On the vine are supposed to be safe, cooked tomatoes safe. I don't know - can washing clean off salmonella?

Not according to NPR this morning. It definitely helps but the salmonella can get through the porous skin of the tomato.

I mostly eat grape tomatoes anyway so I'm not worried.

I don't think that's the issue. I think they are worried about salmonella entering the flesh of the tomato from the vine scar.

But still! Lettuce not the same as pico de gallo!

They both contain or are things you'd fine in the produce aisle?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dulce de leche ice cream recipe.

And if you misread it and just whisk the dulce de leche into the milk/cream cold instead of melting it, the active "cooking" time is only about thirty seconds. (With no apparent negative effects on the final product.)

A co-worker just told me how much the students are complaining about me.

I beamed and said, "I am sure! They hate me!"

He said, "Well, you must be doing something right. The word in the hallways is that you killed the party."

hahahahahah.... maybe my rep for AP will be okay for next year after all.

oh man, Jessica, that sounds amazing. I need an ice cream maker or to get one of my ice cream maker having friends on it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Steph,that's probably more of what I meant. My diabetes -- well it makes an obvious difference. My asthma doesn't care if I eat a ho-ho. however, if I eat an oranges instead of ho-ho's my immune system get a boost and I might not catch the latest cold.

However, I will not give up ho-ho's.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Okay, I have been checking out the Nutrisystem boards, mostly to get food ideas for the diet (14 lbs gone so far!) and they have an off-topic area. CRAZY PEOPLE. There is whole thread about how the media has suppressed the news that Obama smokes cigarettes, since Liberals hate smoking and that would have hurt him. WTF?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Plei, do you remember what it was about cabbage that made it a bad choice for those who were hypothyroid?

It's a goitrogen, and can suppress thyroid function. More listed foods are "Brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnips, rutabagas, kohlrabi, radishes, cauliflower, African cassava, millet, and kale."

Umm. The media hasn't suppressed it. It covered his attempts to quit, last I checked. Seemed pretty silly.
