I think that List administration needs to step in and censor outlandishly
well-written,luscious attempts to undermine my never-ending diet such as
this post.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: tomatoes...

I stopped at my all time favorite farm stand yesterday:)  It's no more  than

a shack that can be pulled by a truck off to the side of the road.  We  were

in the fourth day of our heat wave and the heat came up from the ground and

made everything look a little wavy.  The strawberries smelled so sweet in
that 
heat it almost made your teeth hurt.
 
The strawberries are plentiful, the asparagus is perfect this time of  year 
and the tomatoes have just started. 
 
As the farmer made my change I noticed his well worn hands were stained
from 
berry pickin' <G>.  The best thing?  Sitting there  between the rows of 
produce, shimmering in the afternoon sun like the  finest crystal, homemade 
strawberry jam in shiny new ball jars. (If you don't  know what ball jars
are, I 
can't help 'ya <G>.)  His wife had just  made it the night before.  ("Keep
it cool 
when you get it home" I was  told.  "Yes sir!")  Four jars now sit in my 
refrigerator.  Three  are promised, lol.  
 
Later in the year I might be lucky enough to stop after she's made peach or

blueberry, but summer is here for sure with the first strawberry jam! I  
remember the first time I bought a jar. I went back the very next weekend
to buy 
some for family and friends.  I complimented the farmer's  wife.  "Gosh,
it's 
so good".  "It's not too sweet", she said, "I don't  like a lot of sugar".
"No 
'mam" I replied.
 
This is the fourth year I've made their acquaintance:)  "How was your  
winter", I asked.  "Cold" he replied.  I was just so darned happy to  see
him:)  I 
usually keep one or two jars of his wife's jam in the  refrigerator unopened

for a gray February day when it just feels like spring  won't ever come.
When 
you break the seal on the ball jar and hold the jam  close to your face, you

are immediately transported to a hot summer day when the  fruit smells
sweet:)
 
Me?  I love being able to buy produce from the hands that picked  it:)  My 
tomatoes, perfect things, heavy for their size sit on my  kitchen window
sill 
waiting to ripen.  I have some lovely maple smoked  bacon (also produced 
locally).  I'm craving a BLT on fresh  sourdough:)  
 
It is absolutely a blessing to know where your food came from, and not one  
that I take lightly:)  The asparagus?  Roasted w/ a little olive oil  and
sea 
salt.  I need to remember to tell him how good it was...gosh I hope  the
corn 
is early this year...

I had  just bought some Roma tomatoes a few days ago, so called the store to

see  where they were grown.
