Beautimous! And after a cold, raw, windy day in these here parts?

Priceless!

Jealous of that. Take a look at what our storebought looks like…

What are those pale orbs, separated by the slice of corrugated white tomato?

Yeah it’s rough out here. Even the Whole Foods “heirlooms” at $8 a lb are total garbage

[Cornelius_Gotchberg]

Through no fault of my own, I've been...um...assigned a new sobriquet, which ought be appropriately introduced here:

Though the penmanship may give it away, the assigner's identity shall remain anonymous...though his initials are @Tormato

As for the much appreciated Bacon Lettuce & This seeds, for the life of me, I can't find any information on it; anyone else know anything?

Sheesh! You's being without Primo Tomatoes year 'round would be the last thing I'd expect, there aren't any local growers/suppliers?

Why not ask the original source for info?

I already kinda did:

There is the 2nd M in MMMM, now, ain't there?

That there second M has been...um...divulged...and many thanks!

You must have been reading my mind (in the Short Story section) but I'd been looking into the Bacon, Lettuce, and This variety for a while now and haven't been able to find any links to it; anyone else? (bolds, italics added)

@Whwoz Love that Aussie bacon. To me it’s the perfect middle ground between US bacon and Canadian bacon (ham, let’s be honest).

[Whwoz]

@Mark_Thompson , that is what is called short cut bacon here, doesn't have the fat of the full rashers, which the Mrs in particular is against.

[Cornelius_Gotchberg]

@Mark_Thompson Hog Heaven exists in these here parts; Vine-Ripened Heirloom Tomatoes (stay tuned!) are a mere $1.49/lb at Woodman's.

Shipping 'em to you's @$2.50/lb. & we'll put that extortionary Whole Paycheck on a rail outta town!

The Gotch

[Mark_Thompson]

I like your entrepreneurial spirit! Last time I tried shipping a flat rate box to Vermont USPS held it up and the poor lady ended up with some sour pineapples. Live and learn I guess.

I did have a few ripeys the other day though, Wildling Panamorous mix, and Kitten Paws Pink.

Happy Leap Day!. @Cornelius_Gotchberg Does this mean that you get two super special BLT's? I'm having a BLTC&O (bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese and onion) today. Enjoy the holiday to the fullest!
