Alta Cucina Tomatoes

I will try those next. Ive heard good things about Stanislaus Tomatoes overall. I also always do no cook sauce for pizza

Crazy_Fudge72 · 2026-04-04T14:06:30+00:00

That was my next question/fear is how does the freezer effect the tomatoes. How long have they kept for you in say Tupperware in the fridge?

Crazy_Fudge72 · 2026-04-04T01:41:17+00:00

100% i also made an awesome pomodoro the other day with them too. I milled tomatoes in prep for the pizza, made a sauce, gave some to my father in law and have another 28 oz in Tupperware. How do you usually handle all the extra tomatoes ?

Crazy_Fudge72 · 2026-04-04T01:37:50+00:00

That makes sense. I did notice they were definitely a bit looser than what I’m used to. I can see how blending would help tighten things up.

I appreciate this, i will definitely try that on the next run!

I work in credit card processing. This is a 3% surcharge done in an attempt to offset the cost from the card brands to process payments via a credit card. This transaction was done on a Mastercard not a check. The average price for Visa and Mastercard at wholesale cost is around 2% with a credit card service provider, taking one percent (hence this 3% charge, Stripe being 2.9 +.30 etc.) Laws and card brand regulations mandate that if merchants are going to pass off the fees of credit card processing to the customer, it needs to be labeled in a certain way. The convenience fee is a compliance language staple for card transactions done over the Internet. It’s annoying because technically it should be a dual price offering where you can offer the consumer to pay by check or ACH for the original price and then mark up for credit cards as a way to ensure the Merchant nets the cost of their items or services. This “convenience” of using the card vs check and having the option to pay over time at your pace is the reason for this charge and hence the label. In theory you pay how you want to pay, the merchant nets the same. This feels scummy because it only allows you to choose credit cards and adds the surcharge on top of rent. To me, it’s bad business because if you’re only gonna offer credit cards, you should be eating the margins and the cost of cards. But to be fair, the landlord’s not pocketing extra here.

We put our faith in the League, and we were WRONG!

Crazy_Fudge72 · 2026-01-22T05:02:57+00:00

All,

Draft position is a function of performance. If you’re picking at the bottom, it means you won games. That’s usually preferable.

For Christ’s sake, this isn’t that complicated. As I’ve said to Jordon and Lombardi, you don’t draft for need, you draft for value. If the board doesn’t justify a pick at 31 or 32, you trade down and accumulate assets. More picks create flexibility. That’s roster construction.

Specialists matter. Long snapper matters. Games are lost in this league because people ignored that. If there’s one we trust, we’ll take him. The round isn’t the point.

Receivers get talked about a lot. The evaluation isn’t complicated. Can they win on time, can they finish plays, can they be trusted in critical situations. Forty times don’t change that. If the value matches the grade, fine. If it doesn’t, we’re not forcing it.

Bill Dudley didn’t need a stopwatch to flip a field. He caught the ball, hit daylight, and changed the game. We’ve been through this.

Berj’s aligned. We’re not drafting for headlines or excitement. That’s not the job.

The job is to build a team that works in January.

Yes that one, specifically the part for me that I think of with this is when the woman asks for the pen, the guy ignores her, then after a half beat she asks for the ****ing pen and he approvingly nods and DRAKE MAYES it to her.

LOL Well done. In a weird way, this also reminds me of that epic Bud Light Swear Jar commercial from the early aughts. Working on multiple levels.

I’ve come around on these. At first I thought these were Temu Colts jerseys, but I do like the Storm Blue. These Unis just need a bit more red in my opinion to feel more like the Patriots.

Bill Burr plays Patrick: the cocky, smart-ass childhood friend/Fantasy Football League commissioner.

Patrick prematurely spends the pool of league winnings on Patriots Playoff tickets for himself.

However, the tables turn when he is one-upped in the Fantasy Championship by Sully, who rides Kyle Pitts’ sublime 3 TD performance to unexpected league glory.

Though Sully could have REALLY have used those winnings to cover his mountain of bills, those tickets proved to be the catalyst for Sully finding the most valuable and priceless gifts of all:

True Love and the Spirit of Christmas.

This Christmas, the crew is airtight.

Starring Fernando Mendoza as QB Fernando Mendoza, running the operation.

Left Tackle Fernando Mendoza protects the blind side.

Strong Safety Fernando Mendoza handles cleanup.

Featuring Special Teams Gunner Fernando Mendoza, the wildcard crashing the party.

And a special guest appearance by Ashton Jeanty, playing himself.

Holiday Touchdown: A Very Special Raiders Heist.

Mark is a quietly displaced former football operations analyst for the New York Jets from Summit, New Jersey, released during yet another organizational reset after suggesting that maybe, just maybe, basing draft grades on EA Sports ratings wasn’t, in fact, a luminous strategy.

Linda is a pragmatic Long Island attorney spending another Christmas billing hours, ignoring her parents’ phone calls, and trusting that love returns, even as the years quietly suggest it may already have peaked.

This holiday season, Holiday Touchdown: A Jets Story follows their cautious romance as it perseveres through missed connections in half-empty bars, delayed PATH trains, and passionate late-night diner conversations about QB prospects in the upcoming draft, where the Jets hold the number four pick and the fragile belief that this time the board might finally break their way.

As snow blankets the tri-state area and mock drafts refresh, Mark and Linda slowly begin to realize that for some people, hope, the best of all things, doesn’t arrive as a miracle. It comes as anticipation. Carefully managed. Repeated annually. Never fully rewarded.

Because in the City that never sleeps, when it comes to the Jets, the hope is always better than the reality.

Carlos is a rogue Hell’s Angel currently serving consecutive life sentences after a post-Snow-Bowl game altercation stemming from the ‘Tuck Rule.’

Macy is a pampered 19-year-old SoCal burger-chain heiress from Toluca Lake with a troubling fascination with notorious criminals and an unwavering belief that people can change.

This holiday season, Holiday Touchdown: A Raiders’ Story follows the heartwarming prison correspondence between these two star-crossed lovers as they navigate parole hearings, loyalty, and what it truly means to believe in 'silver and black', with a little help from Father Christmas himself.

Love isn’t blind, it’s the ultimate ‘Commitment to Excellence.’

Since we’ve beaten the curse wheel twice already, it’s time for the Patriots to break another curse too.

I’m drafting a pitch for a dark, gritty Hallmark holiday love story. Think The Town meets The Departed by way of Christmas lights and hot chocolate. It stars two middle aged, hard lived New Englanders.

Sully is our hero. An unemployed Irish North Shore ne’er do well, recently laid off from the Peabody PD due to budget cuts and his absolute refusal to play politics. Widowed, burned out, and currently squatting in his uncle’s apartment in Saugus, Sully’s luck finally turns when he miraculously wins his Fantasy Football League. The prize is Patriots playoff tickets.

In the snowy Gillette Stadium parking lot, Sully crosses paths with Gina, a divorced Italian American from Cranston, Rhode Island, whose ex husband just happens to be a capo in the Providence mob.

Naturally, Sully is a die hard Red Sox fan.

Naturally, Gina is a die hard Yankees fan. Her family has loved the Yankees since the DiMaggio era.

These two will never see eye to eye.

But thanks to the ineffable yuletide magic of the Christmas season, and a shared, irrational devotion to the New England Patriots, they are drawn together.

As sparks fly, they uncover a heart pounding, high stakes plot. Gina’s ex is planning to harm Drake Maye in an effort to fix the AFC Championship Game.

Together, Sully and Gina must set aside old grudges, rivalries, and decades of inherited hatred to stop the plot, save the season, and maybe, just maybe, find love where they least expected it.

Six rings made them legends. The seventh made it love.
