The message
from Des Higgins contains these words: On the other hand, my tomatoes in greenhouse have been really really late to ripen. The sungold (orange cherry type) were a month late and my beefsteak ones are only just barely ripening now. All my tomatoes went in late, live outside, and I'm enjoying them now. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

The message
from Judith in France contains these words: I'm glad to hear that about your tomatoes Des, I was beginning to think I was the only one in that situation. The only tomatoes that are ready to eat are the tiny cherry ones, Tom Thumb? Shirley are ripening well (outside), as are Garden Pearl (also outside). Tumbling Tom are not ripening yet, nor are the 'black' tomatoes, whose name escapes me ATM. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

The message
from ®óñ© © ²°¹°-°² contains these words: Similarly with cucumbers. Three plants have yielded about 4-5 cucumbers per day for the last month. Cucumber and watercress soup is delicious. My two ridge cucumbers aren't quite so fecund, but I think I could get tired of them, if i try a bit harder. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

Is the vinegar in the above recipe malt vinegar, spiced vinegar, or white vinegar? Or perhaps it doesn't matter which? I think Malt - my Mother was economic with words when it came to recipes! I think she just knew them ... I will ask my sister when I see her today. Jennifer Thanks Rosie agrees - as far as she can remember it was malt vinegar. Good Luck Good. Spirit vinegar is naff. If you need spiced vinegar, always buy pickling (malt) vinegar to make it from: ordinary malt vinegar isn't so strong, and pickles can go 'off' if condiment-strength is used. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
