But toast with peanut butter, tomato and bacon is good.

It is gross for two reasons

1. Tomato paste doesn't go on cake.
2. 5 week-old cake goes in the trash, not in your mouth.

Unless it's a fruit cake. Those things last millenia.

Back in my youth I had a friend who lived in a basement apartment in his parent's house. On his 19th birthday we had a party in his apartment complete with a birthday cake. When birthday number 20 rolled around the leftover cake was still in the fridge. It hadn't turned green and smelly but it was hard as a rock. Harder even.

I always throw fruitcake in the trash on day 1 because, you know, who the hell enjoys fruitcake?

Tomato jelly is actually REALLY good. This recipe is close to what I have from way back....

Tomato Jelly Recipe - Food.com

The one correction I have with most canning recipes is that you need to disinfect (boil) the jars, lids and rings first ---- when you fill the jars they should still be in a warm water bath in a shallow canning pot. You cap the jars with the lids and rings tightly, then put them on the counter in a group, cover them with a towel and let them cool slowly (over night). They all will vacuum seal. Those that do not, use them first.

Select and remove a nice ripe tomato from the vine. Wipe any bugs, pesticides or bird droppings off of it on your shirt tail. Savor and enjoy eating it while hoping that your neighbor, who tends their tomato plant regularly, is not watching.

No it isn't. :naughty

As for tomatoes, I just throw some in the cast iron pan with olive oil, garlic, whatever herbs I am in a mood for, maybe some onion, and toss whatever in. Works great as a base for pasta or meat dishes. Some people are fond of adding in Star Anise but I am not a fan of that flavor.

You can buy that cheaper than you can make it. Everyone to their own.

When I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with during the growing season, not really.

Trump will be the oldest person to ever take office. He will also be the first President who has never held a government position before, including military. So by basic math alone he will be the most business oriented person to take office. He has only done business and did it longer than any previous president with business experience.

We are in uncharted territory here. It could go either way. It is unavoidable that he will make some big mistakes in the beginning due to his unfamiliarity with the system. The question is will he learn from those mistakes and adjust fire quickly.

Washington apparently died a very wealthy man. Jefferson has a lot of money making pursuits but died fairly way balanced out between the value of his property and his debts based on something I read in the past about him.

Here, let me help you out. Jefferson grew lots of tomato varieties at his house. I doubt Trump even owns a roof top garden
