Hi Dave,


 DD>       Title: Caprese Chicken [Recipe Recycle]
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

 RH> Looks good but I'm out of tomatoes at the moment and not going out for
 RH> a couple of days to get any. We're currently getting rain, some wind
 RH> from the latest hurricane, as of about half an hour ago, about half an
 RH> inch of rain. Storm still hadn't made 2nd landfall as of noon so I know
 RH> we're going to get more wet weather before it's all over.

 DD> My next-door brought us over a half dozen nice sized tomatoes
 DD> yesterday, last of the season as she is composting the vines and

Nice to have them so late in the season. The first year we were in AZ,
we had tomatoes into November. I picked the last of them before the
first frost, turned them into green tomato relish.


 DD> preparing her
 DD> garden area for the upcoming winter. Which may be a way off. Usually
 DD> we get a "killing" frost by now. Had one night where the low got down

I remember getting them as early as mid August/early September. We'll
probably have one here in late October/early November.

 DD> to
 DD> 40+|F. And my da**ed grass is still growing and needs mowed again.

Ours has slowed down, probably one more mowing before the season ends.



 RH> Update Saturday morning. We've had about 2.6" of rain since it started
 RH> yesterday morning. Down to a drizzle now but was quite intense at
 RH> times. A tree blew down between our next door neighbor's house and the
 RH> one next to that--no damage to the houses but probably some to the car
 RH> that was on that side of the driveway. We had small branches and leaves
 RH> come down but nothing major. Steve lowered antennas, picked up loose
 RH> stuff in the yard, etc on Thursday, better to do it before the storm
 RH> hits than have it go flying all over the neighborhood.

 DD> Canada will bear the brunt of Ian's death throes. The hurricanes that
 DD> hit the Gulf Coast ... like Katrina, cause nasty weather all up the
 DD> Mississippi valley. As if we're not getting enough torrential rains
 DD> and accompanying flash flood warnings on our own.

Our section of town got thru with very little damage and our power
stayed on. Hopefully that's the last of the big ones for the year but
we've still got 2 more months of hurricane season.

 DD> This was last night's supper ... a riff on my stuffed pepper recipe.

 DD>       Title: Rice & Beef Stuffed Tomatoes
 DD>  Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Rice
 DD>       Yield: 2 servings

Looks good. Steve isn't much of a tomato eater other than in sauce and
suchlike but I might make this up & freeze the extra one, enjoy them
when he's out for supper.
