What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I need to figure out what they do other than throwing it in a pan with olive oil, garlic and herbs.
I wonder if you can do the same thing with tomatoes that is done with peppers: broiling them until the skins blister and blacken, then putting them in a paper bag and letting the skins steam off. With peppers, it gives such a lovely roasted flavor, just shy of doing it over open flame.

Mmmm, Trader Joe's has a roasted pepper soup that would actually work as sauce. (I know because their sample last week was the roasted pepper soup saucing tortellini.) That would be nice.

You absolutely can. I just roast them in a hot oven, but it's the same effect. I halve them or quarter them and deseed first, because tomato seeds are nasty.
Eta: and you don't really need to put them in a paper bag to steam, the skins just slip right off as soo as you care to handle them

I need to trot down to the Civic Center Farmer's Market on Wednesday and get some of my favorite dry-farmed tomatoes there. They're small, firm, extremely flavorful and have very little jelly or seeds.

These recipes all would be better if you removed the actual egg from the equation.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I don't even know where to begin with that, but it looks amazing.
I'm not a big fan of dill, ordinarily, but Hec's recent experiments have been shockingly (like, lick-the-bowl) delicious.
All sorts of vibes to Barb's kids and HULK-SMASH~ma to whoever ends up speaking to Incompetent!Weaselly!Agent's boss and delivering total smiteage.
And migraine-and-period-coping~ma to Zen and Pix and anyone else who needs it, and eyeball~ma to Todd, and a million other ~mas to everyone else, and now I have to go again because the new job continues to kick my ass. In a good way, since I can't even remember how long it's been since I last used this much of my brain at work, but still in a massively timeconsuming way.

Mom and I went shopping today because I wanted some things that would pack easily for going to the UK in the fall. I bought this
And this
And I didn't end up paying anywhere near full price for any them.
