  • Hijacking this in case anyone is interested.

    Last year I went down a rabbit hole of trying to find the best canned tomatoes I could find in my area that didn’t cost an absurd amount (the Italian imported ones from speciality Italian stores are excellent but very expensive). My conclusion is a little irritating.

    Alta Cucina tomatoes by Stanislaus (major commercial food supplier) we’re by far the best I could find in terms of quality/taste, availability, and price.

    Bad news: these are designed for commercial use and only come in huge 28oz cans. So I usually open one , use a quarter of it, and freeze the rest.

    Good: Excellent taste. Perhaps not strictly “the best” whatever that means, but so good that it basically made me stop looking further.

    More good news: that 28oz can is only $10 at Costco Business Center, which comes to $2.50 ish per normal sized can, which makes it far cheaper than the other premium tomatoes I’ve seen.

    If you live somewhere like California that itself grows high quality tomatoes then you probably have many other options. If like me you don’t, then I hope this helps.









  • I’ll make a counterpoint, honestly, conservative spaces aren’t handling the stopping all federal grants things well.

    Lots of fiscal conservatives are suddenly having their stomachs drop realizing that Trump could actually cause a depression doing this kind of dumb shit.

    I’m actually beginning to be skeptical of how much of this kind of insane shit they’ll actually put up with, because a lot of conservative people seemingly are actually loudly saying “Wait a minute, this could actually be really bad…”

    They always, always fall in line.

    Even if they continue their idle consternation, if the election were held again today they would all vote identically.

    I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.
