Pork roll is an East coast (I think) slaughterhouse byproduct made of pork scraps - filled with salt, sugar, sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate - Yeah, pure poison, but it tastes so good.

Never had that either... now i must try...

Where to find it though??
Is it like Scrapple?? (never had that either..

)

I bet some of the polish delis would have it up here...(is it a polish thing?)
I'll have to ask hubby if he ever had it before...

Sourland, bet you also went to those wonderful delis and bought cheesecake for dessert.

BTW, the moderators don't allow torture on this board!

We have canned probably around 75 quqrts of tomatoes and juice, and are bringing them in to ripe up as it's getting pretty wet here in Portland.

OOOh, i didnt know that. Why??

Because Red, they just won't have the right flavor. Fry em while they are still hard (and green) and it will taste like you are eating a hard, green tomato.

Not only do we still have tomatoes on the vine, ripe, almost ripe, starting to ripen and green, but we also have new blooms. They refuse to give up. We have canned them, eaten them, frozen them, and fed at least a bushel to the chooks. (no, not all at once, over the season)

The biggest surprise is the green beans. We still have 2 1/2 rows of green bean plants producing. I am hunting for canning jars everywhere. There is no space in the freezer as we have to save room for "chicken camp" next month.

We are thankful for all of the produce and the ability to fill our storehouse, but I was wondering if hawks every take green bean plants instead of chickens? Wouldn't be nearly as tragic at this time of the season as losing a chook.

On our way home from Ft. Smith yesterday we passed a house that has a beautiful vegetable garden that I always admire. Even though our nights are down to the 40s already and we were in a drought situation all summer (and still are), this homeowner's garden looked to be still going strong. I saw red tomatoes on the vines. All I can say is that gardener must be obsessed with his/her's to be able to keep it thriving when everybody else tilled their gardens under long ago.
