I am growing 66 tomato plants this year. two plants per variety. I feel bad that I had may be 20 extra seedlings leftover which I composted. Those were big 10 to 14 inch tall seedling I started under LED lights. A few were already blossoming. I wish there is an efficient way I could ship some to you from NY. I am way behind in getting my garden in shape. Unexpected things happened, like the rototiller not working dcarch

Thanks Tan Can Cook. dcarch

Thanks TdeV! After the shrimps were shelled and cleaned, I dried them with paper towel so I could vacuum bag them. I sous vide'd them at 150F for about 20 minutes then quickly pan fried them with fish sauce. dcarch

Thanks Smithy! I came across a heart-shaped piece of thick metal, so I turn it into a branding iron. dcarch

After I made Valentine's Day Dinner, a comment was made, "Why can't Valentine's Day be everyday?" So I had to made another one. Sous vide/grilled porterhouse, and sous vide shrimps. Kind of surf & turf. dcarch

Not a good thing that Valentine is only one day. Why can't it be everyday? White clam sauce on linguini, with popovers side. dcarch
