    Making Bloody Marys from actual tomatoes

    Hey everyone I'd like to (for no special reason) make Bloody Marys from tomatoes, as opposed to buying bottled/canned tomato juice. How would I go about that (I do not have a juicer)? Can I literally throw whole tomatoes into my food processor? Any ideas?

    Yet another Cast Iron Skillet question- or 3

    Sorry guys, I'm new to the whole cast iron thing. So far I really like it, especially the no-cleaning part :rofl: Well, I should really say "minimal cleaning" shouldn't I?

    Can I use my Dutch oven as a roasting pan?

    Do you use celery leaves in veggie stock?

    Yesterday, right by my work, a little farmer's market sprang up. I had never seen it before, so I walked over and bought some veggies (turns out that they had only been there for a week, and I had been on vacation). Anyway, I bought some veggies from them, including celery. The celery was...

    Stupid question about using watercress

    Hey everyone I followed a recipe yesterday for a salad using watercress as the main ingredient. I bought 2 bags of watercress, some tomatoes, onions, etc. The recipe said to cut the watercress leaves from the stems and to discard the stems. This took me seriously like an hour to do. :wacko...

    Herb infused oil

    Hello everyone, this is my first post on DC! I just discovered this place (well, not really "discovered", as it existed before I found it :smile: , but you get the picture). Anyway, I know this has been beaten to death in previous posts, but I need some clarifications that hopefully you...
