Tonight I am making Pepperoni & Stilton Stuffed Mushrooms.
It's so simple and delicious - You just get some large open cap mushrooms, pop in a blob of Stilton or any cheese you like, top with Pepperoni or Parma Ham, and put them on a baking tray. In the tray add some baby tomatoes on the vine, sprinkle chopped red and green chillies over everything along with some finely sliced garlic. Finally drizzle olive oil over it all and pop it in the oven. You definitely need some crusty bread or garlic bread to dunk in all those delicious juices! It always turns out right, there's not really anything to go wrong with this one  And (for Homer) the more chillies the bigger the kick!

I don't really have the time to eat dinner tonight, so I see a packet of Trebor Soft Mints in my future.

 I usually have about 35 plants, but they didn't do very well last year, so I figured I'd double my efforts this year. Several years ago, I got my two aunts to teach me how to "can" tomatoes. And I usually can about 35 quarts every summer. Why does one guy need so many tomatoes, you ask?  Salsa. Love me some salsa. Every day of the year. Homemade salsa.

When I was a kid my parents did a lot of canning; tomatoes peaches, pears, berry jams... Home-canned tomatoes taste the best - and someday I'll be doing it myself when I have the room to grow a few more dozen plants. This year, I've got two Ace, one purple Cherokee, one Lemon Boy, one Green Zebra and a Mr. Stripey.

 Life is too short to struggle over 5 lbs!!! How awesome that you use your tomatoes all year- I wish I had the time (energy?) to grow vegetables. Maybe next year. An older client I have been working with for a while now brought me a plate of homemade deviled eggs today! She knew my teeth (braces) were killing me and remembered that I loved eggs. Omg they are so good! I can accept gifts like that!

Trader Joe's marinara over penne pasta with a liberal smattering of Kraft grated parmesean.

 Back when I lived in town, I started with 4 tomato plants. I never really loved tomatoes, until I grew my own. OMG, they are so much better than anything you can buy at the store! Then I bought a place in the country,....and lookout! I've converted two flower beds, into tomato beds!!!! Because nothing is prettier, than a bunch of ripe tomatoes, hanging there!Canning IS a pain in the ass, though. I will admit that. It takes me about a 3 hour evening, to can one 12 quart batch. BUT, I just wait until I'm off one evening, with no plans, and just watch TV from the kitchen, until I'm finished. Never having had braces, I'm curious about the pain. Is it the worst at first, then gradually subsides, as the teeth "give" to the pressure? How often do they "crank you down" again?

I sort of made my own braces..... When I was two, I fell down a flight of stairs, and knocked out my two front teeth. So I had no front teeth until my adult teeth came in. As a result(the dentist said, from pushing my tongue through that gap), I had pretty bad "buck teeth", when my adult teeth came in. Well, in 5th grade, I started playing trumpet....it wasn't until about 7-8th grade, that we noticed that my buck teeth were disappearing! The pressure of playing trumpet, had gradually pushed them back into place. And I played until my freshman year in college. My teeth are pretty straight since then. I'd be PIGGING out, that week before you go back in!!!!

They work better when cooked.Last night I had Barilla whole grain pasta with Newman's Own Sockarooni sauce and veggie loose sausage. This is a new dish I tried in the vein of eating healthier versions of things I already like and are simple to make. This one is a winner for me. I served it with Romano.
