Are you forgetful or do you have a brilliant memory.. Is it just me who forgets things? lol

by Breezey Breezey Sun Sep 04, 2016 9:18 am

I forget things.... I had a place I needed to be yesterday and forgot til it was too late.

by Tater Salad Mon Sep 05, 2016 3:48 am

I have a great memory; I just can't remember where I put it.

But seriously, one thing that I find that really helps is to right important things down and take notes. Not that notes help by themselves, but the act of writing them down helps to ingrain them in my memory.

by lorry p Mon Sep 05, 2016 9:34 am

I would lose the notes I wrote on what I wasn't supposed to forget. lol

by Tater Salad Tue Sep 06, 2016 12:38 am

That's the beauty of it though, just writing them down helps you remember things; many times, you won't even have to refer to the notes.

by lorry p Tue Sep 06, 2016 6:28 am

Where is that note pad?

by Tater Salad Tue Sep 06, 2016 8:10 pm

What notepad?

by lorry p Wed Sep 07, 2016 9:54 am

The green one that I have misplaced.

by Breezey Breezey Wed Sep 07, 2016 10:06 am

I reminded myself all week and forget the morning of the day!

by Tater Salad Thu Sep 08, 2016 1:06 am

Breezey, were you too busy thinking about the berries?

by lorry p Thu Sep 08, 2016 6:20 am

I reminded myself all day and forgot what I was reminding myself of. I am too busy thinking of plants too Breezey. (:

I have tons of tomatoes and now my Echinacea and Calendula flowers are coming in...which means time to can and time to make salves and such. smile2

Are you making sauce Breezey? I so want to get our vegie patch going.

by Breezey Breezey Thu Sep 08, 2016 8:22 am

Sauce, juice, diced tomatoes, salsa... still working on ideas. lol

by Tater Salad Thu Sep 08, 2016 7:36 pm

How about pickled tomatoes? Or tomatoed pickles?

by lorry p Fri Sep 09, 2016 10:31 am

How about chutney? YUM

by Tater Salad Fri Sep 09, 2016 6:04 pm

Chutney is something we don't get a lot of over here, since the war.

by lorry p Sat Sep 10, 2016 8:19 am

Why is that Tater?

by Tater Salad Sat Sep 10, 2016 2:55 pm

You know, the revolution.

by lorry p Sun Sep 11, 2016 7:31 am

I admit I am still lost Tater.. What.. they banned Chutney?

by Breezey Breezey Sun Sep 11, 2016 7:36 am

I am seriously laughing out loud at all I just read! This is hilarious!! lol
I've never made chutney and have no idea what I'd use it for. lol

by lorry p Sun Sep 11, 2016 7:42 am

Chutney is a fruity sauce. Beautiful in a toasted sandwich with left over roast meat. Yummy

by Breezey Breezey Sun Sep 11, 2016 7:44 am

I see.

I have never even tried it. Maybe I will do that. smile2

I just made some roasted cherry tomatoes in olive oil. You are supposed to keep them refrigerated and use on bread or toast or whatever.... and the oil can be used for cooking. Something else I've never tried before. smile2

by lorry p Sun Sep 11, 2016 7:47 am

I love chutney. More so than pickles. Give it a go at making it Breezey. I reckon you would like it.

by Tater Salad Mon Sep 12, 2016 1:23 am

I was joking about chutney, Lory. You know, sort of like how we became a nation of coffee drinkers after the Boston tea party.

In actuality, chutney originally came from India, and the British adopted it and made their own versions of it during and after British rule of that subcontinent. So that's why chutney has never been quite the sensation here as in other British ruled countries; British rule of India didn't begin until the mid 1800's, and even the preceding rule by the East India Company didn't begin until 1757, by which time the American Colonies had already established many traditions of their own.

by lorry p Thu Sep 22, 2016 7:28 am

Lol.. I took you too literally hey Tater.. ha ha ha

by Breezey Breezey Mon Sep 26, 2016 7:02 am

I will be working on chutney anyway. lol

by Tater Salad Tue Sep 27, 2016 7:48 am

Chutney's just basically British-Indian for relish, but usually involves something sweet like mango.

by Breezey Breezey Tue Sep 27, 2016 8:35 am

Have you ever tried it, Tater? If so, what did you think of it and what would your preference be in how it's made?

by Tater Salad Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:00 am

I have tried it and I love it, but I prefer a chutney that's more spicy and less sweet. More hot pepper and less mango.

by Breezey Breezey Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:18 am

Well, maybe you can also tell your preferences for salsa too...for I am having issues with flavor! lol

by Tater Salad Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:44 am

Salsa? The hotter the better. The biggest problem I have with typical salsas is that most of them use almost exclusively jalapenos, when they are one of the least flavorful peppers. Cayenne, habanero, scotch bonnets, even chipotle (basically, smoked jalapenos) would be better.

by Breezey Breezey Tue Sep 27, 2016 12:46 pm

Okay, what about added spices or seasonings?

by Tater Salad Tue Sep 27, 2016 5:41 pm

Yes, please!

Anything from cilantro to garlic and onion, to cumin, black pepper, white pepper, coriander, black beans, corn, oregano, basil, parsley, mango, peaches, pineapple, or tomatillos, lime juice,...

by Breezey Breezey Tue Oct 04, 2016 9:10 am

AAAAAHH!! too many things is just as bad as not enough!

by Tater Salad Sun Oct 09, 2016 1:54 pm

I didn't mean you had to add everything I listed!

Okay, how about just diced tomatoes, peppers, onions, cilantro, and a dash of garlic?

by Breezey Breezey Tue Oct 11, 2016 8:53 am

Okay

lol
