so now I am interacting directly with people who have the skill themselves instead of relying on all these so-called big companies.

Yep, and it took a minor thing like that hurricane to wake me up.

Sounds good. We're not so fancy. My Italian grandfathers were both vegetable gardeners, so I'm used to just picking the tomatoes off the vine and eating them. The ones we didn't eat went in the sauce.

that's cool; I recently learned a new dish called Lutenitsa, from Bulgarian, mixed with tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers. It's a great way to preserve those delicious summer tomatoes.

You can easily find out how to make it on YouTube, and it is sooooo delicious!

Now we grow as much food as we can and we preserve some for the winter. Growing vegetables is very difficult because the deer are everywhere. They reached over our fence this summer.
