Mmmmm tomatoes
I never have too many tomatoes because I have such a small garden.  I have 3 plants this year, one of which is a pink grape variety.  But the remarkable plant that I have is actually one I planted Spring of '05.  I left it in the ground over the winter and when it started producing tomatoes this spring, I just let it keep going.  That's a first for me.  Thanks for the tomato ideas.

my current favorite frozen food is blueberries. when i serve dessert,
pies, ice cream, whatever, i throw a handful of the berries on.  in their frozen state they're quite chewy and create lovely bursts of flavor.

Thanks a neat post. I did not know we could freeze tomatoes. I freeze pasta sauce etc., but not just tomatoes. Now I will. Thanks again.

Aha! So you know what it's all about then.

This fruitcake, Zapatero, is opening up all the wounds from the Civil War with his crazy ideas. Many of  the issues that caused that war are being resurrected.

Did you know that the Army Chief of Staff is under house arrest right now, for suggesting another military coup?

I've had published quite a few articles on Spanish history ; a series on the Inquisition, the Civil War, war graves, and many other subjects. Fascinating stuff

Ariel, I recognize and practice most of what you refer to. I learned my Sp
anish out of textbooks and I travelled in Spain during Franco's time!

It's Andaluz for " Well, you know, dude .. just bowlin' along!" With appropriate shrugs/eye-rolling/facial and body gestures of course
