I did indeed. It's the third party whose interests
were in question. Maybe I should have prefaced my
post with "moderator hat on" or something.

Good to know that in this case the system was
working fine. Now it's time to see if Swisher
can get on via that system or if he still has
to use the Steve Thrasher account.

I hope your tomatoes make a comeback. A 
season without tomatoes is like a day 
without sunshine, something like that.

Fresh tomato sauce with mint and garlic
categories: Italian, vegan, sauce
yield: 1 to 1 1/2 qt

4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tb extra-virgin olive oil
3 lb tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped
1/2 ts salt
1/2 ts freshly ground pepper
1 Tb chopped fresh mint leaves, more to taste

Brown garlic in oil. Add tomatoes and cook over high heat,
stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick but chunky
and some tomato liquid still remains, about 10 min. Turn
off heat and season with the salt, pepper and mint.
