and
btw
I should get some for my wife and have her make, and then say: THIS is fucking chicory.
Where do you find some of this?
-
actually, I do plan on making some hiking staffs - but I'll have to cut a few young sassafras saplings, there's a bunch of them, to also have sassafras tea. and on the way out back to the woods, there is plenty of chicory, which I can roast the roots of, and make coffee.
What is "chicory" and why is it associated with coffee?
My wife will sometimes say when we go out for breakfast at some place new that "this coffee has chicory in it". And I have to tell her, "no, that is just bad coffee that was probably made hours ago and which has been sitting around and getting burnt". Its not chicory. Does any brand name coffee that you are aware of add chicory to their coffee?

Thursday afternoon's lunch special while watching the INDIANS will be my wife's oven roasted turkey thighs......ummmmm, one of my favorites.
She goes to our local Giant Eagle and gets several big thick meaty turkey thighs and adds her special home grown herbs and other spices and in the oven they go.
It's delicious and fairly economical, recipe upon request if anyone is interested.
........edit add, oh and probably a potato side dish, she chops up potatoes and onions and adds some Italian spices or an Italian salad dressing and puts them in the microwave while the main dish is cooking, also delicious!!
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

It does sound good for sure however I have never been a fan of any dark meat, Chicken, Turkey, Duck whatever, I only buy and eat White meat.

We have the taco stuff in house, the wife will pick up some nice tomatoes and TACO TOMATOES will be coming up soon! Yummmm.
.......edit add, these recipes are from Delish online, I've used some of their recipes over the years always delish-ous. That besides our ~100 cookbooks and the fact that my wife is a scratch cook and makes her own recipes.
Bon Appetit!

Really?! Nothing like a well made tuna salad in a quartered fresh farm grown tomato. We get ours from a farmers market in Sun City near Georgetown. Best we've had in years from one particular guy's tomato patch. They taste like tomatoes used to taste before the chain grocers ruined 'em with what I call pulp tomatoes.

How many people here grow their own or buy farm fresh tomatoes? So much better than the "hot house" picked green store bought variations.
I grew up on heirloom home grown tomatoes. We used to even used to use our own seeds.

I grow them. We used to grow about a thousand plants, Dad and I, but I can't do it by myself any more, and the profit at the farmer's market wasn't THAT much. With all the rain, I never got the bigger acres planted with sunflowers.
Growing them organically is the way to have outstanding tomatoes. It works for me, and several folks said they would only buy tomatoes from us, at the markets. I like Rutgers, certain Brandywines, Druzba, and Opalka (paste tomato) for canning.
Plain Eating, "Early Girl" hybrid, Rutgers, Aunt Ruby Green, Cherakee Purple.. a few others I can't remember that grow well in our soil.
But for munching on, SunSugar cherry tomatoes. When they are flourescent sp? orange, they are outstanding. I used to offer kids and adults who hate tomatoes a quarter if they tried one and didn't like it. I lost only one quarter, and the kid came back and admitted he did really like them, he just wanted me to give him a quarter. He went to give it back to me, and I told him to keep it as a reward for great acting, but it isn't good to lie.
The reason tomatoes are generally crap at the stores, is that they are usually mass produced by big farms, sprayed with insecticides and chemicals to prevent diseases...and they grow perfect -looking- types that look uniform and have tough skins etc as to not bruise during the packaging/shipping processes. They also pick them green, and store them in coolers, filled with some gas that prevents them from ripening until the producers are ready for them to ripen.
that's old news, maybe they don't do it anymore. Store tomatoes aren't worth throwing into an unplanted field.
Don't put tomatoes in the fridge. and grow a LOT of Sunsugars because they won't last long - everybody else will eat them.

I grow wild grass in the outback behind my fence. The deer love it, fertilize it and it's so hearty that even though we haven't had rain in a month it's still high and green. Of course I love stuff I never had to plant, never have to fertilize, never have to water and stays green and growing even in the winter. And it attracts deer for viewing off he back porch in the easy rocking chair I never have to get up from to take care of the grass except to mow occasionally when the deer can't keep up with it. LOL!?
For fresh veggies I go to that farmer's market where people who know what they're doing sell me good tasting stuff.?

People grow a lot of grass around here too. It never gets mowed and only seems to attract helicopters

Sunsugars are the most delicious and high yield , indestructible cherries I’ve ever grown. LOVE Cherokee Purples, Kellogg’s, potato leaf Brandywines. The German greens are cool. I’ve grown So many varieties but don’t have time to garden last few years. Only ones I’ve grown I really didn’t like are Hillbilly and Hawaiian pineapple. Both too mild for me.
