my fellow buffalo, how many guys are required to form a punch of guys?

that’s an incredibly apt analogy, thank you 😂

it’s literally always projection. every time. every fucking time.

the fuckin leads are weak? you’re weak.

there are also people who genuinely feel happy for their SOs in these situations. Compersion is real and fucking wonderful. not enough people know 'bout it.

I fuckin hate how right you are.

goddammit.

What do you mean? Normal fridge temps are too cold for things like tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, basil, etc.

I’m talking about a cool garage, basement, a root cellar. Somewhere cooler, so that the ripening process is slowed down to increase shelf life, but not so cold that they get shitty and mushy and gross.

My pleasure, 1222

Store tomatoes are not tomatoes. Unless you’re buying somewhere legit and expensive af, the tomatoes you see in stores are picked green and gassed to turn red. They are dog shit. Probably worse, actually. Seek out local farms near you and get the good shit (and often cheaper than places like whole foods).

Tomatoes are one thing I never buy in a store, except sauce/canned tomatoes, as those products are derived from ripe tomatoes.

Don’t put tomatoes in the fridge, if possible. Put them in the sun, if they need to ripen more, otherwise put them somewhere dark and cool, but not cold.

Basically, store them like potatoes. 50-55F is ideal. They can stay for weeks like that.

(This is all said with the understanding that the tomatoes are whole/uncut. Once they’re chopped up, the fridge is the best option, but they’re only good for a few days)
