends...There are rotel tomatoes but..
There is also a rotel dip: Ground beef, cheese whiz/cheese sauce, rotel tomatoes that is cooked up and served over nacho/dorito chips. Is that what you are referring to?
Tomatoes are not hard to grow........sm
You can start the plants inside and plant them in large containers on the patio or porch if that is the only space you have. Nothing much better than a big, fresh, juicy ripe garden tomato!!
It is turkey and bacon and tomatoes
between slices of bread with a cheese sauce poured over the top. Different places here use different cheese sauces and they are delicious.
Uncooked whole tomatoes on pizza
We have that here. I actually love it. It's like a bruchetta.
I love tomatoes and may sandwich....sm
I live in South MS. Has to be fresh garden tomaotes though.
Upside down tomatoes, how do they turn out?
I love home grown tomatoes but do not have a garden. I have seen some of the ads for the upside down ones and thought I might could do those. Anyone had any luck with those?
Tomatoes, escargot and calamari.
Ro*Tel -- diced tomatoes & green chilies
Ro-Tel is similar to canned stewed tomatoes. In times past, it was marketed mainly in the southern states, originating in Texas.

my fave too...along with Fried Green Tomatoes
rotten tomatoes - good site
If you Google the movie and find out why people are fascinated with it you will find out a whole slew of information about the meanings strewn throughout the film, it definately added a whole knew way of looking at it for me. The ending was very redemptive and made it all right in the end at least for me. Funny thing is I thought I was renting a children's fantasy movie which I like, so had no idea it was so dark, sort of shocking, also did not know it was subtitled.
Love canned tomatoes!. Here are some ideas.
Put some frozen bean and cheese burritos in cassarole, pour tomatoes (doesnt matter if they are any flavor or not) over them, add cheese on top and bake at 350 til hot and cheese melted and brown. Or mix with chicken broth, chicken, cumin, pepper flakes (optional), other fave spices and make mexican chicken soup. Top with strips of toasted tortillas. Cook shredded chicken in tomatoes with fave mexican spices and serve on tortillas for mexican chicken rolls. Again, doesnt matter if called Italian tomatoes, will work with anything.
shread it up, add some green chiles and diced tomatoes
and freeze for burritos or machaca beef later on...uumm good
Hmm, roasted peppers, olives, garlic, tomatoes
Yummy! My husband and I neither one grew up eating the above - we had mostly the bland food and the reason being, there are a lot of people who just do not know how to use spices and seasonings. Glad grown now because I have all those delicious things you speak of. Years ago in Mexico I had roasted green peppers with cheese- tried to match but mine never the same. Mouth is watering!
Actually, I never even thought about using fresh
chicken (the girl who gave me the recipe said to use the canned chicken undrained). It probably would be even better with the fresh chicken and some of the broth. I was just passing on what was a very good recipe. Anyway, have a good day!
Then you might want to try some fresh stuff.
I just made a turkey breast today that was very tasty. In a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, I chopped up some fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and a couple cloves of crushed garlic. Then, I just rubbed that onto the (skinless) turkey breast.
I oven-roasted that with some vegetables, but you could put that on chicken breasts and bake or grill them. They'd be good either way.
Good luck!
Thank you for the breath of fresh air
and the very nice comment to both of us. We really have hurt no one and have found someone who mutually shares the love of animals, as I am sure so many of you do. I spoke just last week to a lovely MT who has a little Pekinese named Sophie. We had a great conversation about that. With an elderly very ill parent this board has given me something to focus on and relieve some fear and tension. Thanks again. You comments are truly appreciated.
fresh towels
I use Gain detergent, the regular kind. Has a really nice smell. We live by ocean so our towels get musty smelling quite easily.
used to eat fresh dough but...sm
Was warned not to do this or let kids do it if the dough contained egg, very bad to eat raw, so cut out the licking of the spoon. I know most cookies don't have egg, but we were addicted to all batter. No longer lick the spoons when done.
Fresh coconut!
I had a hankerin for a coconut a few weeks ago so I bought one. Hadn't had one since I was a kid. I drilled the holes in the 'eyes' and drank the coconut juice inside. Then I pryed out the meat, meticulously peeled the brown junk off it with a knife, and ate a whole bunch. Okay, my husband and I both at the whole thing in one sitting it was sooooo yummy! The next day...well, all I'm gonna say is that I am thankful we have 2 bathrooms and were fully stocked on TP. We weren't sick mind you, just incredibly cleaned out. The coconut juice, which only I drank, acted like a diuretic and I think I peed every hour on the hour--and incredible amount each time at that.
I have chronic constipation too because I hate to drink water. I tend to stay borderline dehydrated myself. The chemical laxatives just plain wreak havoc and are very painful and inconvenient to put it nicely. I'd go with better diet, water, and fruits before I'd go with pills if at all possible. Hope she feels better soon!
me too! breath of fresh air.
except for maybe the typo-gestapo. but even that has faded.
BREATH OF FRESH AIR
I think MTStars is Breath of Fresh Air after change in administration. This thread is staying on board is proof of it. MTStars was personal forum rather public board beofre.
I was sick of HER, deleting every other thread and banning those who expressed their opinions that wasn't acceptable for her.
Meatloaf, baked potatoes, cukes and tomatoes out of the garden. (sm)
Maybe if I get finished with taking the grandkids to their extra-curricular activities early enough I will bake a cake. Been hungry for chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.
I've used canned tomatoes in tossed salad in the wintertime...
because I can't stand the plastic tomatoes they sell out of season in the store. I also use them in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. In summer, we grow our own, but for winter the canned ones are great, especially the petite-diced.
Fresh lettuce from the garden!
 Luv that stuff. Your sammy sounds delicious! Yummmm... TX for sharing...
*hugs* I'm so sorry. I know the pain as it is still very fresh for me. SM
He had such loving parents these last months of his life and you did everything you could for him.
At the cremation place they gave me this card.
The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in or dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Their bright eyes are intent. Their eager body quivers. Suddenly they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them faster and faster. You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
Not sure about that, but I thought fresh carrots are usually used. What about
salt in canned foods? That would be my concern with taste, etc.
after BR there are many Fresh Start programs.

Don't forget the fresh stuff!
All suggestions posted area great. Don't forget to add in fresh stuff. A head of iceberg lettuce is pretty inexpensive most days, especially with summer coming. How about getting seeds and planting a garden? You can start the seeds indoors right about now and they'll be ready to go outside in a month or so.
This is a great site, too.

Lots of really good frugal ideas.
I just bought a bunch of stuff to make breakfast burritos with - which is one of my favorite food groups. 24 eggs, a large package of Jimmy Dean sausage, 2 bags of cheese, 1 large tub of red chile, 30 tortillas and 5 pounds of potatoes only cost $22 and change. I figure I'll get at least 25, possibly 30 burritos out of it. I'm assembling them and sticking them in the freezer as one of my projects today.
