  1. I'm not a gardener, in fact if anything, I have a black thumb. But I have never seen a tomato plant as big as this. It is grown up and over a wall and if it was stretched out it would be 6 to 8 ft in length. And now it is reseeding itself so I may never buy another tomato as long as I live.
  2. I'm not going to have to do that. I checked around the plant yesterday and I already have new little plants coming out from the tomatoes that have fallen down around it. From the looks of it, I'm going to have Perpetual plants.
  3. I told Carlos that if these keep producing like this I'm going to send him out on the street selling tomatoes. Maybe I ought to just send him to Canada with them.

    It's considered taboo now because vegans can't eat it.
  5. I don't know where else to put this but they seem to be a gift from some little bird who deposited a seed right outside my back door. The plant has grown to be humongous and this is about my 10th Harvest. There seems to be no end to them. They just keep on keeping on and right now it is full of little green tomatoes and a ton of blooms. At the price that they charge for cherry tomatoes here, that's about $5 worth of tomatoes right there. I'm not complaining.

    I would say spaghetti carbonara.
  7. You got that right! How in the name of God can that happen in so many different products?

    Indeed he was. His term was 10 years before I moved here but he was still talked about. He was quite controversial. Wanted to restore the Army to Costa Rica. Was it by Chance the Grand Hotel in the middle of San Jose, right next to the National Theater? That would have been the most popular tourist hotel at the time.
  9. That reminds me of the Campbell's chicken noodle soup that we used to get when I was a kid. We used to have to take turns to see who would get the one piece of chicken that was in it.
  10. How many guests are you planning on having? Do you have room for two more?

    Very interesting. Would you care to share a recipe?

    Having made these from your recipe, I can vouch for the truth of this statement. Thanks for reminding me. I'll probably have them sometime this week. And they definitely do need plenty of cumin.
  15. By the way, @liuzhou's picture of the soy garlic is the one that sent me down the original rabbit hole.
  16. A couple of years ago I decided to make pickled garlic. I wrote about it and recorded my efforts in this topic. Maybe it will help you if you decide to make your own.
  17. You can take a good tweezer and pull them out or take a kitchen torch and burn them out. Just take care you don't char the skin.
  18. I Googled the name and this is definitely our Heidi. Lawyer- check. Father, 100 years- check. Can only hope that it is some kind of a hoax, but I fear that it isn't. She mentioned a while back in one of her posts that her health had been deteriorating.
  19. I'm so sorry to hear this. I too have been wondering about her since I had noticed that she hadn't checked in since November 29th. I sent her a couple of messages with no reply. If it is our Heidi I will definitely miss her. I do Wonder, though, if it is our Heidi, it makes no mention of her father

    Do you actually heat the milk and let it cool? Seems to me that's a unnecessary action. By the way, thank you for the recipe and for the clarification. I'm going to give it a try.
  21. @Kim Shook thank you so much. I love your recipe pages. So easy to share and there is never any second-guessing with your recipes. I think that the original recipe that I used had chocolate chips and shortening for the chocolate layer so that's probably what I will use. The fudge sounds great but we can no longer get Hershey's candy bars here. I don't know why but they've just disappeared. I asked a couple places and was told that Hersheys no longer made them. That's their standard answer down here.
  22. Kim, would you be willing to share your recipe? I just went through the internet again and there are tons of recipes but not a one of them are like the one that I used. The peanut butter filling on yours sounds very close except for the brown sugar. And it seems like it would be a lot easier than trying to roll the suckers up into pinwheels. As I remember it was a real PITA.
  23. @Kim Shook your Reese's fudge sounds very similar to a recipe that I made when I lived in Michigan. It was chocolate peanut butter pinwheels. You spread a layer of chocolate on waxed paper and then you spread a layer of peanut butter, powdered sugar and something else on top. You rolled it up into a pinwheel and cut it off in thin slices. The recipe was on all the powdered sugar packages and I didn't even think about it when we moved to Reno. Different sugar company, no more recipe. I've hunted for that recipe forever because it was so good.
