Can we trade for a fielder...

A Prince Fielder? He would be that centerpiece offensive superstar we need.
Who would we have to give up? Is this possible? Im all for it considering his offensive power and youth. Plus his new veggie eating habits would fit perfectly in the Bay Area.

You're up there
With pretty funny stuff from rotorueter and wedge, and awesome images from jponry , Natto, and SoFa King Mike. Also, this slightly offensive yet funny piece of historical inaccuracy from Mike Hawk .

Funny times, thanks for finding those. Is there a way to search for comments with a bunch of recs?

Umm…Search for “rec’d”, and about one out of every 15 comments will be a someone recing a comment. Yeah, I know…I was bored. Though I remembered some of these so I knew what to search for (like “seagull kent”).

since someone already broke the boycott...
There was a New York Times article early last season Fielder’s diet. As it turns out, he eats pretty plain food and gets turned off by more eclectic fare. “Eclectic,” in one instance, was an avocado. That being the case, San Francisco might be too much of a foodie town to satisfy Fielder’s tastes…

I’m with Prince on the beets. Beets are gross.

Beets are a good complementary vegetable, but they should not be put in the position of having to carry an entire dish.

I dunno – they do a pretty good job of carrying the entire dish in borscht.
My favorite is just to roast them wrapped in foil and have them as a side dish, though.

All the good culinary vegetables are botanically fruit: cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, eggplant, etc. Tomatoes and eggplants also botanically berries, too.

The other antics are getting nervous.
Has anyone else heard about the horticulturalists’ efforts to help the tomato make the lengthy trek from dirt to dinner and how it’s breeding the taste right out of them?
Some tomatoes make you drool just smelling them.
Others have no scent at all.

Back in Cali, we’ve got heirlooms in almost every supermarket.
No need to buy rubber tomatoes any more.

I got some heirlooms at a farmer’s market for $1 (!!!) a pound. They were grouped with other regular old tomatoes marked “day old.” I got some green zebras and made a really good potato salad with them.

Heck I’m still picking cherry tomatoes fresh off the plant on my patio. Last time I looked there were still 2 or 3 green ones on it. I don’t know if there’s much chance of them ripening now though; the sun is so low in the sky the we get about 20 minutes of sun back there at this time of year.

Some of my favorites aren’t fruit: sweet potatoes, broccoli, bok choi, artichokes…
However, another good one that’s really a fruit is the bell pepper.
