My wife thinks tomato sandwiches Are gross. I on the other hand really like them.
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 my own. Corn too. Nothing better than BLTs and fresh sweet corn in the summer.

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.

This time of year there are quite a few roadside produce stands set up. Farm fresh and vine ripened tomatoes and sweet corn. Plus cakes, peppers of all kinds. New potatoes, onions and squash. With a large Amish community around there is always baked goods too. Free range eggs, fresh bread and maple cured bacon makes a pretty fine breakfast too. Eating good from the farms of NE Ohio

Oh yes but unfortunately there are less and less family farms as time goes by.
I guess we'd rather have our fresh produce from Mexico.......fertilized with who knows what.

I can speak from experience that the rice in Vietnam tastes just fine and it gets fertilized by water buffalo and their tenders.

Take a drive through Amish country. Lots of local farms. It’s more of a seasonal thing here. Canned tomatoes taste way better than the grocery store types. I buy American as a routine. I don’t trust south of the border produce.

It tasted ok, but I got so sick & tired of it that I'll NEVER eat white rice again!! We literally ate that shit DAILY in '67 & '68.

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!!

Well we had this for our early supper today and it was delicious, the turkey two pack was plenty enough for two people and was like Thanksgiving in August. On the potato and onions no peeling potatoes just chop them up with the white onions. This time we used Olive oil to line the deep 9x9 dish, mixed our garden herbs and spices and put into the dish. About 15 minutes on high checked, a few more minutes until the potatoes were just tender and done. Some fresh green beans and ready to eat!
We used some Breakstone sour cream on top of the potatoes and it gives it a good peroghy taste some salt and pepper and we're all set.
For dessert some Rulli Brothers cheesecake mousse pie and it was a meal.

I never had rice until I was 17. It wasn’t allowed in our house. Something about my dad and the Chinese in the early 1950s.
Nothing much special about it anyway.

I love Japanese white rice. Take it over potato anyday.

I never really liked white rice but will eat brown rice with stuff in it like young chow fried rice or something like that.

I made some garlic honey glazed shrimp with rice. The shrimp was great. Home fries would be better tho

See there's your problem Mike. I was raised in Beaumont Texas until age 12+ and ricelands are everywhere, especially around Winnie which is between Beaumont and Houston. Rice was the staple of our table in those days. And irony of ironies when I was in one of those little villes in VN, there was a huge USDA bag of rice standing there which had the shaking hands on it from the people of, where else, Beaumont, Texas. I was like WTF are we both doing here from Beaumont? And to this day I wonder what that bag was doing there in a ville surrounded by rice paddies in Binh Thuan province which was nothing but a rice growing region on the coast south of Nha Thrang. Head scratcher.
But my how things change. None of this existed back in the day. ?
