I 'enjoy' this annoying routine with several other BlogSpot blogs - but far from all. Why is Blogspot so difficult? Even when formally registered with a specific blogsite, most reply attempts result in an endless loop of sign in attempts that lead back to the same loop. <br />Despite a substantial and growing readership, you may wonder why do not often see comments from your readers. The forgoing is why! Some readers try to offer thanks (and comments) for many of your posts, but the supporting software often makes responses far more difficult than should be necessary. In the end, you recieve little or no feedback (or thanks) for your work, yet oodles of readers have tried. Feedback is essential for successful writers and you are not getting your due, because the Blogspot software's REPLY function is so awful. You write and post, we read and you must live without most thanks and validation, until the software is made functional. Nuff said. -C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239521152553433086.post-41244046039369572382011-08-28T15:22:31.870-06:002011-08-28T15:22:31.870-06:00I like this idea so much!

I wonder why I've never thought about it a bit more as it covers all of the bases...<br />-Dirt simple<br />-Ideal use for excess tomatoes of any kind<br />-consistency can be adjusted as necessary<br />-skin bits and seeds are removed<br />-added SALT can be controlled to taste (I dislike it)<br />-with minimal additional processing and the addition of some ascorbic acid (Vit. C for gawd's sake)it can be formally canned or even frozen with minimal loss of 'fresh' quality.<br />Humph! WIth last year's culls from neighbors, I sliced, dried and eventually made concentrated Tomato Powder - stored slaled in the freezer. I love the stuff, but several of the tomato contributors can't get past the idea of adding a 'powder' to their sauces and soups. <br />I guess I still like the highly concentrated, dry powder best, but some whole-body juice will find a place this year. Thanks for the great idea. I wish that my own land would grow tomatoes. Great post!! -CraigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
