Yes! Came here to say this. I was so angry coming out of this film and loathed anyone who liked or defended it.

This morning I was thrilled to find the first tomatoes to start ripening. Cherokee purples. Plus some other garden highlights. 🌱 #vegetablegardening

Harvested my first cucumber today. The teaspoon is for scale. 🌱 #gardening #vegetables #cucumbermadness

A cucumber that has grown in a circular shape and looks like a bagel. Although it’s smaller than a bagel. Maybe cake doughnut sized.

For the rose gardeners. Rose petal beads from The Art of Cooking with Roses by Jean Gordon. Noonday Press, 1968. The book has an array of recipes for teas, custards and puddings, jams, cakes, potpourri and cosmetics...and more. If folks are interested, I'll post the index. 🌱 #theoutpost

The store was out of the chili garlic sauce I've been buying. When I got home, this is what I found in the bottom of my bag. Evidently, the idea of going without sent me into a bit of an emotional tailspin. 🍜

I grew up eating bread from Brother Juniper's bakery. I remember being appalled as a teenager that it cost $1.79 per loaf. But Stuan Bread was absolutely the best, my favorite. I don't remember where I got this recipe (it was pre-Internet days) but it's from Peter Reinhart.

Now, I usually bring tomatoes (cut or whole, sometimes peeled sometimes not) to a boil, place them pint canning jars, and store them in the freezer for soups, stews, and salsa. Sometimes I make cooked salsa and freeze that in half pint jars. No need to can them in a water bath.

I’ve been making year-end donations to Pro Publica for the last several years but just started a recurring monthly subscription today for their membership drive. Today is the last day of the membership drive, and all donations are doubled. Hop to it!
