Thank you!  I was so happy to learn about this variety.  I am thinking about rooting a couple of cuttings so I can have new plants with a jump start on fruiting.

[thegrindre]

WOW! Lookin' really good!

[Sher]

It looks like I'll be eating tomatoes tomorrow!

We caught up with each other.

Gotta great recipe for these toms.

1. Get yourself a package of Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry

2. Sandwich ham or precooked chicken, light or dark

3. A few cherry tomatoes sliced

4. Small red onion or what ever you like

5. Cheddar Cheese or what ever you like

6. Black olives sliced

7. Anything else you might like on a fancy sandwich

The puff pastry comes 2, 3 folded sections. You can make 6 "Hot pockets" type treats.

Let thaw per package instructions.

Brake or cut a 'leaf' off and freeze the rest.

Lay a long sheet, (1/3), out on a cutting board then fill with all your favorite fillings then fold it in half the long way, wet the edges then stick the two halves together with fork tines. Poke a couple holes in the top to help in releasing the steam and to keep from splitting the sides open.

Bake till golden brown. (Maybe 20 to 25 minutes)

NOTE: Careful about filling one of these up. They're small. Use just a little bit of each filling.

ALSO, they are HOTTER then HOT so let cool a good 15 or so minutes.

ENJOY!

[Sher]

That sounds superb!  Thank you!

your post reminded me I had some of that frozen pastry in the freezer! I will make some tuna pockets today!

This looks almost like a duplicate of my last photo, but I am so proud of them! And I wanted to document how they look before I pick any more to eat.

There are many more green tomatoes hiding beneath the foliage.

Your plant looks as good as mne. :-) Very nice.

Another recipe. My mom made this one when I was a kid.

Leftover pie crust was never thrown away, she made, 'Pie-dough Cinnamon Swirls'.

1. Just cut some Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry into strips

2. Cover with lots of butter and cinnamon sugar than roll 'em up into swirls and bake on parchment paper. They will get sticky and runny but oooooooooo so good.

(Personally, I prefer these made with real pie dough but Puff Pastry isn't bad, tho.)

Nothing hard about this one. :-)

[Sher]

Yes, don't we grow beautiful tomatoes? 

My days of making cinnamon rolls from scratch are probably over. I love learning an easy version!

I would probably like the pie crust version better, too. My MIL used to make a kind of pie dough cookie that had date filling. I loved them.

[Shawn]

PM me the easy version if you have one.

[thegrindre]

Girls girls, there is no easier than what this boy does...

They come round 2 crusts to a box but who cares. Just cut into strips, load 'em with butter, cover with cinnamon sugar, roll into swirls then bake.

It might be easier for some to fill a whole round crust into a log then cut into single swirls.

If you want to get fancy, cover with icing. I don't but they are wonderful either way.

ENJOY!!!

Do you apply a 'wash' on the outside  with milk or egg or just bake as is for the rolls?
