i hate raw tomatoes, and i hate them, haate them. But we had this rogue tomato plant in ala,. pop up in the back yard at a nowhere. It just produced an absolute shit boat load of tomatoes with no gardening care or supervision what oever. And my dad said hat he would eat them, and i never got a chance to bring him some. So i picked them all and i oven dried them, which was what is really how you sun dry them. At his wake, i put a sun dried tomato in her dad's suit pocket, because that's a totally fine and normal thing to do. I have good feelings about cheese tea. No longer an addiction
We're bringing back one shell of an episode with today's encore. What's a tortoise? What's a turtle? Why do they live so dang long? What's up with their junk? Wildlife biologist and testudinologist Amanda Hipps studies gopher tortoises and dishes about turtle nomenclature, cliques, dicks, behavior, burrows, evolution, habitats and more. If you don't dig tortoises yet, you're about to fall deep into a turtle tunnel in love with them.
