Wow! yard looks so different without the tree. But I'm sure the other plantings will take over and make for some nice scenery when a little more mature. Love the irises. Mine get one flower then nothing. Don't have a green thumb like you! :)

Sorry, I'll try to do better. :glare:

It was at 6:30pm. Salad was pretty good, as were the meatballs. :yum:

So, I took the yellow tomatoes, a couple of red tomatoes and some onion and chopped them up and marinated them in a sweet lemon vinegarette dressing. It'll accompany the Salisbury steak meatballs and noodles for tonight's dinner. We'll see how it goes. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and info.

I tried one of the yellow tomatoes with just salt - it had a mild sweet flavor but didn't jump up and smack you like a fresh red garden tomato. Might try the rest in a salad.

Our neighbor gifted us with several yellow tomatoes. I've never had them before and wondered who here has had them and what did you make with them? :chef:

Is everyone caught up on their reading? Further discussion on this book? Are we moving on to something else? Just wondering. :chef:

What a bummer. Did you order on Amazon? You can cancel it and get the Kindle version.

Since I haven't seen anyone else pick another book to read, might I suggest "Food Americana" The following is from the intro on Amazon. #1 New Release in History Humor, Food & Cooking, and Media Tie-In Cooking David Page changed the world of food television by creating, developing, and...

Uhhhhhhhhh - NO!:ohmy::yuk:

I did get the Kindle version - I have a Kindle Paperwhite and it doesn't do color. I have the app on my laptop, but I don't like reading on it. Even in black and white I still enjoyed the pictures. :yum:

I began this book with much anticipation, but about halfway through grew less enthused. I'm not sure I understand completely the reason she wrote the book. Why did she take so long to find another job? With her experience she should have had one pretty quick. Also I found that going to expensive...

The Kindle version does have the photos, although mine are in black and white since I have a Kindle Paperwhite. They would most likely be in color in a different model.

Will someone make a new page for this for the book club. I'm not sure how to do it.

So, what will we read next?

I learned a great deal about all of the flavors mentioned. I never really thought about spices before or how they were derived and processed. This was a very eye-opening read related to how hard people have worked to improve the simple taste of food. I have a much greater appreciation for the...

When is the last time you had one of those MSG reactions? It might be worth trying it again in a small amount. It's been several years for me with MSG, but I have tried sea salt more recently and each time I feel weird after using it. I don't use either anymore and I'm just fine. I have high...

I did enjoy reading this book and it gave me a new respect for the labors of those who produce spices and the lives of the unsung heroes who made these things possible. There will always be those that are looked over for their accomplishments because of gender, color and national origin. But the...

Thanks for that clarification - I think I might give it a try. And if I don't like it I know where I can gift my curry ... :smile:

I've read the chapters on curry and garlic - I've never eaten a curry dish. I'd like try the County Captain, but worry about the spiciness of the curry. My best friend and her husband went on a missionary trip to India several years ago and they were told by the pastor not to eat the local...

I can certainly do that!

I love vanilla - the flavor, the aroma. It's so comforting - especially surrounded by cake! :chef::smile::yum:

I got a little behind in this book due to being sick the last week. Wasn't up to reading or doing much more than sleeping and taking meds to feel better. I did read the chili chapter today and must say it was very entertaining. The story of the Chili Queens morphing into the author becoming a...

I plan on making the Black Pepper Sugar Cookies in the near future, but will most likely half the recipe. That way if it's not a hit I won't waste ingredients on a large batch. Hubs will be the guinea pig because I won't tell him what's in them until after. :chef::lol:

I don't know where everyone is yet with this book, so I don't want to post any "spoilers." Suffice to say I am enjoying the story this author presents and have already learned some new respect for pepper. Her writing style is smooth and chatty without being hard to take. No f-bombs here. Even...
