Haven't eaten in 36 hours ... you? > Haven't eaten in 36 hours ... you? I am eating right now! I am on my 8th tomato for the day. I am going to announce a tomato challenge, whoever eats most tomatoes, wins. We already have a few insane chalenges going on here (like water challenge), why not issue mine. i >> Haven't eaten in 36 hours ... you? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >i I sort of have the impression this KellyClarksonTV is a troll.

The "ripe" ones in Giant today were > typical grocery store orange. I'm with you. I've got four HUGE tomato plants (I should say shrubs) and they're covered with green tomatoes without a red one anywhere in the bunch. I planted a "salad" garden this year: all stuff I go out and pick for a salad. I've harvested several heads of lettuce and spinach and the snow peas... but no tomatoes. I suspect the tomatoes will all come at the exact same moment, though I purposely planted four different sorts. Dally > I'm with you. I've got four HUGE tomato plants (I should say shrubs) > and they're covered with green tomatoes without a red one anywhere in > the bunch. Exactly my situation, also. 11 tomato plants, enormous sized, lots of green tomatoes on them, very slow to ripen. > I planted a "salad" garden this year: all stuff I go out and > pick for a salad.

Title: Fried Green Tomatoes Categories: Native amer, Vegetables Yield: 6 servings 2 lb Green tomatoes 4 ea Eggs 1 1/4 c Corn meal 3/4 c Water 1/4 c Minced chives 1 tb Salt 1/4 ts Pepper, fresh ground 1/4 c Butter or margarine Slice the tomatoes 1/2 inch thick, but do not peel or core. Drain well between several thicknesses of paper toweling until most of the moisture of the tomatoes is absorbed. While the tomatoes are draining, make a batter by beating the eggs until light, then mixing in the corn meal, water, minced chives, salt and pepper. In a large, heavy iron skillet, heat the butter or margarine until bubbly. Dip the tomato slices into batter, and brown quickly on both sides. Serve at once. From: The Art of American Indian Cooking by Yeffe Kimball and Jean Anderson, Avon Books, New York, NY, 1965. We used to call green tomato relish picalilli Title: Green Tomato Relish Categories: Relishes, Vegetables, Preserve Yield: 6 servings 6 ea Red Sweet Peppers * 3 1/2 c Sugar 2 lb Green Tomatoes * 2 c Cider Vinegar 2 lb Onions * 1 c Water 1 ea Small Head Cabbage * 1 tb Mustard Seed 3 ea Sweet Green Peppers * 1 tb Ground Turmeric 1/4 c Pickling Salt 2 ts Celery Seed * All vegetables are to be coarsely ground. ~------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mix vegetables and salt. Cover and let stand 12 to 18 hours. Drain vegetables and rinse. Mix vegetables and remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 3 minutes.

Thanks Patricia, I will try the first recipe. i > An unusual recipe, I will definitely try it. I like fried green tomatoes, but they're a big PITA, AFAIK. A reasonable, less-effort approximation can be achieved by salting the tomatoes a bit and letting them sweat for 5 minutes, dipping in corn meal, then baking in the oven (flip once) until they're browned. I'm not sure what temperature I used to use, I haven't had an oversupply of green tomatoes for a few years. >> An unusual recipe, I will definitely try it. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > oven (flip once) until they're browned.

We have, however, harvested and still have growing a *ton* of cucumbers. I give them to our families and neighbors (neighbors in turn share zucchinis and parsley). My pepper plants are doing well - just about ready to pick a couple this weekend. Something/someone is eating my basil! Must spray with organic insectisidal soap. And, this is the first year we planted corn- and I've already got little husks forming :-) Teri >>Haven't eaten in 36 hours ... you? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > wins. We already have a few insane chalenges going on here (like water > challenge), why not issue mine. I don't think a water challenge is insane. We've got to retrain ourselves to get adequate hydration, IMO. Now excuse me because I'm going to take this prompt and go get a large glass of water. Dally > I don't think a water challenge is insane. We've got to retrain > ourselves to get adequate hydration, IMO. Thanks Dally! Actually, from the very beginning hydration was one of my goals. When I first started this WOL -- over a year ago -- I wrote down three goals and one of they was "stay hydrated" because I knew at the time that was an issue for me. I think that I've done well with it. Bringing my 1 liter water bottle to work with me each day certainly helps! Signaturejmk in NC I agree that there is nothing "insane" about a water challenge -- it is definitely a goal I need to keep top of mind! Mary > > I don't think a water challenge is insane.

That's what I took issue with, the use of the word "insane". Apparently everything he doesn't understand or agree with is "insane" or "idiotic." Jenn but using antifreeze for deodorant is fine... > >>Haven't eaten in 36 hours ... you? > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I don't think a water challenge is insane. We've got to retrain > ourselves to get adequate hydration, IMO. I agree... During last year's fitness test my percentage of body water was incredibly low (something in the 30s). I am now in the healthy range of 55.9%. I didn't realize that I wasn't hydrating myself enough. ~Liz 140(?)/132.5/125 (BF%)35.7/26.3/20(?) > > Haven't eaten in 36 hours ... you? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > i Why is the water challenge insane?

I find it odd to compete, in some way, about who drinks how much water, of all things. Not that I question the value of drinking water, but drinking water is not any sort of accomplishment to make a challenge of. i >I find it odd to compete, in some way, about who drinks how much >water, of all things.
