Hi Hap,

->  hn> Just so long as you don't end up
->  hn> in Missouri!!

-> Bad weather can happen anywhere; had a bunch of tornadoes in NC 5
 hn> weeks
-> ago that killed 24 people. Not too awful far from where we lived either.

 hn> Yep, got a video from a friend in
 hn> Ohio...hail the size of baseballs!!
 hn> WOW! They hit the ground and would
 hn> bounce up three or four feet in the air!
 hn> If you got hit by one of those it would
 hn> knock you out!!

And give you a nice sized knot on your head. I understand an area a bit
further west of here got some small hail today from the storm system
that went thru a few hours ago.


-> In time, but you will know.

 hn> Ah, so you don't know yet either?

We've known since she told us to expect another one. I think I mentioned
it to at least one person here, thought it might have been you, maybe
Nancy.

->  hn> Peaches are so juicy that can
->  hn> take some effort! Never tried
->  hn> sweet potato butter...apple and
->  hn> pear was all we ever made.

-> Sweet potato butter is on the same order as apple butter from just
-> apples, no cider (as some start with). Cook it low temeprature, a
-> verrrry long time. Stir often to prevent sticking. According to Steve,
-> on a hot home made whole wheat biscuit, it's out of this world good.

 hn> Not much likelihood of me making it these
 hn> days, but it does sound good!

It can be made lower sugar than some of the fruit butters as some of
them do need sugar for sweetening up the butter. I used a good mix of
spicing too.

->  hn> Talk to one of the farmers at the market...ask for
->  hn> them special, I'll bet he'll bring em in for you!

-> Debating that right now. OTOH, got a lot of sewing to do so will
-> probably stop with the pickling that's done. Will do the mango chutney
-> as we use several jars of it per year. Some chili sauce, ketchup, and
-> lots of plain old tomatoes, maybe some bbq sauce and I'll be done,
-> unless something really catches my eye. Green tomato mincemeat if I have
-> enough when the frost threatens.

 hn> Pickled greet tomatoes are good
 hn> Fried green tomatoes are good,
 hn> even green tomato chutney is good!
 hn> Green tomato relish is delightful!

But it's the ripe ones I want to use as many of as possible this year.
What I will do with green ones depends on how many I've got at season's
end. I made green tomato relish and green chutney when we were in AZ;
the former was more popular than the latter. I made mango chutney this
time because I've got some recipes that use it.
