Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Have we discussed baconnaise yet?
You mean today?
(BTW, Dylan is now a huge fan of Noah and Grace on Flickr, but I don't think he believes me that they are 2 different people. He asks for "Again Noah!" but when I tell him "That's Grace!" he looks at me like I'm insane.)
When they're all totally and properly killed and smashed, there are many yummy things to do with tomatoes.
Add me to the "hates raw tomatoes" group! I don't even like cutting them up to cook them; that's what canned tomatoes are for.
As for the FCM, I'd have to C both olives and cilantro, and only F mayo--I much prefer Miracle Whip over plain mayo.
Sparky, how are you doing? Are you completely sick and tired already from people asking you how you're doing?
I'm doing well and cruising along as a completely normal pregnant person - all the minor irritations of growing an alien inside, but no problems. We have to see lots of doctors because of my age, and my DH always mumbles something about how annoying it is because they "never do anything." I keep reminding him that's a good thing.
Plus, where are the pictures?
Er, in my niece's camera? She took some this past weekend at my mother's 75th birthday party.
To his credit, boyfriend did try some (raw) heirloom tomatoes when we went to a very, very, very nice restaurant for my birthday last summer. He figured if he was ever going to like a raw tomato it would be one from this restaurant. He did admit that the taste was good but he still couldn't get over the texture issues.
We have to see lots of doctors because of my age
I don't have a problem with getting older at all, but for some reason the constant repetition of "advanced maternal age" when I pregnant with Sara REALLY irritated.
You mean today?
Yep. In light of FCM!

Ha! Noah just calls Dylan baby, which cracks me up as Dylan is probably significantly bigger than Noah. Also, he knows Grace and he know what in the house belongs to Grace. But he doesn't think of her pictures as different than his.
Happy Birthday Tommyrot!
the constant repetition of "advanced maternal age"
I hate it when the very young (female) OB looks at me with sympathy when she says it, and when the overweight high risk doctor mentions it yet again and tells me how I shouldn't worry about it (implying that he'll be able to handle whatever problems I'll be causing in the delivery room).
But, seriously, that's like 2 out of a possible 10 doctors that could deliver this kid, so I shouldn't complain. The average age on the floor of the hospital where I'm delivering is 37.
World's Largest Crossword Puzzle!
That's awesome.
Glad you're doing well, Sparky!
Tomatoes are yummy in any form! My grandfather used to slice big beefsteak ones and sprinkle them with sugar. YUM.
I'll have to try that.
I grew up with amazing Jersey tomatoes. Here is my family's favorite tomato recipe:
Go down the shore.
Hit roadside stand and get large basket of tomatoes.
Put tomatoes and any white bread you can get your hands on (bakery is exquisite, Wonder will work)on kitchen counter.
Make sure there is large jar of mayo in the fridge.
Man, we will eat open-face tomato sandwiches for days on end. There will be occasional sassy applications of pepper. Now and then we'll take a breather and devour sweetcorn that was in a field no more than 24 hours previously. OK, summer needs to come back right now.
