Hola Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> Not sure what the differences would be,
-> ->  hn> it must be processed to be canned.
-> 
-> -> Had a can of the stewed tomatoes tonight with a fish dish.  They were
-> -> thick cut rings, maybe about 1/2", in their own juice.  My mom always
-> -> called stewed tomatoes the ones she canned by skinning them, cutting
-> -> into chunks if neccessary and packing as many as she could into a jar
-> -> with just their own juice.  They were used in chili or spaghetti sauce
-> -> or just eaten "as is".  She always set a small bowl for my dad to put
-> -> his into; we had to put up with the juice running all over our plate and
-> -> mixing in with the mashed potatoes and meat.
-> 
->  hn> And that's different than what you usually use how?
-> 
-> I like to use the petite diced cut for chili; sometimes those or crushed
-> for pasta sauce.  No eating stewed tomatoes as a side dish here; Steve
-> doesn't like them that way.  Every so often I'll buy a can of stewed
-> tomatoes, okra & corn. Toss in a bit of cooked sausage, heat & serve on
-> rice for a mock jambalya--but do that usually if Steve is not home to
-> share with me.
->
But aren't the petite diced and crushed just stewed 
as well? I'll have to look at the cans next time I'm in
the market...I basically thought they ALL were stewed
if they were canned!
 
-> I used the stewed ones with a small jar of marinaded artichoke hearts,
-> chicken broth instead of white wine and S&P over some flounder fillets I
-> baked.  Served on a bed of quiona--good eating.
->
I like quinoa a lot! Use it to make cous cous as well! 
cook it with chicken stock and some bouquet garni
for additional flavor!
 
-> -> Yes, fresh.  I didn't get any (n one had any) last week at the farmer's
-> -> market.  Did get about a pound at the produce stand in town 
yesterday,
-> -> as well as some peas, egg plant, bananas and a couple of other things.
-> 
->  hn> Prices have not been good for eggplant for
->  hn> quite a while now...I'm hoping they come down
->  hn> soon...prices on onions have gone through the
->  hn> roof lately though! from 39c/lb to $1.50/lb!!!
-> 
-> IOW, you're crying both when you buy them and when you cut them up. 
(G)
->
No Kidding!! was at the store yesterday...yellow
onions, 1.80/lb!! Red onions were $2.10/lb!!
 
-> ->  hn> There's plenty of them around!
-> 
-> -> And they're good for you--adds color to your cheeks--but who wants
->  hn> green
-> -> cheeks?
-> 
->  hn> HMMmmm, didn't he work for Captain Kangaroo? Mr Greencheeks?? (g)
-> 
-> No, it was his cousin, Mr Green Jeans. I figured he'd spilled some
-> yellow paint on his blue jeans. (G)
-> 
Maybe he had pockets full of green beans! Mr Green beans jeans!! 
Chat with you soon!
