Various Furmano's products were on sale 5 for 5 bucks, so I started grabbing without paying attention. Anyway, I'm now soliciting ideas for what to do with these tomatoes.

I've never seen cans of tomato like this. Sun Dec 17 05:19:03 -0800 2006 2106669 14028 thejulia 1 2106916 Add some hot peppers (CHILES in the chilihead vernacular) and call the mixture 'SALSA.' Furmano products come from central PA. You from there? Sun Dec 17 13:01:41 -0800 2006 2106669 11977 ChiliDude 1 2106947 Yup - I'm from Reading area. Given that you love the Dilworthtown Inn (was there about 8-10 years ago), I'm betting you've heard of my favs (check my profile)? Anyway - I'm with you on refering to them as Chiles. I was thinking about making some kind of salsa or sauce. Lately I've been into salsa without tomatoes though (just a variety of chiles, plus onions & garlic).

Red pepper flakes are usually from dried chiles, most frequently 'chile de arbol' variety. Mon Dec 18 18:53:56 -0800 2006 2107151 11977 ChiliDude 1 2110059 Chili.
