I like the surface they are resting on in the photo, is that a log table?
We stocked up with italian pasta, canned tomatoes and rice. Maybe not so wise; seems should have choose kimchi
No apology required as far as I am concerned, we all need a few chuckles right now.
He ate the boot laces like spaghetti.
Let me know when you're back down in NY for the Metopera!
Yes they're typically picked riper and frankly is canning that much worse than cooking them down into a sauce? AFAIK tomatoes are somewhat genetically unstable and adapt to local soil and climate as with grapes you simply can not duplicate the same result anywhere.
There is an article that claims 95% of all San Marzano tomatoes are fake, I would have to do my own research.
Cento folks got into a real fight with the NJ authorities over their tomatoes last year. They are still fighting, last I heard.
Quite frankly, as I put a quarter-cup of Lillet blanc into the sauce on March 17, I wouldn't know the difference.
Interesting, COSTCO has their own brand with DOP certification. COSTCO tends to not do blatant fake stuff, reputation and all that. The article I read was a little overly romantic talking about hand picked tomatoes from small independent farms. The DOCG for wine in Italy tends to cover large regions that include small producers as well as big industrial producers.
EDIT - I assume this leaves a lot of leeway.

^ Agree, Cal.
This, among a very few threads would be where I would want to have a "like" function. I don't have anything meaningful to say beyond, "Looks great!"
I suppose I'll just have to type it out
Boneless pork sirloin chunks were cheap at the grocery store yesterday. Long and slow on the pellet grill is probably my best bet, no?
(The elk meat is on pause given some obvious social interconnection issues at the moment...)

Yeah, it was pretty good.
Cooked 5 hours low&slow, then re-fried with onions and garlic, the liquids and spices where reduced properly until a desireable thickness was achieved.
I'd call this proper taco, daddy style.
My only regret is, I only managed two well-filled tortillas...
Thought perhaps I overdid those two, they very nearly failed to be wrapped, and I've entered one of those full-belly hazes. Just barely managed to lift my backside and transport it over to the liquor cabinet, failed to locate the rum and decided to fill my glass of coke with some 60% instead. The beer needed some company, it was feeling lonely.
Edit:
No guacamole, we only had sourcream.
Salsa was like we use to make it, apple, pineapple, chili, red onion, bell peppers.
A little bit of jalapenos and some hot sauce for those who like that, double for me!
