    Cherokee Purples are a big time fave. Grow them too, but they weren’t as productive this year. They also aren’t really black but they are a nice shade of purple that tends to “grey” when they get ripe and juicy. By far my favorite tomato for a tomato sandwich.

    Way ahead of ya! Have around 100 or so already dried out. Decided to do the fermentation about a month ago and we plan on planting a couple this next year and will probably give away some seedlings to friends.

    The tomatoes start green, the tops turn black and then they turn deep red once they are ripe. Kinda wished they stayed black and red, but they are really bitter until they get red.

    I think about this a lot. Three years ago, I spent a lot of money redoing my kitchen. Felt like it was way too much for what I was getting but was told this was a 10-15 year thing. Flash forward 1 manufacturer’s year warranty.

    Ice maker in my fridge stopped working two weeks after the warranty ran out. I’ve paid to have it replaced once, and then they came back to fix it under their warranty, but said they wouldn’t again because it was a design flaw in the manufacturing. It currently doesn’t work.

    The “brushed aluminum” trim is basically a giant silver decal that is currently peeling off of my oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

    Speaking of the oven, the igniter has burned out three times. The guy that replaced the first one showed me how to do it again because he was surprised that this one lasted that long. They go bad about every 3 months so you might as well learn how to change it. "These are pure shit, " he said. The manufacturer’s part is $78 and is not warranty if you put it in. A generic ignitor is $18 and has a one year warranty.

    Stuff is not made to last at fucking all. I feel like we’re being fleeced.
