Ripe garden tomatoes + Salt = drool
Even better with white gravy

Everything is better with gravy.
I am a big fan of mates halved, cated lightly with olive oil and then sprinkled with coarse salt, oregano, mozzarella and feta. THEN stuck in a broiler until the cheese is melted and a little burned.

But 'maters 'n salt is a cool, juicy, 2 second snack. ^^That sounds like "cooking."

Nope. It's usually the quick appetizer I make when I am cooking big time. It takes all of two seconds to half and put stuff on them and it tastes delicious.
I love rich tasting foods that are amazingly quick to make. Tonight I made beef stroganoff, roasted asparagus, and steamed carrots for dinner in less than 30 minutes. That included all the prep, cooking and plating time.
tonight I made pancakes because it is only food in the house. YUM!
I'm going to make pickled jalapenos again, and also pickled green 'maters. Wooo!
How do you pickle them, dazie?
Man, I had some pickled okra once, and it totally totally ruled.
I just made pickled beets and pickled carrots this weekend.
Vinegar, water, oil, spices... I'm actually going to attempt to CAN this time instead of wussing out and making fridge pickles.

SHE TAKES THEM BARHOPPING :o
Canning is pretty damn intense. I usually just throw my jars in the oven until they are simmering inside, but still keep them in the fridge.
Man, do I ever have a story of domestic unrest on the beet pickling day. But that's neither here nor there.
What's Okra?
I think we need to find the Nishi Pickled Beets reading.
Pure. Gold.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not.
He's kidding. He's from Irmo - home of the famous Okra Strut.
At least, I hope he's kidding.
I just put 5 jars of jalapenos and mixed jalapeno and green tomato in the pot to process for 10 minutes. Yay!
AND- I still have a bunch of peppers and stuff left, so I'm going to make more.
I went to my parents house tonight and my mom had boiled peanuts. OMG YUM!

Just get regular peanuts and cook them with salt and a ham bone. So yummy!

I don't think you understand the level of salt DS is talking about. Add enough salt so you say "I think I put in too much salt." Then add more.
The thought of boiled peanuts makes me queasy.
