You can get the ingredients you need (citric acid and rennet) on line - try it sometime!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-6545888397289882612010-08-06T09:21:20.663-04:002010-08-06T09:21:20.663-04:00I'd love the recipe for the chilled cucumber s...I'd love the recipe for the chilled cucumber soup if you are willing to share!!!

(And I'm pretty sure picked underripe.) It drives me nuts... they are FARMERS, they should know how to grow a damn tomato!<br /><br />I had lots of success growing dill in my Aerogarden. I've never tried it outside though, so I have no idea what could be going wrong. But if you can find yourself a good plant and get it growing, you can get a ton of dill from one plant. (We still have a lot in our freezer... dill also freezes, and thaws, quite well.)Stephaniehttp://www.completelyirrelevant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-48724644480071639912010-08-05T14:45:43.060-04:002010-08-05T14:45:43.060-04:00We've been eating our garden tomatoes for a fe...We've been eating our garden tomatoes for a few days now, and they're so good. I especially love when they're still warm from the sun. Our peppers are also ripe, and I think we may have a few hybrids -- possibly because we planted our banana peppers too close to our jalapeños? Lots of basil here, too, but no dill. Which is unfortunate because Nick wanted to use it to make pickles. We shall try again next year.Emily (The Culinary Couple)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06298998305737012144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-71582808479413005602010-08-05T14:27:08.050-04:002010-08-05T14:27:08.050-04:00We just started getting ripe tomatoes about a week...We just started getting ripe tomatoes about a week ago. Its true that there is no tomato as good as one you grow yourself. Even farmers market tomatoes don't hold up. We also just started getting cucumbers. We always plant them late because it seems to reduce squash bug invasions. <br /><br />As for the balcony buffalo, no help there. YET. Its only a matter of time before someone breeds a mimi-buff. There are already mini-Jerseys. Crazy 4 foot cows! I kind of want one.<br />http://www.miniaturejerseyassociation.com/S@shahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329629158498598528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-89429328707165820802010-08-05T14:17:45.895-04:002010-08-05T14:17:45.895-04:00YES! :)YES! :)Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948476830389001938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718146618187718643.post-38772922144547717242010-08-05T14:16:33.252-04:002010-08-05T14:16:33.252-04:00Of course, you'd really want a buffalo on your...Of course, you'd really want a buffalo on your porch, right?:)LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.com
